I took my vehicle to the Honda dealership to have a safety recall repaired. Following the repair, the alarm started intermittently going off. Before the repair, the vehicle was running well. I did not know what the alarm sounded like before the recall repair. After they checked the vehicle, I was hit with a $1500 repair bill to replace the Keyless Control Unit. This part is what is causing the issue. Now I am left with no recourse. I called Honda corporate, and they told me that they couldn't help me. I am very disappointed because I am a long-time Honda owner and apprantly the quality is not there anymore.

Was stopped at a traffic light and idle-stop had engaged. Released brake and vehicle failed to restart. Multiple attempts to restart before it actually started. Many dash indicators were lit, but I was too frantic to notice which. Was in heavy traffic and it was very unsettling. Only time this has happened, but I feel like it will repeat. Have not been to dealer, but I will.

The wireless charging pad does not work properly. I’ve tested with 3 different Apple iPhones and they will start to charge for a few seconds, then it will stop changing. Sometimes it will resume charging for a few seconds and then stop again. I’ve seen videos online of others who are experiencing the same issue with both 2021 and 2022 Honda vehicles (issue not exclusive to the Ridgeline).

Factory wireless charger. Available for inspection upon request. Unsafe conditions created when wireless charging failed during a drive causing driver to be distracted by misbehaving equipment. Trying to readjust phone was distracting. Problem reproduced at dealer. Dealer declined to repair/replace equipment. Dealer advised iPhone 12 mini silicone case was interfering with the charging. Removed case, but bare phone did not resolve the issue. Replaced phone with brand new iPhone 13. New phone exhibits same behavior. Charger charges for a few seconds, then stops and led indicator blinks. Then charges for a few seconds, and fails again. iPhone started to get real hot so I turned off the wireless charger.
