STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WENT TO TAKE OFF AND VEHICLE SHIFTED ODDLY, WENT ABOUT 500 YARDS STOPPED SHUT TRUCK OFF AND OUT POURED THE MILKY TRANSMISSION FLUID. ADDED TRANSMISSION FLUID TO GET IT HOME AND YOU COULD FOLLOW THE TRAIL THE ENTIRE WAY (APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE) AND EMPTY AGAIN (WE FILLED IT). OPENED THE OVERFLOW ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT AND THE SAME STRAWBERRY MILKY FLUID WAS IN THERE COMPLETELY FULL! ALSO OPENED THE RADIATOR TO FIND IT COMPLETELY FULL OF THE SAME STUFF. I HAVE READ MANY ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THANK GOD I WASN'T, I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE TRUCK! IT WOULD BE NICE FOR HONDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!! GOING TO A MECHANIC TODAY, WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE MAKING A PHONE CALL TO HONDA ONCE THE VERDICT IS IN! *TR

2006 HONDA RIDGELINE WITH 140,000 MILES. ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. DRIVING HOME ON 9/18/13 ON HIGHWAY, CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 65 MPH, CAR BEGAN TO LURCH FORWARD A FEW TIMES. GOT OFF AT NEXT EXIT AND REVS BEGAN TO RISE AS IF IN NEUTRAL. STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED FOR TOW TRUCK. NOTICED TEMP METER WAS HIGH, BUT WENT BACK DOWN TO NORMAL WITHIN 15 MINUTES. "STRAWBERRY MILK SHAKE" TYPE LIQUID THEN POURED ONTO PAVEMENT. TRUCK TOWED TO INDEPENDENT SERVICE STATION. THE STATION CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION COOLER, WHICH RESIDES WITHIN THE RADIATOR. APPARENTLY THE METAL CONNECTOR THAT SEPARATES THE TWO (CHEMICALLY INCOMPATIBLE) COOLANTS CORRODED, THE FLUIDS MIXED CAUSING THE TEMP TO RISE AND BOIL OVER, THE MIXTURE OF COOLANTS APPARENTLY DESTROYS BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION. SERVICE TECH'S HAVE RARELY SEEN THIS BEFORE ON OLDER TOYOTA 4RUNNERS, BUT NOT HONDA'S. HOWEVER AFTER SOME RESEARCH, THERE ARE DOZENS SIMILAR INCIDENTS REPORTED ON THE VARIOUS HONDA FORUMS WHICH INDICATE HONDA'S AWARENESS AND REFUSAL TO ISSUE A RECALL OR ASSUME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT RESULTS (LIKE MY $5,765 REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION, NEW RADIATOR, HOSE FLUSHES, ETC.). THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF IN A SAFE PLACE, BUT INJURIES CAN SURELY RESULT FROM THIS PREVENTABLE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA, WHICH BEGINS WITH PAYING FOR A DIAGNOSIS (2ND OPINION) FROM AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. THEY "WARNED" ME THAT THEY CANNOT CONSIDER HELPING ME UNLESS THE DEALER CONCLUDES THERE IS A CLEAR MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
FOUND OUT RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ON HONDA RIDGELINE HAS BEEN HAVING CATASTROPHIC FAILURES DUE TO TRANSMISSION LINE FAILURE. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN WRECKS DUE TO THE VIOLENT NATURE OF THIS FAILURE. THIS WOULD CAUSE IMMEDIATE PANIC TO MY PREGNANT WIFE AND SOON TO BE NEWBORN BABY GIRL. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY CONNECTION ON RADIATOR THAT CAUSES THIS ISSUE AND STILL HASN'T ISSUED RECALL. I BELIEVE THEY ARE ACTING NEGLIGENTLY TOWARDS FIXING THIS ISSUE. COME TO FIND OUT NISSAN HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR PATHFINDER AND HAS SINCE PERFORMED A VOLUNTARY RADIATOR ASSEMBLY PROGRAM (HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/RADIATOR/FAQS.PHP?MENU=22). HONDA ALSO DIRECTED US TO CONTACT NHTSA AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE FINE STAFF AT NHTSA WILL TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA AND COME TO A DECISION TO HELP CONSUMERS TAKE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THIS AND I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DO NOT HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WASHER USED AT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID JUNCTIONS IN THE RADIATOR. THE FITTINGS AND WASHER ARE MADE OF DISSIMILAR METALS. AS A RESULT, THE STEEL WASHER USED AS A SPACER RUSTS AND CORRODES, THEN SWELLS AND FORCIBLY PULLS THE THREADS FROM THEIR FITTINGS. A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF FLUIDS INCLUDING AN EXCHANGE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ENGINE COOLANT TAKE PLACE, RENDERING THE VEHICLE NOT ONLY INOPERABLE BUT ALSO PERHAPS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED. THESE FITTINGS FAIL AT RANDOM WITH NO OBVIOUS PATTERN OR ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSE. THE NORMAL "UNDERBODY RUST" DOES NOT SEEM TO CORRELATE WITH THIS FAILURE. I HAVE DONE SUBSTANTIAL RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND MANY OTHERS REPORT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE AND HAVE COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION. I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AS SUCH A DRAMATIC AND IMMEDIATE LOSS OF FLUID COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FAILURE, OVERHEATING, AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IF THE ENGINE WERE TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE WERE TRAVELING AT SPEED, A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER ASSISTED BRAKING WOULD OCCUR. ADDITIONALLY, FINDING A LOCATION TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IN ITSELF. THIS ISSUE COULD BE EASILY RESOLVED BY CEASING TO USE DISSIMILAR METALS IN THE RADIATOR FITTINGS. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THIS SAME DESIGN IS BEING APPLIED TO ALL HONDA RIDGELINE MODEL YEARS INCLUDING THOSE CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION. ALTHOUGH I CANNOT VERIFY THIS, I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS PARTICULAR PART IN THE 2009 MODEL YEAR REMAINED UNMODIFIED. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED, AS THERE ARE MORE AND MORE FAILURES OF THIS TYPE OCCURRING. IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OCCURS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ODOMETER 'HANGS' AND DOES NOT UPDATE THE DISPLAY TO REFLECT THE FACT THAT I'M DRIVING. PRESSING THE BUTTON TO SCROLL TO TRIPA AND TRIPB AND OIL LIFE DOES NOTHING. THEN THE DOOR OPEN INDICATOR ALSO 'HANGS'. SOMETIMES AFTER THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED THE DISPLAY COMES BACK TO NORMAL WITH UPDATED MILEAGE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2006 HONDA RIDGELINE (AS I DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET) AND REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT RUNS AROUND $1000. IT SEEMS THAT ALMOST ALL COMPLAINS ARE RELATED TO 2006 MODEL, WITH FEW SINGLE POSTS RELATED TO 2007 MODEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA RIDGELINE. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A GAP ON THE FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAUSING WATER TO SEEP INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAKING THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM INOPERABLE. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE SEAT BELT CONNECTOR, THE FRONT AIR BAG APRON, THE REAR AIR BAG APRON, THE AIR BAG REAR MODULE AND THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. THE MANUFACTURER GAVE HIM AN EXTRA WARRANTY PACKAGE BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TRANSMISSION FLUID OIL COOLER LINE EJECTS FROM RADIATOR AS A RESULT OF DISSIMILAR METAL CORROSION...A STEEL WASHER IS USED THAT BECOMES THE CATALYST FOR THE FAILURE. TRANSMISSION FLUID LOSS OCCURS THAT LEADS TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE, PUTTING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN DANGER. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT TRIGGER THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER FAILS TO BUCKLE THEIR SEAT BELT OR UNBUCKLES THEIR SEAT BELT WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A HONDA DEALER ON 07-31-12 AND BOTH FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLES OWNERS MANUAL INDICATES ON PAGES 8 & 59 THAT THE INDICATOR REMINDS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER TO FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELTS. THE HONDA DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA BOTH STATE THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT OFFERS NO SUCH WARNING AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE SYSTEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE LOVE OUR HONDA'S (3 OTHER), I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT MY PURCHASE OF A RIDGELINE FROM A LA DEALERSHIP IN DEC 2006. MY NEPHEW PURCHASED IT FROM HONDA FINANCE DIRECTLY AND SHIPPED IT TO UTAH FOR ME AND I HAVE METICULOUSLY CARED FOR AND LOVED MY RIDGELINE! IN DECEMBER AT 93,460 MILES MY TRUCK LOST ITS PERFECT HARMONY ... IT BEGAN PUTTING OUT WHITE/BLUE SMOKE. I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE THE ACCELERATOR TOOK OFF AND I HAD TO SHIFT DOWN AND BRAKE REAL HARD TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE SPEED. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-15 THROUGH SALT LAKE COUNTY AT THE TIME, SPEED AROUND 65 MPH. VERY SCARY! SOON AFTER THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I IDLED IT FLASHED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOMENT THAT THE CYLINDER "BLEW OUT". I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT MY #4 SPARK PLUG WAS "GUMMED" UP AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED MILEAGE I SHOULD DO A FULL VALVE REPLACEMENT. $785 LATER, THE SMOKE EXHAUST WAS THE SAME AND 3 WEEKS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY "SCOPED" THE CYLINDERS AND FOUND #4 HAD "POUCK" MARKS AND HAD LOST COMPRESSION. I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I CALLED 5 AUTO SHOPS IN MY GENERAL AREA AND FOUND THAT 2 OF THEM HAD SEEN THE SAME ISSUE WITH A 2006 RIDGELNE AND A 2007 PILOT. BOTH MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THE OWNERS HAD TAKEN THEM TO HONDA DEALERSHIPS & HONDA HAD REPLACED THEIR ENGINES, THEY "WERE UNDER 100,000 MILES". I DID SO, $97 LATER I WAS TOLD THAT "NO. HONDA HAD DEEMED MY SITUATION NOT WORTHY OF A WARRANTY." WHAT?! I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE WITHOUT THE $5K REDUCTION IN VALUE! I HAVE A HISTORY OF TIMELY AND METICULOUS CARE WITH MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND A MECHANIC SHOP, THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM HONDA! YOU MUST HAVE AN ISSUE IF IN MY LITTLE SUBURB 2 OTHERS HAVE HAD #4 CYLINDERS GO BAD JUST BEFORE 100,000 MILES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TOOK TRUCK TO HONDA DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING A NOISE AND SEEMED TO BE GRIPPING AFTER I WOULD RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. THEY TOLD ME I NEED NEW BRAKE PADS AND NEW ROTORS. THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKE PADS ARE METAL AGAINST METAL, THERE'S TOO MUCH RUST ON ROTORS. THEY WANT $554 FOR THE FRONT, $544 FOR THE REAR. I ASKED IF THIS WASN'T PREMATURE FOR SUCH A WORN BRAKE. I DRIVE THE HONDA 3 TIMES A WEEK ON AVERAGE, MORESO IN THE WINTER MONTHS, AND MY DRIVING HAS BEEN MOSTLY HIGHWAY SO I AM NOT DOING A LOT OF BRAKING. I AM NOT CERTAIN THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BY ANY MEANS. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WOULD BE ON SUCH LOW MILES. I WON'T BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN THE FUTURE THOUGH. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
PASSENGER SIDE REAR STRUT WAS REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 98,000 MILES DUE TO LEAKAGE AND NOISE. REPLACED WITH OEM PART. SAME NOISE RECURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 115,000 MILES. STILL MAKING THE NOISE. BOTH SWAY BAR END LINKS WERE REPLACED, WITH OEM PARTS, DUE TO SQUEAKING NOISE. DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SUSPENSION NOW MAKES LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BAD BUSHINGS CAUSING LOUD THUNKING NOISES. INNER TIE ROD END HAS FAILED, AND PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, STEERING:RACK AND PINION
THE STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING ON MY HONDA RIDGELINE. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL WAS AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. STEERING WAS NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY, BUT COULD BARELY STEER. I WOULD TURN THE WHEEL BUT LITTLE WOULD HAPPEN TO THE TIRES. I WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO FLUID LEAKS, NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE. THEY REPLACED THE RACK. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY OFFERED NOTHING SINCE THE WORK WAS NOT AT A HONDA DEALER. I STILL HAVE THE FAILED RACK - I KEPT THE BROKEN PART. HAD I BEEN DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR, I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CRASHED BECAUSE I HAD SO LITTLE CONTROL OVER MY TRUCK. *KB

HOW CAN I GET MY ODOMETER AND MILEAGE CORRECTED? THANK YOU. *KB
