2024 Acura MDX Type S problems

“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, healthy maintence from the dealership and also Christian Brothers Automotive when the dealership service center was under construction. At no point, did the dealership bring this issue to my attention, despite a few multipoint inspections. Once my vehicle was out of warranty, the dealership brought the internal malfunction of the transmission transfer case to my knowledge on June 1, 2026. I am a high mileage driver, and this part malfunctioned (unbeknownst to me) while I was still under warranty, however without the warning light, I was ignorant to what actually occurred.…”
