  1. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    Went to start my car and it did but would not go into gear - "Transmission Problem" error message on dash. Had to have AAA tow the car - Acura mechanic had to come to house to manually unlock transmission so that we could push car into driveway where it could be loaded on to flatbed...
  2. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    I pressed the D/S button in my driveway to take off today and the car jumped forward and then dropped into neutral. A transmission system warning came on, so I turned it off and turned it back on. It drove off fine. Last week the oil presser switch went up and caused the transmission to drop...
  3. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    Hello, looking for some help from others that may have experience this before, today while driving my MDX (2014, SHAWD) I noticed some weird shifting and I parked and connected my OBD2 Sensor and under Pending Codes it was stored a P0777 (the check engine light didn’t turn on). So I turned the...
  4. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    I'm a new owner of a 2012 Advance with 170k mi. Transmission seemed a bit sloppy or schizophrenic at times. Then it started surging at 1200 RPM with light throttle, i.e. in traffic at 35mph. The RPMs would waver between 1200 and 1400, kinda bounce up and down. So I drain/filled the ATF- putting...
  5. First Generation MDX (2001-2006)
    I have a weird transmission issue in my first generation MDX. I have to shift all the way to 1st or 2nd to take off. 3-4 and 5 shift themselves with no issues, however if Im in D5 and have to stop, it shifts to neutral, and refuses to shift to 1st. I have to manually shift to 2nd to take off...
  6. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    Hey guys. I'm new here but have been on a few other automotive forums in the past. I bought a 2015 sh-awd advance w/res entertainment package earlier this year with around 150k on the odo. Car has been nice so far. We recently took it on a drive from Pittsburgh to Dallas and back. Towards the...
  7. Transmission Problems
    I recently purchased a 2016 AWD tech/ent with 105k and had some issues with hard shifting. The dealer did a transmission flush and all was better for maybe 2 weeks and it started slipping again. Brang the car back and they replaced the whole transmission. Took it home and it was shifting all...
  8. Fourth Generation MDX (2022+)
    Hey everyone, So I have had my mdx for about a year and 14k miles later, I have started hearing a clicking sound when I turn the steering wheel to the right. This sound is audible at lower speeds or when stationary and only happens when I turn right. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with...

    Thanks for your help in advance !! I just had the 3.5L engine in my 2006 MDX touring replaced. I had the vehicle up on ramps to change the oil as I always do, but this time I noticed that I must be missing a cover of some sort. I am sure it was there before or it would have stuck out like a...
  10. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    Hi all, New to forum and I'm in a bit of a panic here. Long story short my tyranny went out. I got a replacement from auto wrecker put it in and now everything seems seized up. Can't turn over the motor by hand or turn the fly wheel by hand. I was able to turn the flywheel while I was bolting...
  11. Problems
    So I was driving along, no problems and suddenly my entire dash lights up like a Christmas tree as you can see in the images. I have the electronic break light flashing, I can hear the transmission grinding and and even the gear 'D' on the gauge cluster is blinking. As I change gear, I hear a...

    Could a transmission specialist please advise me on this... 2003 MDX.. tranny works fine and shifts great at first, but after it warms up I lose all gears, everything seems like neutral. I can shut off the car, start it right back up and have normal gears again for a few miles, then have to...

  15. First Generation MDX (2001-2006)
    I’m looking at a 2004 MDX on Facebook Marketplace. 176,000 miles $4,000 1 owner I asked the seller if the car has had any transmission issues or work, or if it has been replaced. He said no issues or work on the transmission. This scares me because I’ve read horrible things about the 04 MDX...
  16. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    Alright, so I’ve found a great MDX with <100k miles at a price I can stomach. I’m ready to pull the trigger here, then I came across sites with info about how MDXs are known for transmission failure, kind of across the board. I thought the 08s-09s were ok, but it looks like that may not be the...
  17. Transmission Problems
    I was driving my 06 MDX on the highway and noticed a faint burning smell, smoke, and revving at 5k rpm. I looked under the hood and saw a fluid splattered around the right side of the engine and where the transmission fluid goes. Is my transmission dead? Just fixed oil leak, new tires and...
  18. First Generation MDX (2001-2006)
    Torque converter clutch issue related to this error seems to be fairly common but I don't see any drill downs in this or other forums. I can see stories how triple flush and solenoid replacement made the issue go away for a week or 2 but not the real diagnostics, let alone solution. My 2003 X...
  19. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    Has anyone pulled the transmission in a 14+? My 2014 regularly will not go into park or drive properly... car acts like it is in neutral. The dealer is telling me I need a new transmission. I'd rather pull it myself and bring it to AAMCO for rebuild to save money on labor. Unfortunately, I can't...
  20. New Members Introduction
    Just bought an 04 MDX with 172K on it “ as is” and it came with lots of problems. This one I can’t figure out. The transmission had almost 2 quarts more in it and I drained it to spec. Did a drain and fill and it seemed to work but the check engine light came back. It goes out after a few days...
