The plastic fuel line coming from the gas tank cracked and there is no way to replace a small hose and Honda make me purchase a brand new tank for a repair of $2000 that should have been covered under warranty. The line failed at 25,000 miles

On numerous occasions (at least 5 times) the following occurred: Upon exiting the highway after approximately 90+ minutes of driving, the truck's check engine light starts flashing and the vehicle goes into "limp mode" and will barely accelerate to avoid oncoming traffic from behind. The vehicle must be stopped and turned off to clear the engine light and return to normal performance. The on-board computer does not store any diagnostic codes when this occurs. There are numerous documented incidents exactly like this one on the Honda Ridgeline Owners forum. I have taken my truck to the dealer three times with no resolution. The dealer consults with Honda Tech support, who is unsure how to solve this issue. Assorted repairs have been documented on the aforementioned Honda forum, to no avail. This is definitely a safety issue when the truck loses power in traffic. I have almost been hit from behind while the vehicle is in limp mode. The initial occurence happened in November 2021 and most recently again April 16, 2022. Essentially for a year and a half Honda has done nothing to fix this problem.

On two occasions, I was driving at freeway speeds in a cold climate for about an hour. I decelerated onto an off ramp. Upon acceleration, I received a flashing check engine light and reduced power. I was able to limp home at decreased speeds. I was able to pull codes P0304 - cylinder 4 misfire, P0305 - cylinder 5 misfire, C342D - manufacturer control. The problem went away after restarting the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to see any codes or reproduce the issue.
