I have the above vehicle that has the vibration occurring, easily reproducible which I have done for my Honda dealer. All I have to do is go 53 mph, be in econ mode, set cruise control and then go up a slight hill or down a gentle slope and get a vibration in the steering wheel and can feel it in the seat of the truck. It has been in for the juddering tsb, had a new torque converter installed and a new rear motor mount. Its not as bad now as it was but its still there. At this point I am told that Techline says its a characteristic of the vehicle and there is nothing that can be done.
I had gotten a VCM Tuner II that I am going to be installing to see if that stops the vibration but wanted to let Honda fix it first. I have the extended warranty for 8 years 130k miles so I will most likely keep the truck until that runs out but probably won't be buying a Honda ever again. I am in Vermont now and the speed limit is 50 mph on most state highways, prior to this I was in Texas and California where 65 plus is legal. At the higher highway speeds you don't see this issue but it has become more of a problem now at the lower limits. Just want to put this out there for anyone looking at Hondas, this was not how I expected them to stand behind their vehicle. My dealer here has been great working with me on this and when I take the mechanic for a ride they can notice the vibration when it occurs also. I don't know how many other buyers of the Ridgeline still have this issue but would be interested in seeing how many on this board are dealing with this also.
