Ridgeline 6-cyl

  • 47,500 miles
My 6 year old grabs the rear entry handle on the inside of the truck behind the driver seat to help her get in and out of the vehicle. Today when she grabbed it getting in the top part of the handle ripped right off the interior wall causing her to fall backwards. Thankfully she was not injured but she very easily could have cracked her head open on the pavement. The screws that holds the rear entry handle to the truck are very tiny. I cant tell if it just came loose and backed itself out, or if it stripped. If one of these handles breaks loose from a 45 lb child, I could only imagine the handle would be more prone to breaking if an adult used it. The handle breaking off could very easily cause a serious injury by someone falling as they enter/exit the vehicle. I will be taking my vehicle to the dealer next week to get this fixed hopefully.
