ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

ENGINE
I BACKED MY 2010 HONDA RIDGELINE OUT OF MY GARAGE. IT WAS A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO MY BASKETBALL HOOP SO I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD. THE TRUCK TOOK OFF LIKE A JET AND ACCELERATED ABOUT 20 FEET FORWARD UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED DOWN AND MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE AND THE BRAKE WAS COMPLETELY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. I AM THANKFUL NOBODY GOT HURT. IT DID A NUMBER ON THE RIDGELINE AND MY GARAGE. A SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO IN THE BEST BUY PARKING LOT. I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT JUST TOOK OFF WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND ME AND THE BRAKE FINALLY TOOK HOLD. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

ON MARCH 30, 2013. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM. WE STARTED TO HEAR A LOUD THUMPING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AT SPEEDS AROUND 60MPH, OF WHICH MY PASSENGER STARTED TO VIDEO THE SOUND. BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY , THERE WAS SILENCE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR SECTION OF THE ROOF AND PARTS OF THE REAR WINDOW FRAME FLEW OFF IN MOVING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH. I DID REPORT THIS TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS I WAS NOT SURE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN HIT BY ALL THE FLYING DEBRIS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
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

SERVICE BRAKES
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

WHEELS
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER DRIVING THROUGH ABOUT 8" OF SNOW, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE SO BAD HAD TO PULL OVER AND CHECK THAT THE WHEELS WERE TIGHT. THIS WAS CAUSED BY SNOW ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM ICE WOULD ROLL AROUND ACTING LIKE A WHEEL WEIGHT .THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THEIR CAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A POOR DESIGN TODAY IS 2/1/2011 IN BOSTON IT SNOWED ABOUT 7" DRIVING HOME THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN .I HAD TO CLEAN OUT THE SNOW FROM THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS AFTER DRIVING THROUGH DEEP SNOW.

EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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
