| Dec 2024 | POWER TRAIN | Torque Converter malfunctioned causing vehicle to bang into first gear with slow acceleration there after as I was accelerating/merging onto the highway. Tractor trailer that was coming up to where I was merging needed to swerve into other lane to avoid hitting me. Brought vehicle to dealer and they confirmed that my torque converter needed to be changed. There were no previous warning signs or warning lamps indicating there was a problem. Honda has a service bulletin out # 23-078 for faulty torque converter issue for my year but Honda dealer states that my VIN is not part of that service bulletin so I have to pay to replace the torque converter. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Dec 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I took my 2019 Honda Ridgeline in on November 4, 2024, for a P0430 code (which was intermittent) and for a fuel pump recall. The dealership informed me that the fuel pump would need to be ordered, which would take a few days. However, shortly after dropping off the vehicle, I received a call stating that the fuel injector for cylinder 6 had failed the test, and they quoted $1,734.71 for replacing the fuel injectors. I inquired about Honda Service Bulletin 19-073 (dated July 5, 2019), which addresses issues related to debris from the fuel injector manufacturing process. The dealership then called back and informed me that this issue would only be covered under the warranty period. They advised me to submit a claim directly to Honda, providing me with a phone number for that purpose. Since getting the vehicle back, I have conducted further research and found Honda Service Bulletin 21-010 (dated February 11, 2021), which extends the warranty on these fuel injector repairs to 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. My Ridgeline has only 61,000 miles. I filed a claim with AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO, case # 15143166 on 11/16/24 requesting reimbursement for the fuel injector repair in the amount of $1,734.71. I received a phone call on 11/30/24 stating my claim had been rejected. They stated I needed to submit a complaint with NHTSA. The symptoms experienced are the exact the same as the two service bulletins describe, thus the repairs should be covered. I emailed the service department on November 15, 2024, to inquire about the status of the fuel pump, but as of today, it has not yet arrived. I have been waiting over a year for a fuel pump replacement. I have highlighted pertinent information in the attached documents | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2024 | ENGINE | Engine suffered internal mechanical failure. I had the failed engine replaced so it is no longer in my position. My wife was driving and was nearly rear-ended on a major highway at around 55mph. Without warning, the truck stalled then completely stopped. she was able to get it running for a short period in order to go down an off ramp. Then it would not restart. I had the truck towed to the dealer and the diagnosing mechanic described it as an internal mechanical failure, most likely a rod bearing failure. The dealership service manager discouraged me for having the engine full diagnosed because of the cost. Failure occurred without warning. Once the truck stalled, all warning lights began to flash. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | while driving vehicle hesitated and almost shut off. it has happened twice in the last month. also sometimes is hard to start engine. I received the fuel pump recall in February 2024 and again in May 2024 stating that parts should be available in FALL. I called DCH Honda of Temecula and I was told that they do not have parts and they have no idea when they will have parts on hand. I fear that my truck will shut off and I will not be able to stop it in time. Especially when driving 65-70 MPH on freeway. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | There is a fuel pump recall on my 2019 Honda Ridgeline. The danger of this is it could go out causing a crash and or injury. I have been trying to get this replaced for ONE YEAR now, to no avail. I want to avoid this happening while driving at freeway speeds, and need to have it replaced ASAP. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Nov 2024 | POWER TRAIN | I am writing to express my concern regarding an ongoing transmission issue with my Honda Ridgeline. I initially experienced problems with the transmission around 60,000 miles, which manifested as gear slippage or shuddering. After bringing the vehicle in for inspection, I was informed that this issue had been noticed with other Ridgeline models, although Honda has not issued a recall for it. Instead, a Service Bulletin was issued, recommending a transmission fluid flush followed by a test drive at various speeds, and repeating this process three times. This procedure was performed, and the issue seemed to resolve temporarily. However, I am now experiencing the same problem again at 79,000 miles. While the flush worked previously, it seems unreasonable that I would need to repeat this process, especially considering the associated costs of flushing the transmission fluid multiple times without a lasting solution. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel pump module - truck surges, stumbles ,slows down at 20-40 mph. Contacted 2 Honda dealerships mid- late May 2024 ( Gunn Honda, HillCountry Honda San Antonio TX), was told parts to fix unavailable. Contacted same 2 November 16 , told parts still unavailable to fix, even though It’s been 7 months since I received recall notice and contacted the dealerships. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Honda issued a recall for my vehicle in Feb 2024 and I have sought to have this issue resolved since then. I have visited my local dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle over 12 times since and they have declined to put me on a list to obtain the replacement part. Today, the parts department clerk told me that all the parts that they receive from Honda go to fix the vehicles that they have on the lot for sale. They would not accept an order for the part to repair my vehicle and told me that I would just have to keep checking in with them. I have been waiting for over 10 months for their proactive response to no avail. There is no indication that Honda has any intention of repairing this defect and the Safety Consequence of a potential of an 'increased risk of a crash or injury' remains. My wife does not even want to travel in this vehicle due to the unresolved risk that this vehicle presents. I strongly feel that Honda should be required to resolve this issue for the existing cliental with in use vehicles prior to being allowed to fix their unsold in stock used vehicles for sale and profit (to the detriment of existing customers). This would certainly put the pressure on Honda to expedite the remedy of this long existing recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Was extended warranty for my make model and year for faulty fuel injectors. Exact same codes on the bulletin but wasn't covered due to vin specific. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | ENGINE | Vehicle is currently at Curry Honda in Yorktown NY awaiting an engine repair. The vehicle developed a rod knock consistent with NHSTA campaign number 23V751000, engine damage from connecting rod bearing wear. Metal shavings were in both the engine oil and oil filter as confirmed by technicians at Curry Honda. Vehicle was driven to the dealership and all mechanical issues were verified by dealership employees. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | ENGINE | Beginning at ~30K miles, I am hearing a "rod-knock" from the bottom of engine. Especially noticeable when starting out from a stop. Easily reproduced by putting foot on brake, truck in drive, and slowly depressing accelerator pedal. All maintenance since day 1 on truck (now has 65k miles) has been done at dealer. Reported issue to dealer and they responded, "cannot duplicate". I fall within the Honda engine rod bearing issue and I am concerned about engine failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | In a blizzard in the mountains on November 5th/24. Right outside mirror did not heat up, completely iced over and could not see anything out of it. My Parking transmission lights are also not coming on - cant see in the dark. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,EQUIPMENT | The contact owns a 2019 Honda Ridgeline. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and 20E068000 (Equipment); however, the part to do the recall repairs was not yet available. No further information was provided. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Over the last several months the vehicle developed a strong fuel odor in the engine compartment after being driven. I took it to the Honda dealer to identify the cause on 8/30/24, they kept the vehicle for 2 days and were unable to find a problem although they also observed the strong fuel smell. Their recommendation was to return with gas tank less than half full so they could check that. Fuel smell is clearly in the engine compartment, so I took the vehicle to my local mechanic who used a camera to localize the smell/leak to the top of the engine. They recommended removal of the manifold to diagnose further and identified a significant leak between the high pressure fuel pump and the injectors. They replace the fuel joint pipe, six injectors, and high pressure fuel pump cover which was saturated in fuel. Two areas of concern. First, there is clearly an unadressed leak problem with the fuel joint pipe. It is mentioned in several places on the NHTSA site for this Ridgline model and several related model designs. While this vehicle did not catch fire, a significant leak on the high pressure side of the high pressure fuel pump is a clear hazard and should be analyzed to identify the root cause. Second, Honda needs to proactively address this with their dealer technicians. I have no way to verify if they actually disassembled the top of the engine to access the high pressure fuel pump, fuel joint pipe, and injectors, as they told me, but it didn't take long for my local mechanic to identify the issue once they did. Bottom line is this problem is real, occurs frequently enough to appear as an issue reported to NHTSA and will not be easily identified by scanning the vehicle codes which is apparently what the dealer standard practice is. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
