2023 Honda Ridgeline Exterior Lighting

Auto high beams do not function correctly. They often do not turn on.

Auto High-Beams not operating as designed. The auto-high beams works very intermittently as on very non lighted dark roads they will come on and shut causing a flickering effect while driving. This is a very well known issue starting with the 2022 model year. The sensor camera for the auto-high beams are defective. This can blindness to on coming driver’s/vehicle temporarily.

Auto high beams are too sensitive and cause a safety concern as driver is not able to read street signs and visibility is impaired. Constant light changes are also distraction to oncoming traffic.

Automatic highbeam system stays on hi for oncoming vehicles, flashes oncoming vehicles, dims for road signs.

Automatic headlight auto bright does not work correctly. Sometimes does not dim to regular headlight and goes back and forth without oncoming cars also.

Automatic high beams don’t work fluidly. This is a safety issue because they are sensitive to the point where it seems you are “high beaming” oncoming traffic. This problem has been confirmed by several legitimate websites and by myself. All components are in working order. There are no warning lamps as this is the way the vehicle was intended to operate by the manufacturer. Honda let it slip past and it should not have. This problem needs further review by NHTSA for safety purposes. Thanks

With headlights set to “auto”, the high beams will intermittently turn on and off even when the headlight switch is not pushed forward to activate high beams. When headlight switch is in the high beam position and set to “auto”, the high beams will not deactivate with on coming traffic. Both scenarios could blind on coming traffic potentially causing a collision. No No Vehicle purchased used on 9/9/23 first appeared on 9/23/23.

Auto high beam headlights do not function properly. The high beams will turn on or will not turn off high beams when approaching another vehicle. High beams will turn off when the system sees another light source, such as a pole light, several hundred feet off the road. High beams will also turn on and off for no apparent reason.

Auto high beams do not work properly. When using they do not work as intended and cause an extreme danger for visibility. I nearly hit a deer at highway speeds due to failure to operate when should have been in high beam. Also they go on and off causing blinding to oncoming traffic. This is a well known problem documented by numerous honda Ridgeline owners. It needs to be fixed before more people are injured or killed as a result.

The auto headlights have not worked at all since we have owned this vehicle. I have followed the instructions to the letter to setup the auto headlight function up. Frustrated, vehicle was taken to dealer and they acknowledge a problem as they cannot fix it until Honda issues a repair solution. The truck has 560 miles on it. Problematic headlights are a real concern at night
