I responded to a recall for my 2014 Honda Ridgeline on October 19, 2023. I have gone through recalls before and did not think much of it until the dealership informed me that my vehicle was "CONDEMNED". I have been calling Honda America ever since and they are not responsive. I was given a case manager as of October 23rd but this case manager cannot get me a loaner vehicle or any other information on how Honda America will make me whole. I have one car in my family and we live in a rural area with no public transportation. If Honda is going to issue a recall and find no remedy they MUST be held accountable and must be responsive to people like me who needs a car to get to work. The Honda dealership made me sign a waiver saying I assume all responsibility if anything happens which is outrageous. I requested a loaner vehicle and they denied the request. I asked that my case be expedited and it's been 3 weeks with no word.

My local dealership, Wesley Chaple Honda, in Wesley Chaple Florida, cannot get the tool required to perform the recall /repair of the rusted gas tank belt support that the recall no. 22V430 refers to. I purchased the 2014 Honda Ridgeline in Butler, PA in 2014 and is considered the rust belt region which is causing the corrosion of the support. Honda claims there are not enough Ridgelines in Florida to supply the local dealership with the necessary repair parts and the special tool required to make the correction. The Honda Corp. customer support just says to take the vehicle back to the dealership for the recall, but the dealership here cannot perform the recall without the proper tool.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Paint defect for 2014 Honda Ridgeline How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? NA Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dealership auto body shop said that the car's paint seems to have a defect such as clear coat is gone on car that is why it is peeling badly which is resulting to rust. I do not know if the paint had been improperly applied or issues with chemical composition of the paint that lead to premature chipping and wear that is occurring with the car. I had a 2007 honda pilot older than the 2014 Honda Ridgeline and it is not even peeling and rusty like the ridgeline. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? By Martin--email Martin.Rehfeldt@russdarrow.com who is the body shop manager at Russ Darrow Honda. I brought it to Honda Corporation's attention at acs@ahm.honda.com Case #: 12815491 and they refuse to assist claiming that there is no recall and it is considered "normal wear and tear" which I do not believe that in my case is the truth. There have been several complaints about Honda ridgeline's customers who are unhappy about the peeling paint. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Started toward at the end of 2021 and then had it estimated in Mar 2022, cost over $10,519 for the paint alone. For a paint job that cost over $10519 that means that there must be something wrong with the car to being with during manufacturing. It should NOT be blame on normal wear and tear. Solution: I would appreciate for Honda to do a courtesy repair on the car such as a new paint job at their own expense. Perhaps NHTSA should contact and research about folks who are in the same position as I am with the peeling paint.

There was significant water infiltration on left side front at location around and below fuse block and parking brake. Soaked insulation up to driver side seat and back to the windshield on the same side were noted. Water infiltration after heavy rain was severe enough to cause audible parking brake alarm that wouldn't clear completely until the area had partially dried. This alarm is loud enough and persistent enough to cause driver distraction and would become intermittent as carpet dried. insulation had to be removed after it was noted still wet after three days of no rain and with what appeared visibly as black mold near steering column at floor board. This appears similar to water infiltration addressed in the Honda service bulletin 07-082 for the 2007 and 2008 year models of the Ridgeline truck.

Safety Recall for rear subframe rust was "performed" at local dealer. Quality of work was questioned in that safety recall indicated dealer would removed corrosion on said subframe and apply anti-corrosive wax. Dealer notes they applied some anti-corrosive wax and some undercoating to a small section but did not coat ALL corrosion areas they cleaned. I had area reviewed by independent repair shop who noted the area was a concern and should be coated in the near future to prevent further corrosion and damage to frame. After discussing this with the dealer service department they informed me that was my job and my expense and told me to "have a nice day" and hung up. Is this appropriate behavior for a safety related item that could result in a fuel tank detachment or fuel leak?

IN DECEMBER 2016 I BEGAN TO NOTICE BILLOWING CLOUDS OF BLUE SMOKE FROM MY EXHAUST PIPE ON STARTUP. ON WATCHING THE PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS I NOTICED THAT IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY (BUT NOT ALWAYS) WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD. FOLLOWING THE INITIAL BLUE CLOUD (DEFINITELY NOT BLACK OR WHITE SMOKE), ANY EXHAUST GASES BECAME INVISIBLE (BUT I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER MY TRUCK WAS SMOKING FROM THE EXHAUST WHEN I WAS DRIVING). I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I STARTED IT UP WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY (WITH THE INTENTION OF PULLING THE TRUCK INTO MY GARAGE), EVEN IF THERE WAS NO SMOKE VISIBLE THE GARAGE WOULD FILL WITH FUMES ? IT WAS SO BAD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HOLD MY BREATH, EXIT THE TRUCK, AND SPRINT INTO MY HOUSE TO AVOID INHALING THOSE FUMES. IT QUICKLY BECAME APPARENT TO ME (AS AN AMATEUR MECHANIC) THAT SOMEHOW OIL WAS FINDING ITS WAY INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND WAS BEING BURNED, RESULTING IN THE SMOKE & FUMES. I THEREFORE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE HONDA DEALER IN ORDER TO HAVE THEM ISOLATE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. LATER IN THE DAY [XXX] PHONED TO SAY THAT THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE HAD DONE NO SERVICE TO THE TRUCK, AND THAT I SHOULD COME PICK IT UP. WHEN I ASKED WHAT DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE HAD BEEN PERFORMED, [XXX] TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD STARTED THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES AND LET IT RUN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, ALL THE WHILE VISUALIZING THE EXHAUST PIPE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY SMOKE: THERE WAS NONE. THEREFORE THEY SEEMINGLY DECIDED THAT THERE MUST NOT BE ANY PROBLEM AND THAT MY COMPLAINT WAS NOT VALID. TO SUMMARIZE: MY RIDGELINE IS BURNING OIL, WHICH PRESENTS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME; CLOUDS OF BLUE SMOKE AND FUMES ARE BEING DISCHARGED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT; AND I HAVE BEEN INSULTED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT VACAVILLE HONDA WHEN I TRIED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED.

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 07/29/2016, AND WAS INFORMED I HAD TO TELL THEM I WANTED THE PART REPLACED, AND THEY WOULD ORDER IT. I SPOKE WITH DEXTER, HE SAID HE WOULD ORDER IT, AND IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT SIX WEEKS.

UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND TURNING TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT THE THROTTLE CONTROL WOULD HESITATE AND NOT BE RESPONSIVE TO FURTHER STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS LIKE A DEAD ZONE AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSION ON THE GAS PEDAL. WE DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE MUCH BEING RETIRED BUT NEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THIS IS OUR 3RD RIDGELINE SINCE 2005 AND NEVER HAS THIS HAPPENED IN PRIOR TRUCKS OWNED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A QUIRK BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3/16/15 AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING BUT DID TELL ME THEY HAD ANOTHER CUSTOMER WITH A SIMILAR COMPLAINT THAT THEY AGAIN WOULD LOCATE NO CAUSE. THIS HAS CAUSED US TO LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE NORMALLY YOU ARE CROSSING OPPOSITE LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND AND IS IN A DEAD LIKE ZONE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THAT MEANS WE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID FIND ON YOUR DATA BASE ANOTHER CUSTOMER OF A 2014 MODEL WHO REPORTED THIS ENGINE HESITATION OR LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG AND AFTER DRIVING TWO OTHER RIDGELINES FOR 9 YEARS I KNOW IT AND NOW MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AND NOTIFYING HONDA OF AMERICA FORMALLY AS WELL BECAUSE IF THIS VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT I WANT HONDA TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."

Risk: If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part. Due to a manufacturing error, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, these inflators may explode.

Risk: An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
