NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2022 Honda Ridgeline. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
2022 HONDA RIDGELINE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE MALFUNCTION INDICATION ISSUE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE WINDOW'S MOTOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE NO CODES WERE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,258 MILES.
When entering a slight curve in the road, the steering wheel shakes and the dash says BRAKE. There is always a car in the oncoming lane, but well within its lane. I only have 1000 miles on the Ridgeline, but this has happened several times. In each instance the brakes were never applied, but it is quite unnerving. There are times when the shaking (vibrating) steering wheel is more violent which makes me think that it is close to applying the brakes. I had the same issue with my 2018 Accord. The dealer is aware but they say there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
Automatic highbeams do not go on gets dangerous when driving on dark roads
After 1h 45min ride on highway in 14F I was taking exit ramp and with only 500 miles on the truck the check engine started blinking, I pulled over shut off the engine, started it back up and all was good, went to dealer and they said no code was stored
The wireless charging pad does not work, no matter what position the phone is. I have tried with the case off, so that's not the issue. And I've also tried multiple phones. It pretends to power on and start charging but then it stops in less than a minute, even WITHOUT driving the car....so the phone has no chance to move.
The automatic high beam system is very erratic. It fluctuates between high and low beam randomly on rural roads when it should be in steady high beam. It also randomly changes to high beam when oncoming vehicles are approaching causing the other driver to be blinded and flash their high beams. Vehicle has been in for service twice and the service center says the system is functioning as designed. I have a 30 minute video available which shows the erratic function as well as the high beam at oncoming traffic if needed. It is more than 3 GB large and exceeds your file limitations.. This is an ongoing problem that occurs whenever the automatic high beam function is activated. I only turn it on to get video documentation of the problem.
The Automatic High Beams do not always turn off when an oncoming vehicle approaches. There seems to be an issue with the way the system operates in general. They do turn on when expected. They stay on when they should be off. They shut off when they should be on. Dealer states that they do not detect any fault codes in the system and can not troubleshoot any further. Dealer loaned me a 2020 CRV that performed as expected under the same driving conditions. There seems to be a lot of complaints on the internet over the past couple of years. Surprised that Honda has not fixed this safety issue. Thanks!
The auto headlight dimming is not functioning properly and blinds oncoming traffic quite frequently. This seems to be a known issue when investigated. It is a feature sold with the vehicle as standard equipment on this trim level. It is marketed as a convenience to assist with dimming if the operator misses the opportunity to dim for oncoming traffic. If I engage this feature, it rarely dims, and I am routinely flashed. It is concerning for the safety of the opposing vehicles, as well as road rage that could develop from not dimming for the oncoming drivers.
The automatic highbeams do not work as intended. They sometimes blind oncoming traffic and other times not switch to high for better driver visibility.
