2017 RDX Tech pkg AWD - powertrain shuddering noise / vibration
 

Hi,

I have the above vehicle with a shuddering noise & slight vibration felt on the gas pedal. I felt it most at 30 - 40 mph and under 2500 RPM. It only has 25k miles on it. Car is driven a mix of town (70%) and highway (30%). Took it in to the dealership and they replaced the tranny fluid.
Has anyone else experienced this on their RDX? At first I though it was the bearing or CV joint but they said all that checks out fine.

I thought the tranny fluid would to be covered under the warranty since the car is young but they said it is regular maintenance at 30k miles and it cost me 130$.
How often is the tranny fluid supposed to be changed according to the manufacturer?
After tranny fluid was changed I put about 20 miles on it and it does feel a bit smoother.

Thanks!

Here's some threads which may help...worked for myself and others.
