Hello,
I have a 2016 Acura MDX AWD, ADV+ENT that I purchased in September 2015. The car currently has about 34K miles. I recently started to hear a loud "chirp" sound when I hit the accelerator as the car is traveling around 30 mph. It's an intermittent sound that you don't hear when you first start driving the car, but once it's been driven for a few minutes, you start to hear it. Especially during stop and go traffic on the freeway. Has anyone encountered this issue or know if this could potentially be a transmission issue. The car is running fine, other than the loud chirp.
So I brought the car into the dealership due to a recall related to the tail lights/sealant. I discussed the issue with the dealership and they will take it for a road test to see if they can replicate the sound. The Service Advisor then asked if I had my transmission and differential fluids replaced. I mentioned that I had not seen a service reminder with that code pop up. The only ones that I've seen were to have my oil changed and tires rotated. The service advisor indicated that I should have already had "2" trans oil change and differential oil changes done by now. Is that TRUE?!? I just started poking around the forum sites and some people are saying transmission change at 50K. I know that YMMV depending on how you use your vehicle, but I honestly don't believe that I've seen those reminders and I am mindful of them.
So my two questions:
1) Has anyone experienced the chirping sound during acceleration
2) What are the estimated miles that I should replace my transmission fluid and differential fluid.
Here's a link to a youtube video which matches the issue that i'm encountering:
Thanks in advance!
