Honda Ridgeline

"Access control needed replacement after an internal problem caused it to alarm and forbid entry, all on its own."

"They have turned on randomly on several occasions."

"Alarm would go off randomly."

"The truck had an automatic "walk away" locking feature that became inoperative. Had to use the button on the door or the key fob to lock the vehicle. I become very reliant on this automated feature. It was repaired at no cost to me. Not sure whether the repair was covered directly by Honda (secret warranty?) or extended warranty purchased at the time vehicle purchase."

"Walk away Auto lock feature stoppedworking"

"There is a definite problem with the start/stop button. Honda issued a technical service bulletin to replace the switch at no cost up to 125000 miles. My truck is at 151000. Since the switch is defective, Honda should replace it at no cost no matter how many miles are on the vehicle."

"Driver side power window sometimes doesnt close completely. Have to press the button a couple of times to make it work. Not taken to the repair shop yet ."

"Start button was defective and was replaced under extended warranty"

"Failure of backup camera twice in last twelve months"

"A warning the something is wrong with the remote start system. So far it has no effect on operation. The warning comes and goes for the last month. I'm ignoring it for now."

"It got a warning light that said: Keyless starting problem and it wouldnt allow the vehicle to start remotely."

"warning light indicating remote starting system problem intermittently comes on"

"Transmission is the 5 speed auto. Previous owner did not change fluid. Torque converter now shutters and will trip error codes over 63 mph. To change it will cost between 7 and $9000. I am flushing the transmission now keeping it running for now."

"The torque converter was replaced with the transmission described above. I didnt receive specifics about the issues."

"Problems with the torque converter starting at 60k miles. Multiple trips to Honda dealer. Finally the whole transmission had to be replaced"

"In early June, 2023 I got an error message indicating there was a transmission system problem. The message would clear upon restarting the truck but would reappear when driven above 60 mph. The dealership performed a transmission fluid flush ($350) which solved the error message for one day. After a couple of weeks the dealership replaced the transmission and torque converter. Honda covered all but $1500 of the estimated $9000 cost under good will since the truck was a year past their 5-year warranty albeit with only 51125 miles warranted for 60000. I was without a truck for a month. The truck has worked as expected for the 7 months since. Hondas response really didnt buy them any significant good will. A transmission failure after 51000 at a cost to me of $1850 was unacceptable."

"Torque Converter failed - was replaced with new under extended warranty. Now the transmission has failed completed and is pending replacement"

"I have had many problems with the transmission since my ridgeline hit 60k miles"

"Continious Dash indicator of problem with transmitting. Gears shifted rough. At about 120k miles. Replaced transmitton by dealer."

"In may 2023 I had to replace the transmission. I understand there is a problem with the 6 speed transmission in the Ridgeline. The dealer found me a used one. The cost of the transmission and labor was over $5000. If there is a problem with the transmission, Honda should replace it at no cost or at least help offset the cost."

"I got a warning message code. Which indicated a transmission problem"

"The Honda mechanic calls the problem juttering. It is a sensation like the engine is missing. They changed the transmission fluid twice and that takes care of the issue for about 18,000 miles and then needs to be done again. The mechanic said this is common for this make and model."

"Judder at 31,000 miles. Fluid change to fix under warranty. Judder at 43000 miles. Fluid change under warranty. Judder again at 45000 miles. On vacation, will contact dealer when we return."

"Transmission started to jutter, as its called, in 3rd year. Service was very reluctant to repair under warranty but finally flushed 3 times to fix the problem. Started again in year 6; same fix, but this time as part of a $600 all-fluid change. Considered asking for a partial refund for the transmission portion but never followed through"

"Slipping transmission. 4 trips to shop, flushed and computer update. Still not fixed, but not consistent"

"I kept getting a message about a trans issue. The truck still drove normally but the mileage decreased. Honda would do nothing to help except replace the torque converter for $4000.00. I finally went to a private trans shop and had it rebuilt. The major actuator ring had separated at it circumference. Total cost for the rebuilt was $5,000. I believe the problem was caused by a Honda dealer putting Greens Trans Aditive into my trans mission because the problems began just after that."

"While driving at distances of five miles or less, there were times when the transmission would seem like its stalling then jerk into gear. It didnt happen all the time."

"Extremely hard shift from second to third and would not shift into overdrive / 6 th gear Ran codes and determined shift solenoid needed replacement"
