  1. Transmission Problems
    If you see this blinking warning on your dashboard "Transmission System Problem" + "Blind Spot Monitoring Problem," DO NOT PANIC. As long as the vehicle is operating normally, just know that it needs to be checked first before you make any conclusions. THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOUR TRANSMISSION IS...
  2. First Generation MDX (2001-2006)
    Great forum, I've gained a tremendous amount of knowledge (and confidence!) here. Thank you to all that have posted, this is my first. I've got 170K miles on my 05. I've been slowly replacing everything suspension-wise in the front end with great results. Slow and steady was the key to my...
  3. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    I have a 2018 MDX Tech & Advance AWD ~75,000 miles - And there are 2 symptoms: Whenever I press on the gas, there is a slightly delayed acceleration effect (I also have a 2009 Acura TL; perhaps it's just a difference in my pedal-to-the-metal driving behavior that I needs to adjust)... What...
  4. First Generation MDX (2001-2006)
    2005 MDX at 222k miles, been running great over the last 15 years on a maintenance schedule for normal conditions. Just noticed the vehicle would stall on my steep driveway (15-20 degree) unless I shift to 1st gear. In any other gear, the engine would just rev and the vehicle would come to a...
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. 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...

  19. 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...
  20. 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...
