I am reporting unwanted, excessive acceleration for my 2010 Honda ridgeline. After turning into a parking lot, I was easing into my desired parking space and, since there was a slight incline, I lightly pressed the accelerator to inch further into the space. All of a sudden, to my surprise and without an opportunity to react, the truck accelerated greatly, propelling itself over a 5 inch curb, past two feet of space, and through the wall of a building. The force of the sudden impact was so great that the driver's side airbag deployed, the hood was bent and the front bumper was damaged - also punching a 3 foot wide hole into the side of the building, exposing its interior. *tr

Takata recall: I received the first letter of recall from american Honda on mar 29, 2016 followed by another letter on july 19, 2016. Enough to mention that I have hardly driven my truck since apr 1, 2016! These two letters were followed by several calls by the american Honda on june 30, july 07, july 18, july 29, & aug 17; 2016 informing me that my nearest Honda dealer would call me to offer a rental vehicle before both -- driver's side & passenger side -- airbag inflators are replaced. Except for the fact that they replaced my driver's side inflator on july 20, 2016, nothing has been offered to me so far. It was the only vehicle that I had until july 6th, 2016 -- after which I had to buy a small car on my own as a remedy because I didn't want to take the risk -- explained to me by the
Takata recall-I got the first recall for the driver's side and my vehicle stayed at the dealer for about 4 months. I just got the vehicle out in july-as I got home there was another recall for the passenger side now-I contacted the dealer and I am told that Honda will not provide alternate transportation for the passenger side-only on as needed basis-contacted gloria with american Honda-one of the most rude persons ever dealt with-explained to her that I carpool and take grandkids to their sporting events-she said have them all ride in the back as there is nothing that american Honda will do--if you have them ride in the front-they ride at their own risk....believe me if I could sue for just that-I would. My vehicle is now only giving me about 10/11 miles per gallon when it used to average

Takata recall - my 2010 ridgeline has been sitting at a dealer for the last 8 weeks waiting on the parts for the driver side airbag to come in. On top of that, another recall has been issued on the passenger side airbag! My contact at the dealer has been very nice and I do have a rental vehicle. However, it is absolutely ridiculous that this debacle is not being handled in a timely manner.
brakes 2 complaints shown
Brakes poorly stopping twice the distance as normal. Soft pedal was told by dearlship this is normal for truck. Brakes will not lock up with or without ABS fuse in place
On two separate occasions (about three weeks apart and no more than 500 miles) the brake pedal went to the floor without stopping the vehicle. Both times the conditions were dry and debris free. The first occasion occurred going up a hill to a stop sign and was not as noticeable. On the second occasion the brake failure happened coming off a highway ramp, and the vehicle did not stop with the brakes fully applied as we entered the intersection. The vehicle has been to two separate dealers, and because they were unable to recreate the problem when following protocol they were unable to find and fix the issue. *tr

While driving downtown at 4:30pm I was slowing to a stop light. The engine all of a sudden sped up throwing the vehicle forward. I continued to keep the brake on, but the vehicle kept pushing forward. I got to the stop light, just missing the pedestrian, put the vehicle in park, and the engine started racing and my husband told me to turn the vehicle off. We turned the vehicle back on but the engine started racing again so I turned it back off. I pumped the gas and started the vehicle again with no further problems for the rest of the night. The vehicle has 121634 miles on it.

Xm satellite radio volume is lower and has less bass than other sources. However, loading a cd in the changer and temporarily switching to cd then back to xm after every restart brings the bass, volume, and clarity back to expectations. Dozens of others are complaining of the same issue on forums and messages boards. I should not have to perform a "workaround" by cycling through modes on the radio after each restart just to have decent xm sound quality. *tr
