Accord EX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,000 miles

I've had a Honda Accord with transmission issue before so I was familiar with torque converter noise and vibration. It almost sounds like a more muted sound of running over a grated part of road to keep you from running off the road. It happens at multiple speeds but really notice a lot at around 35. Took it to the dealer multiple times. They said everything is working as designed, until Sept 16 and they said there is a software update in progress. The transmission fluid is running too hot and is breaking down too quickly. Temporary fix is to drain and fill trans fluid twice. It improved it some but didn't completely fix it. It's 5 months later and the software update is still not ready! Doubt that a software update will fix it anyway.
