Anonymous A., NY (2024 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition 3.5-L V6)"In car navigation system is far inferior to one I had on 2017 ridgeline. Salespeople failed to explain difference. Also no in bed speakers on 2024 model. And don not lime the new shifting push button system. Easy to mis shift"

"All rotors prematurely warped by about 21,000 miles. Pulsating while braking. Dealer refused it as a warranty issue. I believe the rotors were defective. Spent $800 to replace with aftermarket rotors and pads. Independent mechanic that did the work stated the warped rotors he removed showed almost no signs of wear even though they had already warped."
Anonymous, SD (2024 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition 3.5-L V6)"Started at 26000 km. Took it to my Honda dealer and they were replaced on warranty"
Anonymous, SK (2024 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport 3.5-L V6)""After about 10,000 miles, the truck would pulsate when the brakes were applied. The truck had recently been driven in a mountainous area with some heavy breaking and this resulted in slightly warped rotors. The weight of the truck and the heating of the brakes during mountainous travel coupled with hard braking caused this. The brakes, in my opinion, aren't "heavy duty" enough for the weight of the truck.""

"The transmission has problems with shifting to the lower gear when shifting from D5 to D4 for engine braking. Honda cannot find the problem; the dealership says I should change my driving habits. The engine revs up in D5 and accelerates instead of slowing down before it finds D4. I have bought approximately 15 new vehicles and this is the only one where this issue happens. The mechanic at the dealership told me that they have problems with the transmission finding the right gear when downshifting. Problem has not been resolved."

""Vehicle occasionally shuts down and goes completely dead for no reason; but both times it happened I was able to restart the vehicle after about 3 minutes or so. I liken it to a computer rebooting. One time though it happened at a busy intersection at lunch time and as the vehicle was dead, I could not deploy the hazard lights. Fortunately I was able to restart the vehicle right as the traffic light turned green (I was first in line at the signal). Happened again 9 days later at a parking lot. Vehicle started briefly but then went completely dead. Like last time though, it eventually restarted. Fortunately there was no danger the 2nd time it happened.""
