Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The back up camera has ceased working due to the wiring harness being cut and crimped in the tailgate assembly. It appears to be a example of a poor design that could be a safety issue. The constant opening and closing of the gate and the choice of poor materials does not protect the wiring. I noticed it when attempting to leave a parking lot. Through my research it is a common occurrence on these models.”

“On page 32 of the Ridgeline owner's manual it states that the fob will lock the tailgate. The tailgate does not lock. The cavity in the bed locks but not the tailgate. I have a cap on this vehicle yet cannot secure valuables in the bed of the truck. Will it take a lawsuit for property loss for Honda to address a fix ????? I am not recommending the Ridgeline to my large network until this is addressed.”

“On 8/22/17 I brought my Ridgeline to apple Honda in riverhead ny due several warning lights being activated. The activated warning lights are as follows: collision mitigation, road departure mitigation, blind spot info system, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, power steering system, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, trailer stability assist. After a query of your database I found that similar problems have been reported and as a result of this the following NHTSA campaign number 16v888000 was generated. …”

“I was stopped at a busy intersection with a vehicle in front of mine signalling to turn right. When the light changed the forward vehicle turned right and as I proceeded to accelerate to go thru the intersection my cms braking system apparently deployed, slamming on my brakes and bringing me to a jarring stop. I paused and then accelerated on thru intersection with no problem. There were no vehicles in front of me or turning in front of me when the brakes deployed suddenly on their own. This was a busy intersection of two state highways in a small city.”
