Hello ROC, I'm excited to be joining with a new 2022 RTL-E that I picked up this last weekend! Just over 150 miles on it and I love it so far. Super comfortable and I can tell it's going to be perfect for me. I have a few little things I'm worried about and I'd love to get some perspective from...

Hey guys, it's been a pretty smooth ownership of my RL. I've driven it in freezing and rainy conditions. Aside from a bad driver side rear door alignment, fuel pump & crappy infotainment I have nothing to complain about. Sadly last week I experienced my first gremlin. When I took my RL out, it...

…it turned out to be the brake pedal, at least from my initial troubleshooting. On the way back from work, I suddenly noticed halfway home that I couldn’t make the transmission kick down no matter how much I floored the accelerator. I got a bad feeling - I have a 2020 with the ZF9 transmission...

I have a new 21 RTL with 9 speed and I am experiencing very poor shift performance. When I take foot off accelerator, the vehicle hesitates, shifts randomly and decelerates - in regular, D or S settings ALSO in Econ mode D or S settings - most notable when “coasting” - at speed on downhill...

I believe this is a 5 speed in my 2012 RL. I've been doing some trouble shooting to an issue with a half shaft and manually shifting at higher speeds. I note when I put the RL in 3rd gear via the button on the gear knob it seems like it shifts 3 times when I put it back in full automatic as it...

Hello Forum members, I'm hoping for some advice/help with my new-to-me 2017 Ridgeline RTL-T. I owned a 2007 RTL in the past and just purchased the 2017. Here are the facts (I hate to be super wordy but wanted to give you the entire picture)... I bought the Ridgeline in South Dakota just over...

Hi Guys, I have a 2006 Ridgeline. I'm having issues with starting the truck and I think it may be something to do with bad sensors related to the transmission. Even though it's in park when I try to start it, often when I turn the key nothing happens. To get it to start I have put the...

Just purchased a 2017 Ridgeline with 78k. It’s the newest car I’ve ever dared to buy and I’m nervous. It’s like a date with a beautiful girl and I don’t want to make a mistake. Looks like oil changes were pretty regular and transmission fluid changed at 66k (not sure if triple drain and fill or...

My transmission started slipping so I pulled over and popped the hood to see fluid on the left of my engine compartment then noticed a puddle(reddish-brown) under the left side of my truck. I had it towed home. So come to find out, transmission fluid is routed through the radiator...who knew...

So a few weeks back I did some light off roading, mostly gravel roads and a few 2 tracks for a couple hours, mostly driving 10 to 30 mph in 3 to 6 inches of snow. A few days later as I was coasting to a light waiting for it to change, I got down to around 20 mph and the light turned green. I got...

Has anyone checked on the cost of a tranny fluid change? I was just quoted $340! In the past this was $130-$160 for my other Hondas.

Yesterday, I was sitting in the drive thru lane of fast food restaurant, when the transmission switched into neutral on its own, the engine sputtered and then it stalled out. I was able to restart the engine and continue driving. Five minutes later, I was sitting in the left turn lane of a major...

Was driving home after picking my kid up from daycare and was cut off by a SOB going 75-80mph. Upon accelerating again the engine had minimal to no power and by the time I pulled over to the shoulder I could smell a burning smell. The whole dash lit up with no distinguishable alarm. Had it towed...

Gather ‘round all and listen to the tale of a fool who seems to have done more harm than help. Once upon a time I had a Honda Civic and that Honda Civic developed bad struts, shortly after, my CV axles started getting in an uproar. Last night my CV axles and Koni struts came in so tonight I...

I’m about to purchase a 2017 EX-L with 55k km and will have it inspected beforehand by CAA (Canadian equivalent to AAA). How do I get them to verify that there are no injector nor tranny issues? My first Ridgeline and first post. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

I have a 3 month old RTL-E. When going down a slight hill from a stop (every time I leave the house) it seems to want to stay in low gear and the giving it a bit of gas it still doesn't want to shift to a higher gear because it seems stuck in 1st or second gear and any throttle action jerks my...

I am currently looking at replacing the rear differential, transfer case, and transmission fluids. I was wondering how many gallons/liters of each fluid I should buy to make sure I have enough?

My Ridgeline was great for the fist 30k miles and 3 years. I used D4 all the time for engine breaking. Now it has started this very strange behavior, and only when well warmed, maybe 30 minutes of driving. When first decelorating from say 45mph, in D4, all is normal, and as it has always...

Apparently I don’t understand how to use these. I’ve had a manual tranny for 26 years in another truck but these baffle me. Whether in Econ mode or regular mode when I have S mode selected, the transmission will shift up on its own, before I select paddle up. I wondered if it was a powertrain...

Last week my '07 Ridgeline (134K miles) rounded a corner and after a few seconds of intermittent engagement the engine disengaged from the drive. On pulling over / coasting to a stop and popping the hood, a quick survey found an overflow at the transmission cooler expansion tank. After pick up...
