while driving, something from the road punctured the fuel tank. fuel poured from the tank in a matter of minutes. the consumer contacted the dealer. the consumer felt the fuel tank was too soft if it could sustain a hole like the one in it. *ak *sc *jb
we got our ridgeline on march 12 a few days that they had been out, only the second that the duval honda had sold. and we have done nothing but love that truck. on friday 11/25/05 on my way to work, i ahd been driving about 5-8 mintues and then i smelt something a little strange.........coming out of the ac vent. i turned the heater off......the smell of smoke started to get heavier and heavier. i looked into the vent and noticed that there was smoke and fire billowing inside.....not sure where it was coming from...i got out of the truck, called fire/rescue, and began to get most of the belongings that i could. the truck was fully involved by time fire/rescue arrived on scene. i must say that, back in septmber i noticed that the radio which is still stock was wired incorrectly, i mentioned it the last time that i took the baby in for servicing. they said that they would have to take the dash out and have it re-wired the correct way. and that it would be an all day affair, i havent had the time to have that done, and my dealer doesnt offer loaner cars. am i saying that this is the reason that this happened? i am not sure. as anyone had anything simular?? *nm

truck bed scratches contrary to advertising of scratch resistance. honda advertising no bed liner required. if you do not use drop cloths the bed looks like a child was left alone with a white crayon. *nm
my brand new, honda ridgeline provided a less-than impressive performance. with a 45 mph impact to my front end - driver side, and door, my seat belt kept me from serious injury. not the airbag, since the only one that deployed was the passenger side! yes, the police, paramedic's, accident investigators and tow truck driver were all were curious about my ridgeline and were very concerned that the airbags did not deploy on the side of impact, the driver side. having 2 children, six and two years old, it is imperative that i have a vehicle that is considered as the safest in its class. i have been left with significant concern over any other unexpected problems that the honda ridgeline may reveal. this leaves me rather curious over finding an explanation as to what happened? what will you need to know to determine whether this may be a trend or flaw in the safety of the new ridgeline or some other reasonable explanation?*jb
hesitation occurs consistently when speed is under 10 mph and then try to accelerate. was leaving parking lot of convenience store rolling to exit stepped on the gas to get into traffic and truck hesitated for 2-3 seconds putting me into traffic with no power for those 2-3 seconds. traffic had to brake for me. i believe this is a safety factor to be considered especially since i have two children usually with me. i had called honda about this problem and they were familiar with it. if they were familiar why didn't they inform me of that before i spent $32,000 for the vehicle. when i test drove the truck i did not feel this hesitation as it started after i had 150 miles on it. they tell me it's drive by wire or something of this nature and basically have to live with it. *jb

honda ridgeline 2006 has considerable hesitation when accelerating from under 10 mph, especially when turning. i was leaving the parking lot of convenience store rolling at about 5 mph and then tried to accelerate out into faster moving traffic. vehicle hesitated for about 3 seconds which put me in a position where cars on the roadway i was entering had to brake. hesitation is constant and consistent since purchase of the truck. now i currently have 2000 miles on vehicle. called honda and they say it's normal for the system of "drive by wire". i have another family member with same vehicle, he has no hesitation. honda refuses to fix or at least look into my problem as they continue to say it's normal. *jb
