While driving on the highway, the BLIND SPOT INFO SYSTEM PROBLEM and TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM came on. Vehicle was driving normal but I notice all the BSI alert, Rear Camera stopped working. I drove the vehicle to Autozone. I had them.pull the DTC code which was P0741. While reading the ODB, the dashboard lit up, I clouding brake failure, the PRND came on. Once I got home, 49 miles later, I turned off the vehicle and when I restarted the DTC was gone. The vehicle currently has 132208. The DTC came on at about 132159.
Multiple occasions of vehicle lurching, jerky acceleration, and horrible noises when shifting gears at low speeds at 40,000-50,000 miles. Brought to Honda twice. They could not replicate the problem. It was unpredictable when this occur. Vehicle was returned at a huge loss of depreciation value in a short time for customer, who felt too scared to drive it anymore.
Torque Converter malfunctioned causing vehicle to bang into first gear with slow acceleration there after as I was accelerating/merging onto the highway. Tractor trailer that was coming up to where I was merging needed to swerve into other lane to avoid hitting me. Brought vehicle to dealer and they confirmed that my torque converter needed to be changed. There were no previous warning signs or warning lamps indicating there was a problem. Honda has a service bulletin out # 23-078 for faulty torque converter issue for my year but Honda dealer states that my VIN is not part of that service bulletin so I have to pay to replace the torque converter.

The engine light came on and cam shaft caused the rod bearing to fail. I see there is a recall 23v751. But my vehicle vin. Is not on it 2019 honda ridgeline
This is my second Honda ridgeline. The first was a 2014 model. This 2019 ridgeline has a distinctive metal knocking noise in the engine when running. The noise gets quite loud the colder the initial startup and under initial load. It gets quieter after running on the highway for a distance. I took it to the dealer several years ago but the noise was hard to hear after running the interstate for 20 miles. The mechanic told me there was "nothing wrong". I think there is. I know what this engine is supposed to sound like. This VIN number should have been in the 2023 Ridgeline engine recall.
Excessive wear on connecting rod or crankshaft bearings. While performing a pre-road trip oil change after only 1600 miles, I found a large amount of copper glitter metal particles in the engine oil. I have oil samples and the oil filter available for inspection. And I have pictures. If the bearings seize the engine will stop running possibly causing an accident. I had put just 15 miles on the fresh oil while driving it to the Honda dealer. They drained the fresh oil and said they did not find metal - not surprising because I had just changed it. They said the connecting rods weren't knocking and to drive it another 5000 miles then bring it back. I hear some faint knocking when the engine is cold that goes away as the engine gets warm.

Honda dealership told me to bring my vehicle in for NHTSA 22V867. They checked parts department and told me they had ample parts in supply. At the dealership I was told the wiring harness was inspected by them and was fine and would not be replaced. I was provided an invoice that stated “recall performed”. The service manager explained they do what Honda tells them, not what the NHTSA says. I inquired directly to Honda and they verified they do not do what the NHTSA says, only what Honda says. I would like the wiring harness replaced per the recall, per the ample supply Honda told me they have. The dealership verified twice to me they have an ample supply.
While driving info management system stops working, freezes then goes blank. Lose all digital indications on drivers display and nav cues. Would briefly flash every few seconds as though it was trying to restart. Has done this twice now in a new truck of only 26k miles. This occurred in motion and persisted until the vehicle was turned off and restarted. Dealer says without a 'code' they cannot do anything. Extremely dangerous loss of info while driving.

The hood flutters at certain times under turbulence at freeway speeds. It only happens when conditions are perfect so the dealer refuses to fix because he can't duplicate it. It happens in gusty winds or when driving around semitrucks.
I was driving at 65 Miles and I felt something wrong was happening, the hood was totally opened while I was driving .its was a windy day and I thought was the wind . I stopped and I closed it very well but the fallowing week I had the same issue with my car.

2019 Honda ridgeline. Consumer writes in regard to defective brake pedal. The consumer stated the vehicle had soft/spongy brakes and to correct the safety concern the master brake cylinder and brake booster both were replaced. The problem still persisted, so the consumer sold the vehicle on 07/27/22.
visibility 1 complaint shown
Leaking water on rear passenger side window, called the c pillar leak that is widespread. Mine happens after going through a car wash. Started like a trickle of water down and eventually gets worst. This is my 2nd 2019 ridgeline first one had a similar leak and they swap it due to lemon law application after dealer failed to fix after 2 attempts. Now I an having the same problem with the new one. Honda either unresponsive or not offering any customer service, certainly a factory defect that need to be corrected by tsb properly. Dealer is trying but Honda need to be waken up. I searched google and it has happen to other people to.
seatbelts 1 complaint shown
Rear seat belt behind passenger side (right) locks in place and will not move. To remedy this issue the belt needs to be unlatched and returned to the unused position. I cannot make the belt lock in place. I returned the vehicle to my dealer and reported the problem. They could find nothing wrong. This has reoccurred occasionally since I bought the truck. Our remedy is to not use that seat.

Experiencing odor in cabin when truck is idling. (smell like chemical coming from vent).
cruise control 1 complaint shown
About 5-8% of the time when I engage the cruise control, it will advance an additional 3-4 mph all by it self. This almost caused an accident on one occasion. I had it into the dealers for repair and they said it was normal. I never had a car that did this before.
