Driving home from the dealer in a brand new 2012 honda pilot, 4wd, ex-l w/res on 6/26/12. At approximately 62 to 65 MPH the transmission is lurching as it appears to be shifting back and forth between 4th and 5th gear. This causes a jerking motion and can be felt in the steering. Took vehicle back to dealer on 6/28/12 and a honda technician drove the vehicle as I was in the passenger seat. The technician confirmed the issue and indicated it was exactly as I had described. He says this is a known problem but there is no fix. He said it's due to the torque converter. He said it is the same on the odyssey models but honda released some software updates but they weren't successful. He said if it happens just speed up or slow down (he really said this). He said if honda releases any software updates they'll contact me. Wow.
