AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION- I BOUGHT MY 2001 ACURA MDX IN MARCH 2019 IT HAS RAN FINE UNTIL AUGUST 2019. IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLANKING NOISE ON AND OFF WHEN I TOOK OUT OF REVERSE, THEN AT ABOUT 40-50 MPH IT STARTS HAVING A VIBRATION THEN GOES AWAY AT OTHER SPEEDS. ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL SET MY RPM WENT UP TO 5000 SO I TAPPED ON BREAK WHICH MADE IT GO BACK DOWN TO NORMAL, SO I WENT TO ACCELERATE BACK UP TO SPEED AND NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THEN IT ACTING AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING IN NEUTRAL AND THEN IT WAS FINE AGAIN FOR A SPLIT SECOND SO I TURNED MY HAZARDS ON AND SLOWED DOWN MORE AND PULLED OFF INTO GAS STATION TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND NOTICED ATF ALL OVER THE PLACE THE GROUND WAS COVERED.

I PURCHASED MY 2001 ACURA MDX IN MARCH 2019. SINCE PURCHASE THE CAR CONSISTENTLY MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO REVERSE. IT ALSO CLUNKS CONSISTENTLY GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THERE IS HESITATION IN THE CARS SHIFTING. AT TIMES I EITHER HAVE TO SPEED UP OR LET SPEED OFF FOR A TRANSMISSION SHIFT TO OCCUR. THE CAR SHUDDERS HORRIBLY WHEN BRAKING AT LOW OR MEDIUM SPEEDS. IT FEELS UNSAFE AND SCARY AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A COMPLETE WIPE OUT OCCURS. SEEING THIS AS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND YET CALIFORNIA IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE RECALLS SEEMS RIDICULOUS. THESE HAPPEN ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS DAILY WHILE DRIVING SAID VEHICLE.
