2007 HONDA RIDGELINE Complaints

During the conduct of the Fuel Tank corrosion recall, the dealer identified that the location on frame where the rear control arm attaches was completely corroded away and no longer supporting the control arm. They said this was a safety issue that can cause the rear wheel to collapse in. The dealer tried to get Honda of America to cover the repair as a part of the fuel tank recall but Honda of America refused. The dealer said the only way to fix it would be to attach a whole new truck bed as it's a unibody construction. There hasn't been a crash yet but there is a strong possibility of a crash due to the corrosion.

My Vehicle had a recall for corrosion on the rear frame. I brought it to the local Honda dealer on 9/14/2022 . it was picked up on 9/15/2022. The invoice stated they inspected the rear frame for rust and corrosion. I had told them there was a big hole in the the frame near the driver's rear wheel. I looked under the vehicle on 9/19/22 and the hole still remains. It is right by the jacking point on the vehicle and looks unsafe to use if i need to change the tire. I took pictures and sent to the dealer and have not heard back from them.

Hello, we are reporting an incident our 2007 Honda Risgeline. I am reporting this for my son who is the owner of the truck. He hit a pothole, after which a ticking noise started. When he got home, we inspected the vehicle and found that the gas tank straps ripped out of the frame, due to frame rust. The gas tank is laying in contact with the vehicle driveshaft. The ticking noise is due to the driveshaft balance weights contacting the gas tank and the shaft rotates. I am reporting so that you have accurate incident counts for your records. This would be part of the recently announced recall for this issue. The vehicle can not be driven in its current state.

I took my vehicle for a state inspection as I had just purchased it was explained to me as a body rust only no frame rust vehicle. Upon inspection the mechanic showed me that the frame was rushed out completely at the rear end subframe inboard mounts. The gas tank strap mount was missing and held in with a nylon strap. Most of the secondary subframe is nonexistent and frame at radiator core support is diminished.
