Ridgeline

  • 7,000 miles
Two way tailgate back up camera wiring broke after only 7000 miles due to poor design, per lia Honda representative.this wire harness supplies back up camera viewing. After 7000 miles I was unable to see what was behind vehicle when backing up. Wires broke due to under engineered harness material. As tailgate can be open in 2 way, up/down and as a swinging out door, harness is not strong enough to endure sure repetitive motion. Dealer informed me that they are seeing many harnesses being replaced and there is now a back order of replacement harnesses. The newly installed harness is the same part number as new. It was and is not an updated camera wire harness. In conclusion this harness will also fail in the future.

On Sunday January 20th I was heading to montreal from toronto during a snow storm. About 2 hrs into the trip, someone cut in front of me, and I attempted to sound the horn, however it appeared it had frozen up, and barely worked. Along with a horrible exhaust vibration during the last 3 hours of my 6 hour trip. It appears that Honda isn't ready for winter as thry claim with their CRV ad at thier winter testing facitly.... this is a major safety issue not having a warning device during a snow storm, along with the accumulation of snow sticking under the vehicle causing a terrible exhaust noise.
