I purchased my Ridgeline about four months ago. After approximately 1500 miles I heard a creaking noise coming from the left front portion of the cab. Numerous attempts have been made to rectify this problem but to no avail.
Vehicle was dropped off 4 times, problem still present, over a six week period.

Dealership Attempts

1st Placed grease inside the left fender well, failed. Lasted less than 10
minutes
2nd Unable to correct, ordered new fender well foam block
3rd Dealer installed new foam block, lasted the ride home 5 miles
4th Dealer placed numerous amounts of sealant in fender well. Did not work.
5the Waiting to schedule another date for repair.

Steering wheel, speaker covers squeaks corrected.
Door linkage replaced.
Trans still hesitates. when slowing down and speeding up most noticable while turning, dealer is unable to duplicate at this time.
Any Suggestions, please let me know, Thanks

You can attribute your trans hesitation to your VSA. Turn it off and you will see the difference.

Ok HD, here is the awkard question, how much do you weigh? I will assume your name refers to a motorcycle and not you. However, if you are big enough that could be causing some of the squeeks. I think that is my problem, but I have had so many fords that I am used to them
