“Driving at about 55 MPH, my 2019 Honda Ridgeline's airbags didn't deploy when I hit a 2015 ford focus that failed to yield the right of way and cut infront of me. Honda sensing's collision mitigation braking system and forward collision warning failed to alert me and failed to stop my vehicle either.”
NHTSA complaint #11315889, filed 2020-03, 15,000 miles“One common misunderstanding in discussions I see on 2017-19 Ridgeline cmbs and acc while in active traffic, is that the Ridgeline Honda sensing system does not function the same as acura or any Honda car. The Ridgeline acc disengages at 22 MPH and to the best of my understanding affects the cmbs, delaying full engagement. Furthermore, Ridgeline cmbs on it's own engages dramatically late even when set at max distance, in my opinion ineffective for crash mitigation. …”

NHTSA complaint #11328564, filed 2020-06, 16,000 miles“Not sure that it's so much of a safety issue,as it is a black paint issue. I bought the truck in the early part of may 2019. I washed it a week later and noticed black bubbles toward the drivers back window. When I had problems getting the truck to pass emissions. I took it to the dealership. I pointed it out to the saleswoman. She didn't say much. So today I washed my truck again. Noticed 2 chips down to the primer on the hood. I took pics. I know we have a 7 year warrantee on the paint and interior. My problem is I'm afraid the repaint will not be nor last as long as the original paint job. …”
