Re: If I could, i'd return my 2008 ridgeline

Don't panic! I had a similar problem. Was it the road? Who knows. At 5K miles I rotated the tires front to back. Problem solved!! I just did another rotation, front to back, and feared the worst because now it was configured as when I purchased it. Took it for a drive and it was straight as an arrow! I have no idea what originally caused the problem but it appeared to be gone, for now anyway. There's been a lot written about this subject with several possible solutions. Why it's there so frequently I have no idea but it's obviously a common problem and Honda has to be aware of it. Why they don't address it properly with the customer instead of the run-around game is anyone's guess. If they would just address it when it comes up it would save a lot of folks a lot of grief. This is why I do all my routine service and only get to the dealer for warranty work. After the warranty is out I'll go to a good local independent Honda shop. I just don't need the dealer runaround. I can put up with it on the sales floor because I expect it there. I've had lousy experience with my Acura (MDX) dealer and I won't let them do it to me again! My recommendation, as I have said many times, is to purchase the shop manual (approx $70) and educate yourself to the routine stuff. You'll be money ahead and more in "one" with your vehicle. JMHO
