On February 4th, 2019, I parallel parked my vehicle at 9am on the street. At about 4pm that day, the fire department notified me that my 2017 Honda Ridgeline was on fire. My Ridgeline was stationary, parked on the street, and it was a rainy day. The fire fighter told me the fire started under the hood in the engine area. The Ridgeline was towed to a Honda dealership in hopes of finding the cause of the spontaneous fire. The Honda dealership did not even open the vehicle and would not diagnose the cause of the spontaneous fire. This is very dangerous because the spontaneous fire can harm and potentially kill people inside or around the vehicle as well as harm nearby buildings. This is also not the first 2017 Honda Ridgeline to have this same issue.

Ridgeline

  • 12,000 miles
At the precise moment the odometer hit 12000 miles, the vehicle lost power, all the warning lights lit up and rolling list of problems, involving, hill control, power steering, etc.. came on. Even after shutting it off and turning it back on multiple times the condition did not change. Honda had it towed to the dealer. After a day they could not find the problem except to say it was a low voltage issue.. seemed to coincidental that it happened at exactly 12000 miles and I stated as much. They reset everything and it has been ok for last 150 miles.

Ridgeline

  • 1,500 miles
New 2017 Honda Ridgeline truck when put in reverse from drive (stop position) the vehicle would go forward not backwards. After one month the transmission failure light came on and Honda dealership replaced the entire transmission. They replaced the entire transmission with a remanufactured transmission. The day after transmission replacement the shift position shifter on the remanufactured transmission switch went bad and was replaced. The vehicle continues to downshift oddly when foot is taken off accelerator. This is with the replaced remanufactured transmission on my 4 month old vehicle. This vehicle does not drive like a normal new car. The vehicle also has a very loud wind noise coming from both driver and passenger door when driving at a high rate/freeway. Dealership says no problems exist if a light does not come on to say failure then everything is ok. The dealerships do not completely document what the problems are when you take it in for repairs. No consolidation of information from Honda to report problems from multiple consumers. I have spent hours/days at the dealership regarding this new vehicle and the problems have not been resolved. I have numerous repair orders, E-mails, letters available upon request. Thank you.
