2 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2017

Have noticed a shudder for quite some time when accelerating around the 40 mph point and also during deceleration around the 40 mph point, seems to be a grinding as the automatic gears are changing, I reported this to dealer at last two regular maintenance, the first time they didn't find issues, second time they explained it was the "torque converter" and would be $2250 to repair and would need to leave the vehicle while they order parts and replace. I opted to not repair at this time as I wanted to research the issue. I am seeing lots of complaints about this issue in the Honda Pilots. Of course the warranty expired end of last year (08/2016).
