"2001 Acura MDX - do not purchase due to transimission issues!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My 2001 Acura MDX with 113,000 miles has recently experienced the same transmission issue that I have read about on this site.

At first, the Acura Dealer told me that the only option was to completely replace the transmission at a cost to me of $6,000. After researching the transmission issues on this website, I told them that I was aware of the numerous transmission issues on the 2001 MDX. To my surprise, the dealer quickly changed their tune and offered to replace the transmission for me with a brand new transmission for $1,000. I agreed to have this done, but am very disappointed with these transmission issues. I will seriously doubt purchasing another Acura product after this issue.

Also, I think it's completely wrong of the dealer to only agree to reduce the cost after I had to prove that I was an "informed" consumer. Thank goodness for the information I found on the web.

General comments?

2001 Acura MDX - significant transmission issues.

Dealer will only replace transmission, which is very expensive, ranging from $4,500 - $6,000.

Do not purchase a 2001 or 2001 Acura MDX - buyer beware!!!
