Description of the problem	I took my 2009 mdx into acura dealer for shudder at 35-45 mph at 68k. Service tech wrote up repair order as pcm update. They did not document the shudder complaint. Even tho i drove with service tech and then he drove also, verifying shudder. I had to go back 2nd time as pcm didn't take according to dealer and that's why shuddering continued after 1st pcm update. Now at 107k, shudder is back. Mdx out of extended warranty by 2000 miles and acura/honda refuses goodwill repair. This is my second mdx. The torque converter needed replaced in my 2003 mdx. Acura assured me when i purchased the 2009 that this known problem was resolved. Obviously the torque converter/transmission continues to be faulty. I'm wondering if the pcm update is disguising the problem pushing the mdx past the mileage warranty.
