“Brake lockout switch failed. Truck would not shift since brake applied did not register through switch. Brake lockout switch was replaced. We took the failed brake lockout switch apart at the factory seam/keepers and it smelled like internals had melted and or burned, a smoke like smell. I still have the failed part in posession.”
NHTSA complaint #10734963, filed 2015-07, 85,000 miles“When I bought the Honda Ridgeline I found the transmission line an coolant line broke inside radiator causing issues and having to replace lines an radiator along with tranny flush. Now the transmission shifts hard into fourth shaking the truck every time touching the gas around 60mph and sometimes normal city driving. Aldo the brakes are soft and spongy and has to be put almost to the floor to start stopping. I like hundreds of other Ridgeline owners don't understand why Honda doesn't fix these issues that basically all ridgelines have. …”
NHTSA complaint #11166617, filed 2019-01, 161,000 miles“My 2007 Ridgeline failed to activate either the ABS or the vsa as I began skidding on the snow that was between the tire lanes. The drive lanes were clear pavement and at 64 MPH in cruise control I changed lanes and the vehicle began 4 wheel skiing on the snow. I applied the brake and lost all control of my Ridgeline as the vehicle with all 4 wheels locked, skid over to the side of the road and became entangled with the snow bank. With all 4 wheels locked the vehicle slowed due to the depth of the snowbank. As it slowed the Ridgeline swung around sideways and slowly rolled on its side. …”
NHTSA complaint #10266654, filed 2009-04, 64,987 miles“While driving vehicle experienced a complete loss of braking capability due to failure of the braided portion (bottom end) of Honda part: pipe v, brake part number: 46375-sjc-a51.”
NHTSA complaint #10566804, filed 2014-03, 76,718 miles“1. At a constant speed of approximately 45 MPH, level surface or slight uphill grade, transmission in od, torque converter locked, I experience a serious vibration and audible tone coming from the engine compartment. In addition, that tach reflects a slight pulsation in engine RPM at approximately 1500 RPM. This is the same description as in the odyssey and element recalls which indicates a faulty torque converter. 2. Brake pedal is spongy and soft. When applying brakes, the pedal drops to a level close to the floor. Braking is minimal. …”
