Honda Ridgeline

"water entering fuel filler neck and freezing in cold weather"

"Issue occurred during Winter when temps were below freezing. Melting snow and water leaked into the gas fuel door and froze. I was unable to insert the gas pump nozzle into the filler as the plastic cover over the filler was frozen/jammed closed. Had to break the black plastic piece and dig the ice out to get the gas nozzle into the filler pipe. This was a previously known manufacturing deficiency (see on-line blogs) when the vehicle was built and not corrected until I brought the vehicle into the dealership."

"the fuel cap froze with road water and didn't allow access to the tank with fuel"

"water entering fuel filler"

"This vehicle has a capless fuel filler system, which collected water and froze. The repair included a new plastic piece added to the filler lid that deflects water around the filler. Once repaired, the problem has not recurred."

"Was unable to refuel vehicle as an ice bloc developed between the plastics flapper valve and the internal metal flapper valve. Unable to insert the fuel hose into the refill tube. Chiseled the ice dam out with hammer and screw driver and in the process broke the plastics fuel flapper valve. Returned vehicle to the dealer for repair. Lucky I discovered this issue when I still had a 1/4 tank of fuel and was able to drive home, get some tools and break out the ice."

"Repaired as part of a factory recall."

"replaced injectors"

"Fuel injector problem at approx 16,000 miles. Was covered by manufacturer. Also had fuel problem under recall. AND it smells very strong of gasoline in garage after parking."

"Check emission light came on, fixed under warranty, problem has not come back"

"Experienced an error code but was still drivable. Made an immediate appointment. Dealership replaced all fuel injectors under warranty."

"The emissions problem light came on. Took it in to find out what wrong. The computer code came up as P0430."

"inside warning light was on. took it in and had it fixed. took about 1 hour. no other problems."

"Idled rough and all warning lights (yellow) remained on all systems on dash."

"Factory recall."

"fuel pump issue was a recall to inspect/repair fuel pump electrical connector for possible corrosion it was ok and a cover was installed to protect it"

"The fuel pump had a recall where a cover had to be placed over the electrical connections to keep a fire from occurring."

"I have had recurring issues with noises coming from the firewall area that was originally diagnosed as a fuel pump issue. The fuel pump was replaced and the noise disappeared. Approximately 3-4 months later, the noise returned. This time, they diagnosed the noise problem as a loose engine mount bolt close to the firewall, which was repaired. Again, the noise disappeared - temporarily. Two months later, the noise has now returned. I am extremely frustrated as the noise is very bothersome and something I don't want to live with. The Ridgeline has been the highest rated mid-sized truck by not only Consumer Reports, but other publications as well. My personal experience has not been as positive. The truck has many excellent features, but the issues I have dealt with make me question the decision to purchase this truck. We have been faithful Honda owners since 1990 and this is the most disappointed vehicle we have purchased."

"Safety recall due to detergents causing the line to crack..fixed under warranty."

"warranty coverage repaired"

"There was a safety recall to check the fuel pump."

"Replace fuel injectors"

"Use my iPhone to listen to audiobooks. Often I need to pause the book. Screen does not respond to touch commands."

"Display screen for music disappeared for all input sources. Service technician said the screen was turned off but when I picked it up, the service rep couldn't explain how it got turned off and how the tech turned it back on."

"Driver's display will darken to an unreadable level"

"The screen goes all blue for less than a second. It does this randomly , maybe once a week."

"One of the things I wanted, and spent extra for, was the In-Bed audio. Had visions of after the MTB ride, dialing up little music and cracking open a beer. For whatever reason the bluetooth doesn't work. Works fine cabled up to Apple Car Play, but not wireless. Good news is the Honda guy couldn't make it work either and I am sure it will get sorted out. All the other complicated electronics works fine."

"The navigation has been intermittently inaccurate since the day we bought. We've had it into the dealer for warranty repair several times and have had little progress on the repair. It's my opinion that Honda doesn't want to spend the money to fix it, so they continue to try things to fix it that they already know won't work."

"GPS is often way off even in perfect weather and operating condition."

"Voice recognition is worthless and search capabilities are disappointing. I live in the city and routes selected are suboptimal and traffic warnings are often too late. I have pretty much stopped using the Honda GPS because it is not on par with Google or Waze."

"It won’t find most address will only go to places it thinks is close"

"it is a nightmare to use and it died on me once and couldn't find the location I wanted"

"Calling from the vehicle did not work properly. Was told it was a software problem and it was never fixed to my satisfaction. My solution was to just use Siri to call and then it works fine."

"Phone pairing, Apple Car Play and bluetooth music are all very glitchy. Googled some temp fixes but infotainment system still not operating 100%. Dealership was absolutely NO HELP!"

"phone unpaired for no reason. only happened once in 6 months"

"Frequently “forgets” my phone. Vehicle restart required and fixes it most times"

"Won't pair even though I am following manual instructions. Sometimes it does pair but then unpairs itself after a few weeks."

"The voice command to use the phone does not operate properly and the dealer cannot fix it."

"voice recognition"

"System simply does not recognize voice commands using Handsfree link with the cell phone."

"Honda's electronics and software are disappointing, they don't sync properly and the voice recognition system is a joke. It almost never recognizes commands so I don't even attempt to use it anymore and use google voice through Android Audio for navigation and music instead."

"It refuses to recognize me when I try to make calls or takes forever to find the person I want to call"

"it died completely but dealer said nothing was wrong."

"Center dash speaker vibrated/rattled. 5 trips to the dealer to remedy."

"Front hood rattles and moves when passing other vehicles' wind gusts. Also side winds."

"Dashboard rattle at top of dashboard where meets with windshield."

"In addition to the fuel pump and engine mount problems, the truck has been in the shop for additional issues associated with drive train noises. There are metal clicking noises coming from the transfer case or transmission. They attributed the noises to the expansion of exhaust pipes during the warm up process. This is an incorrect diagnosis. These noises are continuous and have nothing to do with the exhaust system. Furthermore, there has been a new noise that is coming from the steering column. I have had more issues with the Ridgeline than all other 5 Honda's we have purchased combined. It's frustrating because the features of the truck along with the fit and finish of the interior are very nice. Maybe it's just this specific truck. I am getting very close to cutting my losses and moving on to something else."

"Middle in dash speaker rattles constantly on any rough road. The dealer says they can only replace the speaker under warranty, which they did, but the issue still persists. The dealer has given up and so have I but it still annoys me that 40,000$ vehicle has such fit and finish issues. There are other problems with the car but none of them are with anything critical (drivetrain or mechanical)"

"The HVAC fan makes a constant noise from something rotating that's hitting something stationary. Multiple trips to 2 different dealers have not been able to resolve the issue. A new blower unit was installed and it makes the exact same noise. As a former Honda engineer and longtime employee, this is a very upsetting problem and one that should not be occurring."

"there is some wind noice from area of drivers door and dealer does not feel like I am hearing anything that is unusual"

"Drivers door had excessive wind noise. Took it to a dealer and they said they adjusted how the door was mounted to the car and problem resolved"

"The windshield is apparently make specially to block sound and I think it works. But all other side windows and the seals on them are really noisy. Driving on interstate its a lot noisier than any other car I have owned, and its especially bad when its raining. As it rains the the water flows down the side it makes a lot of squeaks and water sounds which almost make me think there is a leak (but there isnt), its just bad sound isolation."

"Drivers side window had way to much wind noise at highway speeds. Honda Service said they fixed but didn't."
