2017 MDX transmission safety nightmare

My brand new MDX almost killed me yesterday. It drove jerky from day one. It is not just "me getting used to a 9-speed transmission" like the dealer is telling me. It does shift jerky and frequently slows down independent of what I am doing on the gas or brake. Will occasionally jerk strongly and repeatedly like it is about to stall when driving 35mph for several miles with no need for gears to shift at all. I took it back to dealer within 2-3 weeks of purchase. They claimed could find nothing wrong. It continued as before and before I could get back to the dealer a week or so later this happened: Stuck in stop and go highway traffic for half hour. Every press on the gas was herky jerky but suddenly when traffic finally started to move freely, a press on the gas produced nothing but RPM's revving. I took my foot off the gas and tried again 2-3 times. I put on my flashers and barely rolled to the shoulder through the swerving traffic. I turned off the car and restarted to make my way jerkily back home. Second trip to dealer is so far producing the same bs that they can find no problem. I just found several stories online of same problem. Unless they fix this I am not driving this death machine.

Acura MDX 2017 Jerky and Choking transmission

Acura MDX 2017 transmission chokes/stalls, jerks off while starting from STOP to GO. Cars fly by and at times I have been honked from behind. My transmission got a code of p287a. David McDavid Acura Plano just reset the code and told me everything is fine. But I am still experiencing the same hell with this transmission and they say they cannot do anything as their diagnostic run didn't show the code again. So, I guess I am just in a state of hallucination. Acura says that I have to work with the Plano McDavid Acura dealer. They are also of no help. I will never recommend this dealer or Acura to any of my friends. Stay away from them.

This is a great car for the price. This is my third MDX since 2001 and I put many miles on a car. With regular maintenance, this car can go at least 200.000. A very stylish ride.
