Hi, Has anyone had to resolve an issue with vibrations felt through the steering wheel when driving consistently at 25-30 mph?

To reproduce, i put the Car in D, get up to speed at about 27mph, and sit at 27mph w/ light throttle, just enough to maintain the speed. The rpms then fall slightly, seem to settle at around 1100 or so to maintain 27mph. once the rpms settle, their is a pronounced vibration that can be felt up the steering column - it even makes the keys in the ignition shake, and you can feel the vibrations in the drivers seat and steering wheel.

It almost feels like on a manual trans, when in too low a gear and the engine is bogging.

2011 Rdx FWD, 37k miles, original owner.

Thanks.

 

Bump - anyone have this issue? any ideas?

 

Hi, my '08 does the same thing. I've taken it in repeatedly, and got the 'can't duplicate' response so many times. I finally took one of the techs on a test drive where it did it for him. Their fix was a transmission 'service' which included fresh transmission fluid (I think it was about $250), and it solved the problem for about a year. It's come back now, so I have to pop for the service again.

 

D/side drive shaft!

 

DRR98, did you have it on your RDX, and find that the drive shaft was the problem? My extended warranty ends in less than a year and I'm getting nervous about these problems, which they 'can't duplicate.' Once the warranty ends I'm sure that, all of a sudden, the problem will be duplicated, and a paid solution come available!

 

Had a similar problem with my '08 Rdx at around 70k miles. Needed a drive shaft replaced $720 at dealer!

 

Do you know what was the problem? U-joint worn, drive shaft bent/ damaged, other? I don't understand why the drive-shaft itself would require replacement, unless it was damaged. U-joints do wear, but they can be replaced individually.

 

I replaced both L & R drive shaft OEM 150.00 each.

 

Did this get rid of the problem?

 

Changing it solve the problem
