My wife and i purchased a
My wife and i purchased a used 2016 MDX SH-AWD with about 40k on it. Within 30 days of owning it, our transmission and torque-related problems began. It pushes a code P2638 which relates to torque conversion. Basically, when driving at interstate speeds, it can drop into neutral suddenly and without warning. After some anxious moments and many pushes of the drive button, it goes back into gear. This has occurred several times making driving of the vehicle totally untrustworthy. The dealer could not reproduce this problem and even enlisted Acura headquarters. After leaving the vehicle at the shop for almost 3 weeks, Acura finally gave up and told us they have no fix. This is totally unacceptable. I share this so other potential MDX buyers would be very careful before buying. I would go as far as to say avoid this vehicle until some fix is made. It is too dangerous to risk driving. Otherwise, the transmission, this fancy 9-speed thing, is jerky and not representative of a luxury vehicle.
