2016 Acura MDX
Engine not specified
| 22000 mi | After repeated trips to dealer, it was finally determined that coolant fluid was contaminating transmission fluid. The engine RPM would surge by 300 to 500 RPM when using cruise control on level road. After third trip, Honda sent a factory expert who determined the problem. Dealer service manager is inept. Replace entire transmission and cooling system. I left the car for 35 day and honda reimbursed me for 1 month of loan payment of $505.00 |
