2001 ACURA MDX Vehicle Speed Control Problems

I was Driving down the HighWay at 70 MPH and the Vehicle is “Jerking” like I am Breaking then proceeded to fail to Accelerate and keep up with my RPMS.

ITS SHOWING ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL THAT INDICATES THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED AND RADIATOR AS WELL AND HAS OBVIOUS SIGNS OF OVER HEATING AND GEAR DAMEGES. ENGINE LIGHT AND FLASHING D5 WITH ALL CODES FROM POWERTRAIN.*DT*JB

Mileage: 160,000

THE SPRINGS DON'T WORK RIGHT, THE 4 WHEEL DON'T WORK AT ALL, THE CAR DON'T GET UP TO SPEED LIKE IT'S SUPPOSE TO. EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A SHARP TURN THE TRANSMISSION STARTS MESSING UP

VEHICLE/TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY JERKS AFTER READING NUMEROUS FORUMS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON REPLACEMENTS FOR RECURRING ISSUE...THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED. *TR

2ND OCCURRENCE) DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2012, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER MOVED UP AND DOWN REALLY FAST. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IN RUNNING. ON MY WAY TO THE MECHANIC THE CAR ACCELERATED REALLY FAST WITH A HARD JERKING MOTION. IT CUT OFF WHEN I STOPPED AT THE STREET LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND DROVE NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN FEET WHEN IT STARTED JERKING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE IDLE UNIT THE VALVES. 3RD OCCURRENCE) DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH 2013, I WAS DRIVING TO VEGAS WHEN THE CAR STARTED SMOKING I PULLED OVER TO LET THE CAR COOL. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE A FEW MILES WHEN IT BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND SMOKE AND. I CALLED AAA AND GOT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHICH HE QUOTED ME $3,400 FOR A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. *TR

1ST OCCURRENCE) DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH 2011, THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT WOULD SPEED UP THEN LOSE POWER. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STOP THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO PUT IT ON A MACHINE THAT SHOWED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I PAID $2,800 FOR A REBUILT 90 DAY WARRANTY TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO BRING AWARENESS TO THIS ISSUE ALONG WITH REIMBURSING CUSTOMERS FOR HAVING TO SPEND THEIR MONEY REPEATEDLY FOR ISSUES THAT KEEP OCCURRING. I NEED HELP IN FINDING OUT HOW I CAN SUBMIT A CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF HONDA'S FAULTY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

2001 ACURA. WHILE DRIVING LAST EVENING IN 35 MPH ZONE. PUSHED AND RELEASED THE "SET SPEED" BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL TO MAINTAIN SAFE, LEGAL SPEED. CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I LET IT GO TO SEE IF IT WOULD CEASE; IT DID NOT, SO FINALLY AT 60 MPH, I TAPPED THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE AND SLOW DOWN TO CORRECT SPEED. TRIED TO REPRODUCE, ONCE, DID NOT RECUR. BUT SCARY EVENT NONETHELESS.*AK

Mileage: 35,645

DRIVING HOME LAST EVENING; FIRST 5 MILES; UP A HILL; SLOWED TO MAKE TURN ONTO FREEWAY. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE ENGINE DIED. POWER STEERING BECAME VERY SLUGGISH; HAD TO STRUGGLE A LITTLE TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD. CAR RESTARTED EASILY, PROBLEM DID NOT RECUR THAT NIGHT. *AK

Mileage: 35,640

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE TO MY RIGHT TRANSMISSION FIRST APPEARED TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH TO 4TH AND THE CAR ACCELLERATED NORMALLY, BUT SUDDENLY THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED DRAMTICALLY, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED DEACCELERATING AND FISHTAILED WIDELY. IT SIDE SWIPED THE CENTER DIVIER OF THE FREEWAY, DAMAGING THE LEFT SIDE. IT APPEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO A MUCH LOWER THAN NORMAL GEAR (LIKELY 2ND) AND THE ENGINE RPM THAT WENT OVER REDLINE, CAUSING THE ENGINE GOVENOR TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND THE LOWER GEAR TO PROVIDE EXCESSIVE ENGINE BREAKING, CAUSING THE LOSS OF CONTROL.*AK
