Honda Ridgeline Change Vehicle

"Left rear caliper froze in the closed position. We had to replace both rear calipers, rotors, and pads"

"The rear disc brake calipers corroded and caused premature brake wear. I now have these checked annually and they have needed cleaning and lubrication"

"caliper failed. Wife kept driving & took out the rotor. Replaced both front rotors and calipers & pads."

"I have had the rear brakes replaced twice in 90k miles. That maybe normal however, the calipers needed to be replaced for the last replacement."

"These tend to build up rust and thus do not move in/out fully. This causes excess brake pad wear."

"Sticking brake caliper"

"Rear Brakes only made it 40000 miles"

"Had to replace front rotors due to damage from brake pads"

"No problem"

"brakes wore out prematurly"

"I had to get my brakes replaced"

"It made it 120000 miles on the original brakes, so this was anticipated"

"No protection from salt in winter, Brake parts unpainted or not coated- tends to rust very quickly- as do the steel wheels"

"The problem created noise when stopping. The break replacement was expected because of the high mileage."

"at 53000, had to replace back brakes only"

"As noted, routine. Pads and rotors."

"Rear brakes replaced with less than 50000 Km"

"This vehicle has had trouble with the rear brakes. My mechanic said this was a defect for that year"

"Front disk pads were replaced in 2015. Rear disk pads were replaced twice in the last two years. At least they said they replaced them twice. And now the rears are ready again. But possibly due to trailer towing once tor twice a year. No Biggy, happy with my truck"

"First brake job was at approx. 60000 miles. Next brake job needed in half the mileage"

"Excessive wear of rear brakes"

"This is the 3rd rear brake pad replacement since new"

"Brakes are failing, but instead of squeaking or grinding, have gotten very soft"

"2ND SET OF BRAKES THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. ONLY 35000 MILES"

"Given that the truck is not used for heavy loads or wear and tear, the brake pads tend to wear at an extremely fast rate even though the truck has a low annual mileage."

"With 78,000 miles on this truck I have already had to have two $1,000+ brake jobs as the result of frozen calipers"

"rear brakes wore out much faster than front"

"I took the vehicle in for routine brake service. A couple of days later, while driving on the expressway, the brakes failed due to a mechanical failure in the front left wheel causing the brake fluid to gasify and cause the total loss of brakes while operating at 110 kph in heavy traffic. The failure occurred as a result of something letting go in the breaking mechanism while driving at speed. The brakes were NOT in use at the time of the failure. The vehicle started to jump about and when the brakes were applied, the pedal went to the floor."

"Again this is the result of heating up Rotors. They warp and cause pulsing feel. I replaced the rotors and that solved it. The Ridgeline has been very reliable otherwise."

"Even with annual brake maintenance, parts continually seize up and require extra work and replacement."

"rusting rotors"

"rotors went bad"

"I believe Rotors are not made thick enough, and get hot and warp. This is done to lower weight of the vehicle, to increase fuel economy... but I have replaced the rotors twice in the front brakes, due to warping. I dont drive a lot, but you cant turn the rotors, to fix them. Just have to buy new ones. Overall the braking is good. I bought heavy duty brakes this time (for towing, even though I rarely tow anything.) hoping this helps extend life."

"Sway bar links failed first rear, now front"

"The bushings became worn and needed replacement"

"LEAK IN THE COUPLING IN POWER STEERING LINE,"

"hose clamp not secured"

"power steering line failed"

"The entire power steering line had to be replaced to stop the power steering fluid from leaking. I have owned all sorts of vehicles since 1970 (over 30 ) and I have never experienced this problem before"

"Leakage not fixed during 3 visits in a year, then kept in shop overnight for repairs."

"The power steering pump was replaced by the Honda Dealer. Two months later the Ridgeline was returned to the Dealer for an oil change and routine maintenance. The Dealer stated the power steering fluid was dirty and should be replaced. This means the pump was replaced two months earlier and had been operating on dirty fluid!!! I have not since returned to this Dealer"

"Power steering pump whines frequently. Changing the fluid helped, but Honda said there wasn't a problem Still whines though off and on"

"Became very hard to turn at slow speed"

"Power steering intermittent failure. Difficult to diagnose. Trial and error by service dealer. Replace some components on speculation. Switch sensor, fluid reservoir and finally steering pump"

"Power steering set up a howling noise at low speeds. Power steering pump had to be replaced"

"Power steering pump complete failure"

"the high pressure hose was leaking. I manage to fix it myself but it would be difficult for most people."

"Power steering O-rings leaked, causing the power steering to make a lot of noise. O-rings were replaced and it works fine now; this is a common Honda power steering issue for many of the late aught vehicles."

"I don't know how long they should last, so can't judge whether this is normal wear and tear. They are just worn out and leaking."

"when ever i go over bumps in the road a noise comes from the front end, i didn't have it checked out yet . don't know if it the struts of tie rod ends or what."

"Torsion bar rusted, old age. Dealer replaced , not a big deal considering it's 11 years old and gets driving in Michigan during winter."

"replacement of sway bar end links"

"Replaced the whole rack and pinion system"

"leakage that will eventually require replacement of the rack and pinion system."

"Both front axles required replacement. Ceritified mechanic reported that struts, bushings, had been mis-installed allowing axles to wear unevenly"

"See previous note. Two axles, wheel bearings and bushings required replacement"

"Wheel bearing issues most likely result of front end accident in 2017 not diagnosed at the time of the accident."

"Seems early in vehicles life to have A/C issues. The vehicle was certified and had lots of little issues with a vehicle that should have left the lot in better condition"

"one caliper piston was starting to seize so had to be changed"

"Had to have compressor replaced"

"no heat during winter. cost $400. then only cool on passenger side. another $400. but now fixed"

"pressure switch that controls AC or compressor went out,"

"Blowing hot air on one side cold on the other."

"Two times now, I've experienced air blowing but no cold air came out. The part that tells the system to blow cool air had to be replaced."

"While in automatic mode, the system seems to have a mind of it's own. It can be 100 degrees outside and the temperature inside will be outputting heated air instead of refrigerated air. A series of manual control steps are necessary to reset the system to get it to work properly again."

"Had to be replaced"

"The air conditioner fan stopped working. the problem was a burnt wire. the mechanics could not decide what caused the wire to burn out"

"The leaks have been since I purchased truck, dealer has not been able to repair"

"cracked hose"

"had to replace A/C line due to poor connection at hose fitting"

"Dealer tried to fix 3 times and failed. I had independent make repair, which was fixed"

"Lost refrigerant charge, recharged, continues to lose charge"

"Leaking a/c line causing loss of coolant"

"Leak cannot be found. Dye doesn't appear to help locate leak."

"Had the vehicle back to dealer numerous times....soured me on climate control...would opt for straight ac"

"The leak is on going and has not been able to be located by the Honda Technicians. In the process of looking for it over the last 18 months the compressor failed."
