Hi guys, newbie here so go easy; did a search but couldn't come up with any answers.
Has anyone had any issues with their MDX torque converter, had it or the AT replaced.
I ask because I have just recently bought our 7 seater MDX which we thought the perfect mix of space, offroadability and affordability at the time. I'm not so sure now as we have heard a shuddering noise when coasting at 60 k/hr over the last couple of days not so disimilar to these threads here (http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1f7a5c/0) and here (http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1775eb/0). It's amazing how many people have these issues, and there only the people who can be bothered to a, use the internet, b, actually post online. I just can't find any information regarding anyone in Australia with this issue or how to go about remedying it/lobbying Honda Australia. It is under 3 month warranty and the dealer is going to speak with Honda, armed with the service bulletin which I found here (http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/thebesthonda/2010-02-04_181956_B06-003.pdf).
Personally I'd rather go to the dealer myself as I've read too many stories of dealers just saying that they've never heard of the problem, can't replicate the issue etc etc. We love this car but were kinda banking on the fact that Honda was synonomous with quality build...
Anyone else have any experience with this or similar TC issues.
