The failure reverted the car to FWD and became very easy to lose traction in anything but ideal road conditions.  There were no signs of this failure.  No warning lights, no indication on the AWD power distribution monitor, and no sounds or other indications.  I rigorously followed all maintenance schedules and performed all regularly scheduled maintenance at the Acura dealership.  There have been numerous times when I am attempting to accelerate from a stop while turning onto a busy road where the unexpected loss in traction resulted in me nearly causing an accident.  I took in my vehicle for service on 5/22/26 and they confirmed the issue is the transfer case spline failure as noted by many other Acura SH-AWD vehicles with the active NHTSA investigation.  I would like to add my complaint to that filing and highlight the insidious danger that comes with the failure when the vehicle suddenly does not perform as expected.   Given that my vehicle was barely behind the powertrain warranty period when the failure occured, I am now expected to cover an enormous bill that covers the replacement of the transmission and transfer case.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"ACURA","productModel":"MDX","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
