2017 Honda Ridgeline complaints

KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEMS

A KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM PERIODICALLY COMES ON MY DASH CONSOLE SCREEN AND MY WALK AWAY AUTO LOCK HAS STOPPED WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS SYSTEM ERROR. I REPLACED THE FOB BATTERY, HAD THE SYSTEM RESET BY THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT FAILS TO FIX MY PROBLEM.

WIRE HARNESS FOR BACKUP CAMERA HAS BROKEN AT THE SPOT WHERE IT GETS PINCHED DURING USE OF TAILGATE. BACKUP CAMERA IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL.

CAR SURGES ON TAKE OFF AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. START/STOP BUTTON GIVES READING CODE OF SMART ENTRY START PROBLEM. VEHICLE DOES THIS UPON STARTING VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE CHUGS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE CITY. THE RPM TACHOMETER "BOUNCES" AS IT DOES SO. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 THINKING IT WAS FUEL PUMP ISSUE (RECALL 19-013) AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM WAS FINE. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING.

THE BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT WORKING. "BLINKED/FLASHED" A FEW TIMES WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THEN QUIT WORKING. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED HONDA TO REPORT THIS IN FEBRUARY 2020, BUT THEY SAID THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO; HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.

WIRING HARNESS TO BACK UP CAMERA HAS A KIK THAT RESULTS IN ABNORMAL WEAR AND FAILURE. BACK UP CAMERA NO LONGER WORKS. POOR ENGINEERING. OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RESOLUTION FROM HONDA

AT 70,000 MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY A 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. THE MESSAGE REMAINS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR A DAY OR TWO, DISAPPEARS, THEN REAPPEARS. THE IGNITION SYSTEM AND LOCKS CONTINUE TO WORK NORMALLY. I FEEL THAT THIS CREATES SAFETY CONCERNS - AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. *TR

REARVIEW CAMERA DID NOT WORK. WIRING WAS BROKEN BETWEEN BODY AND TAILGATE WHERE IT FLEXES. *TR

VEHICLE DISPLACE EMISSIONS SYSTEM ISSUE LIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - ADVISED BY BOTH DEALERSHIP AND INSURANCE ADJUSTER THAT THIS HAS BECOME COMMON IN THE LAST THREE YEARS SINCE A CHANGE IN MANUFACTURING AND THE USE OF A DIFFERENT KIND OF PLASTIC IN THE TANK. THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE AT THE DEALER THEN SHOWED AN ENTIRE DUMPSTER FILLED WITH REPLACED FUEL TANKS. *TR

ON 2017 RIDGELINE GETTING CODE FOR FAULTING INJECTORS AND RAIL . NO LOSS IN POWER OR SHUDDERING . THIS VEHICLE IS TOO NEW FOR THIS ISSUE

I AM EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION SHUDDER BETWEEN 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE MAKES A JERKING MOTION. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE COMPUTER FLASH DONE THAT WOULD STOP THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO FROM HERE. MY 2006 5 SPEED RIDGELINE SHIFTS FLAWLESSLY WITH OVER 250K MILES NOT SO MUCH THE 2017 6 SPEED WITH 44K. HONDA MAKES GOOD ENGINES BUT NOT TRANSMISSIONS.

EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 50,500 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON WAS THE RPM WOULD 'BOUNCE' SLIGHTLY WHILE AT AROUND 35 MPH AND AROUND 47MPH. IT WOULD OCCUR WHILE MAINTAINING THE SPEED OR GOING UP ANY INCLINE, BUT WOULD STOP IF I ACCELERATED AND MAINTAINED A HIGHER SPEED

"EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 60K MILES. SERVICE TECH SAID TO IGNORE IT IF IT GOES AWAY. IT DID, THEN IT CAME BACK ON REPEATEDLY OVER S SPAN OF MONTHS. EVENTUALLY, VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN POORLY, HESITATING ON ACCELERATION. HONDA SERVICE DIAGNOSED AS FUEL INJECTORS FAILING, PROBLEM REQUIRES TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF FUEL INJECTORS. WIFE'S 2017 PILOT HAS SAME PROBLEM, BROTHER'S 2017 PILOT HAD SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED HONDA, THEY DECLINED TO STAND BEHIND EITHER, AS THE VEHICLES ARE PAST WARRANTY ON MILEAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED CONTINUALLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SPARKING OR AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BEHIND THE CONSOLE. THE CONTACT RECORDED THE ISSUE WHILE IN PROGRESS. FOWLER HONDA PARTS 955 N INTERSTATE DR, NORMAN, OK 73069, (405) 389-3774, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,500.

EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON AT 57000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF UNTIL 1-30-2020 WHEN AT 69000 MILES EVERY LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT IN TO SAFE MODE ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO ALMOST REAREND ME. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE BAD. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM KNOWN TO HONDA SINCE THEY HAD REDESIGNED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. END RESULT: $1610.00. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMO.

ALARM GOES OFF EVERY 30-60 MIN

MY HONDA RIDGELINE IS KEPT OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME. WE RECENTLY HAD A SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN FOLLOWED BY TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE 20'S. WHEN I WENT TO THE GAS STATION A COUPLE DAYS AGO, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE FLAP THAT TAKES THE PLACE OF A GAS CAP TO PUSH OPEN. IT WAS FROZEN SHUT SOLIDLY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO SIGN OF WATER ON THE OUTSIDE THE WEATHER FINALLY GOT ABOVE FREEZING TODAY AND I MANAGE TO BREAK THE ICE BEHIND THE FILLER FLAP AND GOT THE PICTURE BELOW. AT HOME THIS WAS AN INCONVENIENCE. ON A LONG ROAD TRIP IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BIG PROBLEM. I PRESUME THIS ALSO MEANS THAT EVERY TIME IT RAINS I'M GETTING WATER IN THE GAS TANK. I HAD NO IDEA .

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BORDER LINE SUICIDAL - THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP ANYTHING REFLECTIVE ON THE ROAD AND NO SIGNS ARE REFLECTED EITHER. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPER WEAK AND I CAN'T DRIVE THIS TRUCK AT NIGHT.

WHILE BACKING UP, THE REAR CAMERA WOULD GO BLACK, OFTEN WHEN THE TRUCK BUMPED OVER THE ENTRANCE TO THE STREET. NOW THE CAMERA QUIT COMPLETELY. I FOUND BROKEN WIRES AT A PINCH POINT IN THE LOWER LEFT TAILGATE HINGE. A MUSHROOM HEAT CLAMP TO SECURE THE CABLE TO THE BODY APPEARED DAMAGED, POSSIBLY DUE TO A WIRING INSPECTION FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL?

WHILE DRIVING THE ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHTS COME ON ANIT LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHTS COME ON COLLISION AVOIDANCE LIGHTS COME ON THE LIGHTS ALL FLASH ON AND OFF AND THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT THE STEERING WHEEL IS JERKED OUT OF YOUR HAND IF YOU TRY TO TURN WHEN THE ERROR IS FLASHING -THE ERROR CODE IS NOT STORED IN THE COMPUTER TO SHOW THE DEALER THERE WAS A PROBLEM SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT

ALARM SYSTEM GOES OFF EVERY 20 MINUTES. THIS JUST STARTED TO HAPPEN. IN CALIFORNIA. VEHICLE IS PARKED STATIONARY. THE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF. BUT INTERNAL THEN EXTERNAL LIGHTS COME ON FIRST, THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF. IT IS DRY NO RAIN EXISTS. WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURED.

WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH RADIO ANTENNA AND RUNS DOWN INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR WINDOW

THIS VEHICLE COMES EQUIPPED WITH A CAPLESS FILL DOOR. UPON TRYING TO FILL UP WITH GAS, I FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO INSERT THE NOZZLE FOR FILLING. AFTER FURTHER EFFORT, THE FIRST FUEL FLAP BROKE. AFTER REMOVING THE BROKEN FLAP, I FOUND THE FUEL FILL NECK FILLED ENTIRELY WITH ICE, THUS PREVENTING INWARD MOVEMENT OF THE FLAP. I WAS UNABLE TO FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL AS A RESULT. VEHICLE IS A 2017 WITH 50,000 MILES.

FUEL TANK NECKLINE FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER, AND YOU CAN'T PUT FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE COLD, THE NECKLINE FREEZES AND YOU CANNOT KNOCK IT LOSE ETC TO GET FUEL...SOMEONE COULD POTENTIALLY FREEZE TO DEATH!!

BRAKING FROM 60 MPH FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT. ADEQUATE TIME AND SPACE TO PERFORM BRAKING PROCEDURE. SMOOTH AND EVEN BRAKING FROM 60MPH TO APPROX. 5MPH. AT THAT POINT EVEN WITH BOTH FEET APPLYING PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL, MY VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP. HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AT LIGHT , NO DAMAGE TO HER VEHICLE. BUMPER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROX. 5MPH. VEHICLE I HIT WAS STATIONARY. HAPPENED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT ON 4 LANE LIMITED ACCESS HWY IN NORTHERN GA. RURAL AREA. DUE TO RELATIVELY MINOR DAMAGE TO MY BUMPER AND NO DAMAGE TO OTHER PERSON VEHICLE, DRIVER OF VEHICLE I HIT DID NOT WANT TO WAIT TO FILE POLICE REPORT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NO ONE INJURED. BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM. DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WAS $1,540.40 FOR FRONT BUMPERS, DAMAGED FOG LIGHT, PAINT REPAIR. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE IDEAL!

DIAMETER OF SAFETY BAR FOR CHILD SEAT HOOK TO BIG TO ATTACH HOOK ON A 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE

WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE WOULD BECOME JERKY UP TO AROUND 40 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS POOR TRANSMISSION FLUID AND AN UPDATE ON SOFTWARE. THIS COST ME $210!

THE TRUCK VIBRATES, SHUDDERS, AND RUMBLE WHEN SPEED HITS 44, 66, 68, 70, 72 MPH UPON LIGHT ACCELERATION/PUSH OF THE PEDAL. THE EXPERIENCE IS SIMILAR OR EXACTLY LIKE DRIVING OVER THE EMERGENCY RUMBLE STRIP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT ONLY YOU'RE NOT. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM NOR FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER THE MECHANIC WITNESSED THE VIBRATION AND SHUDERRING IN THE TEST DRIVE.

VEHICLE HAS UNDER 24,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATES TO THE POINT OF DISTORTING THE VISION / VIEW FROM THE MIRROR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ON PAVED CITY STREETS AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON PAVED HIGHWAYS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO CROP UP MOSTLY WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE, BUT THE VEHICLE IS IN FLORIDA WHERE HIGH OUTSIDE TEMPS ARE COMMON AND OFTEN YEAR ROUND. OTHER HONDA RIDGELINE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE VIA ONLINE CHAT GROUPS / FORUMS. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA USA BUT NEVER GOT A RESPONSE OR CALL BACK. AT THE LEAST, THIS IS AN ANNOYANCE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA. AT WORST, IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS VISIBILITY / SAFETY ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE DECELERATES IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT WARNING TO LIMP MODE. ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ON THE DASH AND THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS DEAD. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE OVER 10 MPH. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO THROTTLE UP THE VEHICLE I.E. SUCH AS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY FROM AN OFF RAMP. THE SITUATION WILL OCCUR IN NORMAL CITY DRIVING AS WELL. WHEN THE VEHICLE DECELERATES IT IS IMMEDIATE AND WILL NOT RECOVER. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS YOU IMMEDIATELY BECOME A ENCUMBRANCE TO TRAFFIC FLOW AND HAVE NO MEANS OF GETTING OUT OF THE WAY. THIS IMMEDIATE DECELERATION IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT IS FRIGHTENING AS THE DRIVER. TO DATE, HONDA HAS NO ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE INVESTED SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN DIAGNOSTICS AND THE SISTER TRUCK TO THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF HONDA ENGINEERS FOR A MONTH WITH NO RESOLUTION. AS WE OWN SIX OF THESE VEHICLES I HAVE PARKED THEM ALL FOR THE SAFETY OF MY COWORKERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN MY OPINION THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH NO RESOLUTION REQUIRES AND IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FORM THE OEM.

DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH, HEARD A SLIGHT POP, TRUCK LOST POWER AND FELT LIKE THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED. ALL THE DIAGNOSTIC ICONS LIT, INCLUDING A CHIME. DISPLAY WENT THROUGH EACH PROBLEM "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM" "TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM" "POWER STEERING SYSTME (ESP) PROBLEM" AND SEVERAL OTHERS. ENGINE DIDN'T TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME ABOUT A MILE AWAY.

TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING VIOLENTLY WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STICKING IN GEARS UNDER VERY LIGHT OR NORMAL ACCELERATION, HOLDING RPMS TO 4000 BEFORE SHIFTING UP THEN SLAMMING INTO GEAR, SLUGGISH TO START OFF THE LINE.

MY PROBLEM WAS WITH THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW GLASS. THE OTHER MORNING I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE ABOUT HALF A BLOCK. I THOUGHT THAT I HEARD A SLIGHT AIR NOISE LIKE THE REAR WINDOW MAY HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY OPEN. WHEN I TOUCHED THE RAISE FUNCTION FOR THE REAR WINDOWS THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW EXPLODED INWARD MAKING A LOUD NOISE THROWING GLASS FRAGMENTS ACROSS THE BACK SEAT, I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 15 MPH ON A CITY STREET. IT WAS ABOUT 9 AM WITH TEMPS IN UPPER 60'S. I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE AND DID NOT LOOK AT THE WINDOW BEFORE IT BURST. I CLEANED UP MOST OF THE GLASS AND THERE WAS NO STONE OR OBJECT IN THE CAR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THROWN AT THE WINDOW. IT WAS SUNDAY AND I WAS ABLE TO DROP THE CAR AT MY HONDA DEALER. I WISH I HAD TAKEN PHOTOS BUT DID NOT THINK OF IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO DAPHENE HONDA (9871 JUSTINA AVE, DAPHNE, AL 36526, (251) 202-4557) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW SUN ROOF NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED TODAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,200. *BF *AS

MY COMPANY OWNS SIX (6) 2017 HONDA RIDGELINES. EACH OF HTE TRUCKS HAS EXPERIENCED A FUEL RELATED ISSUE WHERE THE TRUCK STOPS IN TRAFFIC UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL DASH LIGHTS AND WARNINGS ILLUMINATE AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT TAKE FUEL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED. TO DATE, HONDA HAS ONLY ACKNOWLEDGED MY COMPLAINT WITH NO RESOLUTION

TRUCK DECELERATES WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT TAKE FUEL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED.

TRUCK RAPIDLY DECELERATES AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WILL NOT TAKE FUEL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED.ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATE AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE

AT AROUND 30K MILES THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A THUMPING SOUND FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND PASSING OVER ANY UNEVEN SURFACE ON THE ROAD. THE SOUND SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL HITS A BUMP AND NOT THE RIGHT WHEEL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER TWICE AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT HEAR THE NOISE OR RECREATE IT AND THAT ALL COMPONENTS WHERE WORKING CORRECTLY. I EVEN ROAD WITH THE TECH TO SHOW THEM THE SOUND AND THEY REPORTED AFTERWARDS THAT THE SOUNDS WAS GONE WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT 4 TIMES BEFORE I PICKED IT UP. DRIVING OUT FROM THE DEALER, THE SOUND WAS STILL THERE. THEY TOLD ME TO LET IT GET WORSE SO THEY CAN FIND IT EASIER AND DIAGNOSE IT. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSING OVER CONSECUTIVE AND SMALL BUMPS. THE CAR NOW SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD CAR WITH STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE DASH WILL COME ON AND CYCLE THROUGH STATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EACH SYSTEM. THE INDICATORS WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL I SHUTDOWN AND RESTART THE TRUCK. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST 2 DAYS.

ONE TIME, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WIPER ON AT ALL ON THE HIGH WAY. LATELY, WIPERS STOP AT THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD SO I HAD TO STOP AND RESTART IT. I TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY FAILED TO DUPLICATE MY PROBLEMS. BUT, I KNEW THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THIS PROBLEMS.

CORRECTION TO LAST REPORT. PLEASE IGNORE THE APRIL 26TH POST. SORRY FOR THE TYPOS AND WRONG WORDS.. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, WARNING LIGHTS AND ALERTS FLASHINF. WAS ABLE TO DRIFT VEHICLE TO SHOULDER (BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION, THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR). TOOK A PIC OF DASHBOARD, THEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF. TRIED RESTARTING A COUPLE OF TIMES AND POWER LOSS WAS STILL THERE. WAITED 10 MINUTES RESTARTED POWER BACK, BUT WARNING LIGHTS STILL FLASHING. MADE IT OFF FREEWAY, TOOK A VIDEO, CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND REPORTED ISSUE. DECLINED TOW, MADE MY APPT. AND WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME. I AM NOW AT THE DEALER. AGAIN THIS IT'S THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE FIRST WAS 6 MONTHS AND 7000 MILES AGO. IN FACT IT EXACTLY 6 MONTHS TO THE MINUTE IT OCCURRED. TOO MANY COINCIDENCES WITH THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. DEALER HAS SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WAS AN "ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION CONNECTOR". I'LL WAIT AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. PLEASE IGNORE THE APRIL 26TH POST

THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, WASTING LIGHTS AND ALLEYS FLAGGING. WAS ABLE TO DRIFT VEHICLE TO SHOULDER (BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION, THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR). TOOK A PIC OF DASHBOARD, THEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF. TRIED RESTARTING A COUPLE OF TIMES AND POWER LOSS WAS STILL THERE. WAITED 10 MINUTES RESTARTED POWER BACK, BUT EATING LIGHTS STILL FLASHING. MADE IT OFF FREEWAY, TOOK A VIDEO, CALLED JOBS ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND TROTTED ISSUE. DECLINED TOW, MADE MY APPT. AND WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME. I AM NOW AT THE DEALER. AGAIN THIS IT'S THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE FIRST WAS 6 MONTHS AND 7000 MILES AGO.

ICE FORMED BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER FLAPS OF THE CAPLESS FUEL FILLER SYSTEM. I HAD TO BREAK THE OUTER FLAP TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE FLAPS. WITH THE OUTER FLAP REMOVED, I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE ICE AND FINALLY REFUEL THE RIDGELINE. I WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION IN PLAINFIELD INDIANA, 163 MILES FROM HOME.

MY HONDA RIDGELINE STARTS TO DO A RARE THINGS : LIKE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD,THE ALARM ACTIVED MANY TIMES AND A WEEK LATER THERE WERE WATER UNDER THE BACK SEATS. I TOOK IT TO THE DELER AND THEY TOOK THE ALARM OUT AND DIDN'T FIND THE LEAK SO MY RIDGELINE STILL THERE FOR ALMOST ONE MONTH AND L DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE...L DON'T NOT WHAT TO DO ... THANK YOU

WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES NORMALLY. THE REAR BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCKED AND I SKIDDED ABOUT 2 FEET ON WET PAVEMENT, NARROWLY MISSING A REAR END COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. A DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT FLASHED BUT WENT OFF SO QUICKLY I COULDN'T IDENTIFY WHICH ONE IT WAS. FROM THE LOCATION ,I BELIEVE IT WAS EITHER THE ABS OR VSA WARNING LIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE OR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. "CUSTOMER STATES BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. COULD NOT REPRODUCE CONCERN AT THIS TIME. NO CODES STORED IN PCM OR BRAKING SYSTEM." AS YET THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED. HOWEVER, WHEN I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE, I FOUND NHSTA RECALL REPORT 16V-888 WHICH DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM EXACTLY AS IT OCCURRED, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE RECALL.

ON FEBRUARY 4TH, 2019, I PARALLEL PARKED MY VEHICLE AT 9AM ON THE STREET. AT ABOUT 4PM THAT DAY, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED ME THAT MY 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE WAS ON FIRE. MY RIDGELINE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED ON THE STREET, AND IT WAS A RAINY DAY. THE FIRE FIGHTER TOLD ME THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD IN THE ENGINE AREA. THE RIDGELINE WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HOPES OF FINDING THE CAUSE OF THE SPONTANEOUS FIRE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DID NOT EVEN OPEN THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE SPONTANEOUS FIRE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE SPONTANEOUS FIRE CAN HARM AND POTENTIALLY KILL PEOPLE INSIDE OR AROUND THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS HARM NEARBY BUILDINGS. THIS IS ALSO NOT THE FIRST 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE TO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE.

THIS CAR HAS REALLY SPONGY BRAKES. I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT LOOK AT IT, THEY SAID THEY WERE COMPARABLE TO THE OTHER ONES. PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR FAIRLY EASILY AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT WILL EMERGENCY STOP. EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE DRIVEN TYPICALLY HAS NO MORE THAN 2 INCHES OF PEDAL TRAVEL.

AT THE PRECISE MOMENT THE ODOMETER HIT 12000 MILES, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND ROLLING LIST OF PROBLEMS, INVOLVING, HILL CONTROL, POWER STEERING, ETC.. CAME ON. EVEN AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES THE CONDITION DID NOT CHANGE. HONDA HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER A DAY THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM EXCEPT TO SAY IT WAS A LOW VOLTAGE ISSUE.. SEEMED TO COINCIDENTAL THAT IT HAPPENED AT EXACTLY 12000 MILES AND I STATED AS MUCH. THEY RESET EVERYTHING AND IT HAS BEEN OK FOR LAST 150 MILES.

JUDDERING WHILE GOING 32-39MPH. MOST OBVIOUS WHILE TAKING A LOOPING EXIT RAMP GOING UPHIL AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN 35MPH. IT ALSO APPEARED ON AND OFF WHILE GOING UPHILL ANYWHERE FROM 20-50MPH. DURING THIS TIME IT WAS ALSO HAVING SHIFTING ISSUES, NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR, ALONG WITH JUDDERING. I HAD PREVIOUSLY GONE IN FOR A NOISY TRANSMISSION, AND THEY DID THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPDATE. THEN AFTER THIS ISSUE AROSE, THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE.
