Electrical System · reported Jun 27, 2026

Monday, June 30th, 2025, while driving on highway trip out of state, the vehicle made severe explosion noise, and sounded like I was dragging something metal under the vehicle for approx 30 seconds. After slowing the vehicle, I confirmed there was nothing under the car and the car seemed to be driving fine. There was zero warning light displaying any type of part failure or warning light addressing anything needed attention. In hindsight, I realize that this is when the transmission transfer case malfunctioned. Entire time since I've had the brand new, premium vehicle the car has had routine…

Power Train · reported Jun 17, 2026

The transfer case on my 2024 Acura MDX Type S failed with under 30,000 miles. I believe there's a public investigation from the NHTSA, I wanted to ensure my case was reported.
