2003 Acura MDX review from North America
"Need to redesign the transmission flaw"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car will roll backwards on a hill switching from brake to gas...it's an automatic!!!
General comments?
Excellent vehicle, but be very careful of the transmission weakness. There is a time lag going from drive to reverse and back again. The dealer says it is part of the compromise for better mileage. It can really be dangerous. Otherwise the car is near perfect.
