Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2011 Honda Pilot

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Honda Pilot. While accelerating, the vehicle vibrated violently without warning. Crown motors (555 cypress Ave, redding, CA 96001, (530) 241-4321) repaired the transmission switch, but the failure recurred. The dealer informed the contact that the torque converter needed to be repaired. The contact scheduled an appointment to have the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.

Purchased 2011 Honda Pilot ex-l new in mid-2010. For the past several months, we felt a shudder in the transmission at/around 25 mph when accelerating lightly from a full stop. Got progressively worse over time; even passengers noticed it. Car is just under 5. 5 years old with 72k miles on it. Dealer checked, said the torque converter had failed and would cost $1,900 to replace. Stated the new t/c had a 'fix' that corrected an earlier, known problem?! after replacing the transmission and/or torque converter on my 2000 Acura tl three times and once on two previous Honda preludes, I said I'd had enough with Honda and demanded for it be repaired for free. I've seen a plethora of complaints on-line about 2009-2011 Pilots and odyssey transmissions and t/c's so Honda obviously hasn't fixed the transmission problems that plagued earlier models, including tl's, accords and crv's. We finally settled on $500 but this will be my last Honda/Acura product. Hellotoyota/Lexus and Mazda!.
