2017 HONDA RIDGELINE Complaints

THE BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT WORKING. "BLINKED/FLASHED" A FEW TIMES WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THEN QUIT WORKING. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED HONDA TO REPORT THIS IN FEBRUARY 2020, BUT THEY SAID THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO; HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE CHUGS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE CITY. THE RPM TACHOMETER "BOUNCES" AS IT DOES SO. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 THINKING IT WAS FUEL PUMP ISSUE (RECALL 19-013) AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM WAS FINE. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING.

WIRING HARNESS TO BACK UP CAMERA HAS A KIK THAT RESULTS IN ABNORMAL WEAR AND FAILURE. BACK UP CAMERA NO LONGER WORKS. POOR ENGINEERING. OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RESOLUTION FROM HONDA

AT 70,000 MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY A 'KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM'. THE MESSAGE REMAINS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR A DAY OR TWO, DISAPPEARS, THEN REAPPEARS. THE IGNITION SYSTEM AND LOCKS CONTINUE TO WORK NORMALLY. I FEEL THAT THIS CREATES SAFETY CONCERNS - AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. *TR

REARVIEW CAMERA DID NOT WORK. WIRING WAS BROKEN BETWEEN BODY AND TAILGATE WHERE IT FLEXES. *TR

VEHICLE DISPLACE EMISSIONS SYSTEM ISSUE LIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - ADVISED BY BOTH DEALERSHIP AND INSURANCE ADJUSTER THAT THIS HAS BECOME COMMON IN THE LAST THREE YEARS SINCE A CHANGE IN MANUFACTURING AND THE USE OF A DIFFERENT KIND OF PLASTIC IN THE TANK. THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE AT THE DEALER THEN SHOWED AN ENTIRE DUMPSTER FILLED WITH REPLACED FUEL TANKS. *TR

ON 2017 RIDGELINE GETTING CODE FOR FAULTING INJECTORS AND RAIL . NO LOSS IN POWER OR SHUDDERING . THIS VEHICLE IS TOO NEW FOR THIS ISSUE

I AM EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION SHUDDER BETWEEN 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE MAKES A JERKING MOTION. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE COMPUTER FLASH DONE THAT WOULD STOP THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO FROM HERE. MY 2006 5 SPEED RIDGELINE SHIFTS FLAWLESSLY WITH OVER 250K MILES NOT SO MUCH THE 2017 6 SPEED WITH 44K. HONDA MAKES GOOD ENGINES BUT NOT TRANSMISSIONS.

EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 50,500 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON WAS THE RPM WOULD 'BOUNCE' SLIGHTLY WHILE AT AROUND 35 MPH AND AROUND 47MPH. IT WOULD OCCUR WHILE MAINTAINING THE SPEED OR GOING UP ANY INCLINE, BUT WOULD STOP IF I ACCELERATED AND MAINTAINED A HIGHER SPEED

"EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM" LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 60K MILES. SERVICE TECH SAID TO IGNORE IT IF IT GOES AWAY. IT DID, THEN IT CAME BACK ON REPEATEDLY OVER S SPAN OF MONTHS. EVENTUALLY, VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN POORLY, HESITATING ON ACCELERATION. HONDA SERVICE DIAGNOSED AS FUEL INJECTORS FAILING, PROBLEM REQUIRES TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF FUEL INJECTORS. WIFE'S 2017 PILOT HAS SAME PROBLEM, BROTHER'S 2017 PILOT HAD SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED HONDA, THEY DECLINED TO STAND BEHIND EITHER, AS THE VEHICLES ARE PAST WARRANTY ON MILEAGE.
