Been to the dealer about six times now and still no fix. They've replaced all the engine mounts and serviced the transmission multiple times. Luckily all this has been covered by the manufacturer's warranty. But the engine still makes this strange grinding sound and vibration around 1900 RPMs. Originally it seemed to do it consistently in third gear. But now it does it in 4th and sometimes 5th as well. The deanship thinks it has something to do with the electronic engine mounts, but replacing those didn't do much to solve the problem. I've also noticed that the vibration/grinding sound is intermittent. On cooler days when the temperature is below 60 degrees outside or if it's rainy/snowy the sound and vibration all but disappear. My brother owns the exact same Ridgeline as me, only in white, and the issue is not present.
