What is your question?
2012 Acura MDX So, got the tires balanced and brake rotors and pads replaced to isolate the issue. My car vibrates at different speeds and at different instances: Under Acceleration: Car does not vibrate if I'm pulling more than 2,500 RPM consistently Coasting (Foot off the pedal): Entire car shudders or vibrates loudly between 30-40 mph, as you can imagine it's very annoying since inner-city speed limits are such. Coasting (Low speed): Minimal vibration, but vibrates while turning. Car vibration reduces when I cross 60mph and eventually is very minimal at 70mph Car usually vibrates more when coasting. No other problems with the car. Is it ok to drive? Should I seek correction right away?
How long has your 2012 Acura MDX had this problem?

Hello, my gut feeling is that you could have some vibration from the torque converter of the transmission. Have you serviced your fluid lately? It should be served every time the "minder 3" indicator comes on, which is every 30,000 - 40,000 miles. If you tow, you should do it promptly every 30,000 miles, at least. The fluid breaking down can reduce the performance of the torque converter. Doing 3 drain and fills of the transmission will refresh most of the fluid (you cannot drain all the fluid, just 3-4 quarts at a time). Drive the vehicle a bit in between transmission services to circulate new and old fluid. This is merely a guess; diagnostic tools can capture and record torque converter performance and confirm this as the root cause if it's indeed the case. In some extreme cases, the converter will need to be replaced.
