Ridgeline RL 3,5 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,565 miles

My backlight on the dash for the Heat and A/C works only when it feels like it. I usually can hit the mode button and it will come on but it is only a few minutes away from going out again.

Ridgeline

  • Automatic transmission
  • 140,000 miles

instrument gauge freezes and all warning indicators light up

This problem appears to be with computer chip, in cold weather the indicators such as mileage and temp etc never come on and it tells you false problems such as door open, abs error etc. Once warmed up and you restart vehicle it normally corrects itself, though have seen it even in warm weather acting up lately.

Im guessing this is a computer problem/maybe faulty chip and suspect like everything else I have seen with this truck expensive to repair.

Ridgeline RTS 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,149 miles

I just noticed that this was a problem for someone else. The odometer is not reading the mileage properly. The mileage/trip indication is reading/flashing in and out. Looks like a growing problem; just started over the weekend. Now wondering if it had anything to do with the other problem; the D light indicator is blinking (not often but it does it from time to time) when you shift the truck out of park and into drive. I have checked all the wiring (that I can see) and all the fuses and pushed all to make sure that they are seated/housed properly. To be continued! I'm scheduling a trip to the dealer this week!

Ridgeline RTS 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,700 miles

This vehicle has only 25k in miles, it is only 3yrs and 7mos in my possession so warranty is out. The cluster display is failing. This tracks and displays the odometer, temp. trip etc. This is not a part that would be damaged or worn out from use but rather a defective piece. Honda is willing to contribute only $500.00 but not take care of it all. Moreover, Honda and the dealer insist that regulatory requirements (no one knows the agency that oversees this, though) cause me to spend an additional $180 over the part replacement cost of $980 to have the mileage set to what it currently is. I bought a Honda to have a vehicle that I could trust built by a company that was willing to stand behind it's product. Big mistake on my part. No more Hondas and to think I used to recommend this vehicle to truck owners.
