It also used the reaction arm on the stator as in the N360/N600 to increase hydraulic pressure.
Those aren’t cheap vehicles, I would be hesitant to chase those owners off.Like Toyota, they will keep coming back – it takes a long time to sully a reputation in the auto industry (look how long GM crapped on their customers before it caught up with them).
“During assembly, the transmission end cover sealing gasket gets torn,” the automaker states in …
No. We do change our fluids, etc.I do run into all these 3800 GM fans/family who scream Merica all day long but also don’t disclose they’ve replaced all 4 power window motors, transmission issues, lower intake manifolds, etc. What this has to do with Takata, I don’t know. A new Honda 6-speed automatic transmission (AT) for the MDX has been developed with the aims of enhancing fuel economy, raising efficiency, and achieving greater compactness.
2006 Honda Ridgeline; 2006 Honda Pilot; 2007 Honda Odyssey; 2007 Acura MDX; 2009 Acura TL; See also.
Acura’s biggest problem is KIAs and Hyundais are more attractive now.I don’t know where all the hate comes from.
Hard to believe this issue is still occurring after all these years. As has been written ad nauseum by TTAC staffers, passenger car transmissions in minivans put them to the test as soon as a minivan is used as a — minivan, and not just for carrying mom and the kidlets to soccer practice and back.Honda and Chrysler, in particular, have been more fragile than other makers (defunct minivan makes excluded). To remedy the issue, the manufacturer will replace the dodgy gasket.After reaching a U.S. post-recession sales high in 2015, Acura’s annual sales tally has dropped considerably.
The 6 speed is a Honda developed transmission.Great tranny, no issues. Surprise! My 99 Accord V6 traded at 253k with no transmission issues. I saw enough ads for V6 Hondas stating the transmission had ben replaced or that the car was being sold cheap due to a bad transmission. The new design first entered service in the 2005 Acura RL. If you go Touring or Elite big mistake.
"Rare Rides: This 1972 Maserati Mexico Is Actually From Spain""Real Fake News: Donald Trump and Where Japanese Manufacturers Choose to Build Their Cars" All Ridgeline models use a smooth and efficient 6-speed automatic transmission. (ref Honda Worldwide) It is not now clear if the lockup function made it into production; it was not fitted to the N600AT for Europe.
Owners will be notified by the manufacturer to take their vehicles back for a checkup. It was initially announced in Europe as an automatic as the staff at Honda in Europe assumed that it would like the N600 to be fully automatic. Without Spark Plug Controlled Compression Ignition or SPCCI, it wouldn’t work.Was recently looking for a used car for my wife and a V6 was a requirement. Never had a problem.Well…my friend gave up on their 5 speed Odyssey after the third transmission failed, and I believe that unit was designed by Honda as well.Carrera, with more than a million miles on my cars over the years, I’ve only had one issue with a transmission, ever.
Otherwise, Toyota is currently the only game in town.Enjoy your Toyota recalls…or are they past that claiming the recall crown ever other year? That is found with the LX, Ex, EX-L Pilot. However, if it does prove suspect, the vehicle will receive a bevy of new parts — among them, a transmission, transmission warmer, radiator, thermostat, coolant hoses, coolant reserve tank, and ECT sensor O-rings.It’s possible owners will also find themselves driving away with a new short block and cylinder head, plus the transmission and coolant trappings.This isn’t the only issue to strike nine-speed Honda and Acura models.
Some spend 1000s on repairs. Now discuss among yourselves.I also don’t like how CVTs need to simulate gears. If you have the credit to get a good lease rate and don’t really need to get anywhere, drive what you want. Much worse in fact, especially when you consider all the other issues they tend to have aside from their glass trans.I don’t know man.
Totally different than the 8 speed ZF which is great. In a series of service bulletins issued in September, the automaker warns of transmission end cover leaks on the 2015-2017 TLX, 2016-2017 MDX, 2016-2017 Pilot, and 2018 Honda Odyssey.“During assembly, the transmission end cover sealing gasket gets torn,” the automaker states in its bulletin.
All heavier vehicles eventually moved to this design in the following years until it was ultimately replaced by the H6, which also uses four shafts. This torque converter was nominally about 7in.
