2017 HONDA RIDGELINE Complaints

This is a problematic issue for many Honda Ridgeline owner. The the instrument panel light flicker when the car is park and alarm will sound for no particular reason. when this happen, sometime I am not able to start the car. (if possible please below link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DClnLAj7G8I I wonder what would happen if this issue happen while the vehicle is in motion. I spoke to Honda and notify them about this issue. Note: base on my research, this problem started to occur when the mileage reach between 35,0000 to 45,000 miles and not just 2017 Ridgeline. There other manufacture years are having the similar issue.

Occasional (several times a month) phantom breaking on two lane roads, particularly when opposing traffic is approaching along a concave (i.e., inward) curve or when opposing traffic is transitioning from a widened road section back to a single lane.

Honda has been unable to correct the following recalls on my vehicle. For Recall #1, my vehicle does not have (nor has it ever had) a tonneau cover. My first attempt to clear this recall through Honda was on 17 May 23. They have not cleared it. For Recall #2, I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership on 24 Apr 23 (see attached documentation). The recall is not yet cleared, yet the system works fine.

I am writing in regards to our 2017 Honda Ridgeline. We have purchased 6 Honda vehicles over the years from Shockley Honda in Frederick Maryland, and this is our second Ridgeline. However our truck has been in the shop for almost a month and we do not know when it can be repaired. On April 29th at 4:30 AM our alarm system repeatedly went off. We got it to the dealership to learn that we would need to replace the Body Control Module However this part is on national backorder with no estimated date of delivery. We are currently without a vehicle which has been an extreme inconvenience. We have researched this problem and we have learned that this is a common problem and has happened numerous times in the 2017-2022 Honda Ridgelines. I do not understand how your large Company has not identified this as a major problem and safety issue. We learned that there has never been a recall for this or the problem solved all these years. Our truck only has 52.000 miles on it so it does not relate to wear. I am hoping that your company can look into this or reach out to inform us how long it will take to receive our part. Again this is not an isolated problem with these models but ongoing with numerous incidents for Ridgeline owners.

The vehicle alarm will go off intermittently, when parked. I have to keep the vehicle unlocked, which is extremely unsafe since it is in my driveway. You cannot replicate this since you do not know when it will happen. I travel a lot, and when I left the vehicle at the airport the alarm ran down my battery and I had to have it jumped. Now I cannot lock my vehicle when parked at the airport. I took it in to get it checked out and they said they found an error code identifying the control unit issue. I paid for the part, which was to be ordered and that was over a month ago. I called to check on the part, and they said there were over 250 in line ahead of me for this part. If there are that many folks waiting for this control unit part, there is obviously a problem. I am attaching the file of my payment for the part and labor. I have paid for something that has not been repaired and there is no date on when it will be repaired. There is a problem with this vehicle, and this is a safety problem by not being able to lock the vehicle.
