This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
We bought this car in October and have had it back to dealership twice. The second time it was there over a month. Same complaint-- car seems to shudder when trying to accelerate after reaching speeds of at least 50 mph and after taking foot off accelerator. Same problem occurs with cruise on and in hilly terrain. Between 50 mph and 70 mph. Response first time was software issue. Response second time was "it is within Honda specs". We have owned 3 Accords, one Civic, two Odysseys, two Honda Acuras, as well as this Pilot and have always been pleased. I have two big concerns. One is the problem stated and the other is the attitude from the dealer that it is "within specs". I have been told that Honda is aware and working on a fix. Meanwhile we have to deal with this shudder.

Into the second day of thirty day road trip in new Honda Pilot with less than 6000 miles on it and start experiencing a moderate shudder at cruising speed, it would come and go and at the time I thought the torque converter or transmission were fixing to go out. Found a Honda dealership in Garden City Kansas and the service tech had a new Pilot and had experienced the same problem. Took me right in did the software update fixed the problem. Thanks Alphonso ! Rest of trip 8000 miles and no problems.
