The contact owns a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated while driving at various speeds the accelerator pedal had become stuck causing the engine to stall. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the fuel relay was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Also, the key would not open the front driver side door and the anti-theft alarm continued to erroneously activate. The cause of the failure was not determined. Also, while operating the vehicle the front headlights were extremely dem. While inspecting the lights smoke and charring was present inside both the driver side and passenger side headlight assemblies. The cause of the failures was not determined. The failure mileage was 199,000.

Parking lamps will not stay continuously illuminated. They are controlled by the headlamp timer and turn off within 5-10 minutes of exiting the vehicle. This has created a dangerous condition when the vehicle was intentionally parked for an extended time on a two lane country road. It was almost hit by other vehicles every time the parking lights went off. My dealer has confirmed this design condition and was told by Honda that in order for the parking lights to remain on, the key must in the vehicle and the ignition turned "on". in this mode, the vehicle could not be left unattended. In my opinion, both conditions create unnecessary dangerous or risky conditions and should be corrected by Honda.
