2017 HONDA RIDGELINE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED CONTINUALLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SPARKING OR AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BEHIND THE CONSOLE. THE CONTACT RECORDED THE ISSUE WHILE IN PROGRESS. FOWLER HONDA PARTS 955 N INTERSTATE DR, NORMAN, OK 73069, (405) 389-3774, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,500.

EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON AT 57000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF UNTIL 1-30-2020 WHEN AT 69000 MILES EVERY LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT IN TO SAFE MODE ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO ALMOST REAREND ME. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE BAD. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM KNOWN TO HONDA SINCE THEY HAD REDESIGNED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. END RESULT: $1610.00. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMO.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BORDER LINE SUICIDAL - THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP ANYTHING REFLECTIVE ON THE ROAD AND NO SIGNS ARE REFLECTED EITHER. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPER WEAK AND I CAN'T DRIVE THIS TRUCK AT NIGHT.

MY HONDA RIDGELINE IS KEPT OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME. WE RECENTLY HAD A SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN FOLLOWED BY TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE 20'S. WHEN I WENT TO THE GAS STATION A COUPLE DAYS AGO, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE FLAP THAT TAKES THE PLACE OF A GAS CAP TO PUSH OPEN. IT WAS FROZEN SHUT SOLIDLY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO SIGN OF WATER ON THE OUTSIDE THE WEATHER FINALLY GOT ABOVE FREEZING TODAY AND I MANAGE TO BREAK THE ICE BEHIND THE FILLER FLAP AND GOT THE PICTURE BELOW. AT HOME THIS WAS AN INCONVENIENCE. ON A LONG ROAD TRIP IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BIG PROBLEM. I PRESUME THIS ALSO MEANS THAT EVERY TIME IT RAINS I'M GETTING WATER IN THE GAS TANK. I HAD NO IDEA .

WHILE BACKING UP, THE REAR CAMERA WOULD GO BLACK, OFTEN WHEN THE TRUCK BUMPED OVER THE ENTRANCE TO THE STREET. NOW THE CAMERA QUIT COMPLETELY. I FOUND BROKEN WIRES AT A PINCH POINT IN THE LOWER LEFT TAILGATE HINGE. A MUSHROOM HEAT CLAMP TO SECURE THE CABLE TO THE BODY APPEARED DAMAGED, POSSIBLY DUE TO A WIRING INSPECTION FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL?

WHILE DRIVING THE ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHTS COME ON ANIT LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM LIGHTS COME ON COLLISION AVOIDANCE LIGHTS COME ON THE LIGHTS ALL FLASH ON AND OFF AND THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT THE STEERING WHEEL IS JERKED OUT OF YOUR HAND IF YOU TRY TO TURN WHEN THE ERROR IS FLASHING -THE ERROR CODE IS NOT STORED IN THE COMPUTER TO SHOW THE DEALER THERE WAS A PROBLEM SO THEY CAN NOT FIX IT

ALARM SYSTEM GOES OFF EVERY 20 MINUTES. THIS JUST STARTED TO HAPPEN. IN CALIFORNIA. VEHICLE IS PARKED STATIONARY. THE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF. BUT INTERNAL THEN EXTERNAL LIGHTS COME ON FIRST, THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF. IT IS DRY NO RAIN EXISTS. WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURED.

WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH RADIO ANTENNA AND RUNS DOWN INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR WINDOW

THIS VEHICLE COMES EQUIPPED WITH A CAPLESS FILL DOOR. UPON TRYING TO FILL UP WITH GAS, I FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO INSERT THE NOZZLE FOR FILLING. AFTER FURTHER EFFORT, THE FIRST FUEL FLAP BROKE. AFTER REMOVING THE BROKEN FLAP, I FOUND THE FUEL FILL NECK FILLED ENTIRELY WITH ICE, THUS PREVENTING INWARD MOVEMENT OF THE FLAP. I WAS UNABLE TO FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL AS A RESULT. VEHICLE IS A 2017 WITH 50,000 MILES.

FUEL TANK NECKLINE FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER, AND YOU CAN'T PUT FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE COLD, THE NECKLINE FREEZES AND YOU CANNOT KNOCK IT LOSE ETC TO GET FUEL...SOMEONE COULD POTENTIALLY FREEZE TO DEATH!!
