I am not sure this is the correct area to raise this concern. I had a 2017 Honda Ridgeline and bought a Tonneau Cover for it. I was informed it had a recall but did not have a chance to repair it. Fast forward the Tonneau cover is now on my 2022 Ridgeline but I am being told that the recall does not cover a 2022 Ridgeline. I tried to argue that the Accessory was recalled not the model year of the truck. The vehicle has nothing to do with the recall and repair to the Accessory. I have not had any luck getting my Tonneau cover repaired so I am raising this to this organization since in my opinion the recall should not have been issued with the assumption that people buy the cover new when they buy a new truck. Open to your feedback if you agree or disagree with me.
Auto magic high beam head lights. These do not work EVER but are of part the sales persons spew on Honda safety features.
After pulling into my son's driveway that only has a slight downward grade, I put my Honda Ridgeline into park, shutoff the engine and then exited the vehicle. I took only a step by the driver's side mirror when the vehicle rolled back about six inches. I immediately got back into the vehicle and started it up to make sure it was in park. Both indicators on the dash and the center consol button showed the vehicle was in park. I then set the emergency brake. This incident was reported to my dealer on 2/15/24. They found no codes stored and no concerns with the transmission. They stated" advised customer vehicle may roll back until the parking brake pawl engages. This is normal operation of the transmission."
When the truck is idling, I smell fumes of exhaust and occasionally fuel. These fumes are more pronounced in the area of the front passenger seat. I haven't noticed any visual leaks from the fuel system.
I was driving back from Colorado celebrating my best friend from childhood having his first wedding. When the moonroof exploded while on was driving along I-70 East, I was about 5 miles away from my hotel in Columbia, MO. This is my halfway point on my long road trip out to Denver, CO. The loud noise startled me, as I was traveling 75 mph eastbound on the interstate. I checked all of mirrors and surroundings, I didn’t see anything that happened at that time. So, I continued to my hotel 5 miles up the road. I got to my hotel and parked in the parking lot. As I got out of the vehicle, I close the door and hear a noise that is not normal for a typical door close. I opened and shut the door a few more times, then I walked around the vehicle to see if there was any damage from the loud noise that I heard while driving along I-70. I look all around the vehicle, then finally I notice the glass on the moonroof didn’t look right. This is when I noticed that the moonroof had shattered. So, I use my cooler that I brought with me for the trip and look at the moonroof at a better viewing angle. I see that the glass has shattered. This seemed very unusual since I did not see any dents or scratches from any possible object that could have caused this. At this moment I reflected about my time driving on I-70 when that loud noise occurred moments earlier. The noise sounded like a gun shot that was very close by. I remember that I was not near any cars close to me, and there was no underpass nearby when the noise happened. The weather was partly cloudy, and the temperature was around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The time that is happened was about 7:30 PM Central Time. THANKFULLY, THE SLIDER WAS CLOSED, SO THE GLASS DID NOT INJURE ME, BUT COULD HAVE INJURED ME IF IT WAS OPEN. It was a scary ordeal.
2022 Ridgeline is only a few months old. After driving one day for ~100 miles on interstate, then exiting interstate to get on on-ramp going in other direction, the vehicle suddenly displayed a flashing "check engine" light, has noticeably reduced power, and an odd-sounding engine. I was able to slowly drive to a nearby gas station where I restarted the vehicle and the symptoms went away. I had my local Honda dealer look at the vehicle and they were unable to find any error codes. Their response was essentially "no code, no problem" and advised me to drive it until something goes wrong again, and shows something they will diagnose. This vehicle has less than 8,000 total miles and has had its initial service done by Honda dealer, as well as another bill of health when I just took it in for this engine issue. I'm reporting this case in particular because I'm very concerned that this will happen while driving on the highway and be a serious safety issue with the drastically reduced power. Perhaps most importantly, I am reporting this because there are forums full of other people with newer Honda Ridgelines experiencing the exact same issue - repeatedly - without any acknowledgement from Honda.
Honda Wireless Charger does not work. I took it to the dealer, and the dealer confirmed it was not working and that Honda knows that this is an issue. This truck was bought new from the dealer and Honda knew this is an issue.
The passenger door window exploded while parked in the shade.. my wife happened to be walking near the truck at the time it exploded and shattered no rock bee bees nothing struck the window..
