My 09 Acura RL was just in for service regarding a vibrating noise on turns and when shifting. On and off. Auto transmission. A recall indicated software update. Tech did mention if heard noise again may be torque converter. Way home and vibration noise is back. Is vehicle safe to drive until I get back to dealer next Saturday? Thank you and appreciate any help you could provide.

Shouldn't be any problem to drive but try not to do abrupt hard accelerations.

Oh, thank you so much for a quick response! Your advise is greatly appreciated. Hard to not do the abruptly hard accelerations here in Tampa Bay, but I have had too do a few of them lately. I'll be more aware now till I can get back to dealer service.
Aloha day your way!
Sincerely,
Joni
