Honda Ridgeline

"Was very glitchy until a recent update. I was pleased that at least Honda chose to continue to update the system (even though the vehicle is a 2017) and not it seems to only glitch occasionally and a reset always fixes the issue. Shouldn't be this way at all, though."

"Honda interface with Apple Car Play is poor and confusing, and is spontaneously interrupted."

"Does not see CarPlay when phone is plugged in sometimes"

"No matter what I do I always have trouble with Apple CarPlay starting up. Honda blames Apple and Apple blames Honda."

"Camera cable was warn (and finally broke) due to the tailgate opening and closing. More clearance is needed for the backup camera cable."

"Backup wiring was damaged by the tailgate. The routing of the wiring is a bad design. Dealer replaced wiring harness even though vehicle was out of warranty. Kudos to Honda to cover the repair. On the 2020 model it doesn't appear the wiring harness has been re-routed."

"Occassionally the backup camera will display a blank screen when in reverse. Dealer found no problem, though it will still occur intermittenly."

"The camera stopped working due to a frayed wiring harness."

"Camera failed end of May 2020 Dealer changed Camera then system them display screen Tech from Honda was sent to find problem. They Replaced section of wiring harness that fixed problem. Truck at dealership 3 times total days at dealership 17 days."

"Sometimes the camera does not show anything except the yellow grid"

"When backing up, there is no visual display of what's behind the car, but the colored lines that overlay the screen are still visible and the audible alerts still work when getting too close to something."

"Sensors for parking rain sensor, forward accident sensirs"

"just freezes at will"

"System Locks up, truck need to be turned off to reset"

"The display screen did not work. Period within the first 3 weeks of purchase"

"infotainment system is terrible, no manual buttons makes if difficult to navigate"

"The whole unit was replaced. No issues since."

"From time to time the system will not recognize music on my USB flash drive. Then it will start working again. This is very frustrating!"

"Doesn’t pair with phone over Bluetooth. Menus are confusing"

"Interface confusing and difficult to use. Apple CarPlay connection works sporadically. Software for the system needs refinement. Too many menus and confusing sub-menus. Requires too much attention while driving. Plug in phone connection only works if plugged in before engine is started. Can't use while driving"

"Hard to explain, but in bluetooth calls, if you do not use the system voice commands or screen menus to dial out, it puts you in a "private mode", and you can hear nothing at all until [or if] someone picks up the call. No dial tone, nothing. It's stupid and distracting"

"iPod stops paring and won’t play."

"When cold (below freezing), all electronic systems would go into alarm and not function. Hill start, anti-lock brakes, stability control, etc. It had to be below 32 degrees in VA to diagnose, so it took years (since new) to get the problem fixed. I had to schedule a meeting with the service manager at the dealer and explain everything to finally make it happen. And once the truck warmed up, you could turn it off and restart it and everything would work. Conditions had to be just right to recreate the issue. Finally they replaced the VSA modulator and that fixed the problem."

"Updates were not working. Honda replaced the system."

"gave me totally wrong travel info to Madison wrong direction on first turn and said 3 hours when its more like 6 hours, my stand alone Garmin was right in-dash garmin was wrong!!"

"The whole infotainment system clearly sucks. The GPS has frozen-up on me twice. The unit randomly changes between satellite and iphone music source. It does a terrible job recognizing my voice"

"Gps stopped working and display went black. After 2 months of haggling the unit was completely replaced and had no problems since."

"The map became corrupted, possibly due to the Android issue. I reinstalled the map (actually the update) and it is now functioning."

"The system, about three times a year, will get lost. it will start telling you to turn when no turn is available, will show you out in a farm field. usually fixed by rebooting the system. it will never do it for the mechanic."

"When using the Bluetooth connection, it will not allow me to hang up- keeps showing phone is still connected. I need to shut off the ignition before I can make or receive another call"

"phone does not connect all the time,display switching to handset"

"Glitchy w my iPhone on occasion. If it doesn't pair, you must either shut the vehicle completely off or the phone - both bad options"

"Voice commands for phone not being understood"

"it Pairs unreliably. It will work on 3 trips then suddenly on the fourth it pairs but the phone speakers are used even though the dash screen controls work and accurately list the song playing."

"Bluetooth seldom works with my IPhone. Honda blames Apple and vice versa."

"keeps disconnecting from antenna for xm radio, just had new antenna installed ,started to disconnect two days later. Disconnects came and go! Very frustrating!!! I thought a new HONDA would be better than my 2008 Ridgeline RTL ! Think I'll look at a new FORD small truck when they become available!!"

"Map would not update to latest version and did not change time when moving through time zones."

"navigation maps have never let me update. Dealer not interested."

"Voice commands do not work properly. System does not respond to voice commands to select initial item (phone, navigation, etc.) requiring touch screen selection. Then work somewhat well. Voice recognition is poor."

"Microphone quit working"

"Voice commands are interrupted in Apple Car Play if the turn signal is activated."

"quit working and computer was replaced"

"The bluetooth voice dialing is worthless"

"Voice commands are not understood by software. My words are often misinterpreted."

"check engine/emission problem appeared on dash. returned to dealer to have diagnosed and corrected. dealer replaced oil pressure switch. covered under warranty"

"There is no fuel cap on this model and given the position and orientation of the fuel door, rainwater was getting into the fuel port. There are two plastic flaps in the port and water froze between them in the winter, preventing me from being able to fill the tank."

"Emissions warning needed to replace the fuel tank cap less spring loaded closure feature, not a big deal but dealer accidentally broke fuel door latch and that replaced that took one extra day"

"Fuel filler seal/flap gets frozen is cold weather. Dealer did a TSR modification which should take care of it."

"Some gas pumps do not fit into the filler neck, and some have gotten stuck. I've had to forcibly remove the gas pumps and may have damaged the fuel cap."

"Manufacturer's recall"

"Has no fuel cap. Problem was with sensors indicating closure"

"Ice in the fuel cap area prevented flap from opening and being able to put gas nozzle in. Had to take to Honda dealer to have them de-ice the fill area."

"Gas pump nozzles have gotten stuck in the filler several times, and I've had to forcibly remove them which may have damaged the filler tube. Also, some gas pumps don't pump, and I have to cancel the sale and try another pump. Finally, some gas pump nozzle don't fit in the filler properly."

"Defective cap was promptly replaced by dealer. No further issues."

"Water freezing in capless spout."

"It is a cap less fueling system but when it rains then freezes(icestorm) the flapper valves freeze shut preventing refueling from taking place. I have to keep a baggie over the cap area to prevent water from entering and freezing."

"bad fuel injector in cylinder 1. Honda covered it but it was just out of warenty"

"Engine began to knock/ping and lose power. I could still drive slowly, but was advised that I may cause further damage. Don't recall quite what the issue was. had it towed to CarMax for service."

"The Ridgeline is in the shop right now getting the fuel injectors replaced. It is covered under warantee"

"Emmision light came on. Dealer found the fuel injectors and fuel rails needed replacement. Dealer stated some of the early Ridgelines had this problem."

"Check engine light came on. Tech updated emission software. 2 months later, check engine light came on again. Next step in tracing and fixing the problem, required replacing the fuel injection rail and injectors, and checking the valve adjustment on the number two bank of cyclinders. No issues for the last four months."

"Emission trouble light kept coming on intermittently. All fuel injectors and fuel rail system replaced."

"Check engine light came on Honda stated I needed all new injector and fuel rail, not covered under emissions warranty."

"Maintenance minder error of Emission System Problem, which was diagnosed by Honda dealer as injector problems and fuel feed lines. Replaced under extended warranty."

"Fuel injectors had to be replaced with redesigned injectors because of early failure."

"Had to have the fuel injectors replaced"

"Check engine light came on. Immediately went to dealer and they diagnosed that fuel injectors had to be replaced. Also replaced a small section of fuel line"

"Possible safety between exhaust and exhaust"

"recall items. No noticeable problems noted"

"It was a recall. Local Honda dealer did the service. It did NOT cause a problem."

"Recall on fuel pump. Took in and it was repaired. Did not create a driving issue."

"This was only a recall to check the fuel pump assembly - mine had no issue."

"Recall, washing solvent that leaks near the fuel pump from the gas tank could corroded."

"safety recall: fluids that accumulate in trunk bet can drain to the fuel tank and pump.car wash detergent containing sulfuric acid can crack the fuel feed port."

"Replaced fuel pump for warranty"

"Fuel pump safety recall..."

"Ridgeline recalled for possible corrosion around fuel pump caused by chemicals in car wash soaps. Warranty repair (there was not problem but shield was installed around fuel pump."

"potential leakage in fuel line"

"Honda recall"

"recall"

"The check engine light has come on three or four times even the truck only has about 26,000 miles on it. The dealer just reset the system and told me to run a tank of premium gas to clear it out. This seems like an inadequate fix for the problem, and I suspect that the check engine light is going to keep coming on until the dealer actually does something and fixes the problem."

"They first said it was the computer. Reset it no problems for two weeks. It kept happening every two weeks. Finally they replaced the O2 sensor. No problems since."

"Emissions o2 sensor replaced but, still causes error with emissions unresolved by dealer..."

"There is a wind noise from the aftermarket sunroof when it's closed, during crosswind gusts"

"Improperly installed seam sealer resulted in the rear carpet getting soaked during a rainstorm. The dealer fixed it and replaced the carpet under warranty."

"seal around the sunroof leaks when going through a car wash. Have tried every car wash in my area and the spray leaks though in all of of them. I have not noticed leak driving in rain."

"Improperly installed sun roof"

"The door to the fuel port leaks water which freezes inside the gas fuel flap making it impossible to fuel the car in sub freezing temperatures. It had to go into the dealership twice for this problem."

"rolling up or down driver window makes noise"

"Chirping sound in the dashboard"

"rattles on underside of the car."

"squeak under dash"

"Both the sunroof and the rear window made significant noise with vehicle flexing. Honda replaced both units under warranty and the vehicle has been absolutely quiet since."

"Loose shroud under passenger side"

"The truck groaned from the front end when under initial acceleration.. Fixed under warranty, traced to a frame bolt that needed replacement and retorquing"

"After two trips to the service department, it was determined that the speaker clips were rattling and this was fixed. The rattling continued and they replaced the speaker. The rattling continued and I will be taking the vehicle back for repairs"

"Mild, but irritating low-level sound of something rattling, even at idle"

"The sunroof has a loud rattle. I have taken it in to the dealership three times and they can't fix it. T the truck that is intermittent. The dealer can't figure it out either.hey are now working with Honda to try to find a solution. I also have a rattle coming from underneath"

"Good overall, drivers window rattles when driving over numerous small bumps."

"Multiple squeaks and rattles in steering wheel, dash and roof trim. Unusual for a Honda. Dealer not to helpful trying to address"

"Window trim vibrated at highway speed"

"rattles under dashboard"

"whistling noise from passenger side window when speed exceeds 60mph. Have not taken it for service yet"

"wind noises occur when driving on a highway"

"There is wind noise from both the driver and passenger windows. I was told it is the design of the truck. My 2007 Honda CRV had less wind noise. Very disappointing."

"windows ara noisy"
