2017 Acura RDX 4dr SUV

279-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

16430 mi Vehicle has been to the dealer 8 times since Feb/2018 to try and fix vibration issue. Vehicle has the v6 engine with the Variable Cylinder Management system. Vibration seems to start when engine goes from 6 cylinders operating to 3. Traveling ar highway speeds between 105-115km/hr it is constant and quite noticeable. The latest fix was replacing the tires as they thought they were the issue,that didn't help. Booked back into the shop July 19 and they suggested possible engine mounts, shaft or shaft bearings. It appears that this is an issue with a number of Honda vehicles with the v6 with the VCM system. 
17360 mi [another attempt to fix vibration] 
2000 mi Fuel smell after filling gas tank followed by OBDII Codes for evaporative pollution control small leak and then large leak.
