New Transmission at 6,000 Miles!!!!!!
Loren, Encino, CA, 05/30/2016
2016 Acura MDX Technology and AcuraWatch Plus Packages 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
I began leasing this 2016 in December of 2015. After 5 months and about 6,000 miles I noticed a "clunk" sound only on the upshift between 20 and 30 MPH. Took it to the dealer and had a test drive with service manager. He hears the sound and says "I have never heard that sound before!" I actually let him drive the car so he could hear and feel what sound it was making. Sure enough … they want to replace the whole transmission. I was told something about a seal allowing some fluid into the transmission. This is not what I would have anticipated for a car that costs this much! Very disappointed, this is going to be a very long lease period that cannot wait for it to end.
Interior design

My wife did not like the tricolor interior - the dash drab gray, the seats are whatever the trim color is supposed to be and then there are simulated wood appointments in the middle. I could have lived with it but it sure was not attractive. We're going to wait to see what 2017 or 2018 brings for Acura and Lexus.
Infinity to Acura a different story

2016 Acura MDX Technology and AcuraWatch Plus Packages 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
I was in a journey in 2016 looking for a new car since I changed it every 3 years, I delayed the decision a little bit because I love the Infinity JX35 car performance including the outstanding customer service I received throughout all this years while doing the car maintenance. After doing a lot of research I decided to change to this vehicle and for my surprise the car stopped itself … in the middle of a drive thru creating a chaos at the fast food lane and all the people shouting how a new car doesn't move. After the journey to move the car to the Customer Service facility, a couple of weeks to determine what happened, without a courtesy car...they communicate that for my surprise it was the transmission computer that had issues and after two months I am paying the car without having it back at home. I am concern more with the consequences of having another situation in a more risky situation when I understand that might be a safety issue... Bottom line, totally disappointed with the car, I do not recommend this brand and customer service far away from the one received by Infinity. I do not recommend this brand by any chance.
