My 2017 platinum shudders between 20-30mph. Was told by dealer it was the torque converter and is "normal"... not sure I buy that.

Not normal at all. Most likely you will need a new valve body. Take it in as soon as possible. A "judder" code should show up when they hook it up to the computer. They replaced mine last summer and it's been fine ever since.

Interesting. The one I drove didn't shudder but I was a bit jerky on and off the throttle at that speed.
