Hey Ridgeline Owners !!
I just traded in my Ridgeline for the new 2016 Pilot !!! Great vehicle . . .
You are probably asking yourself why I did this ???
I had a 2006 with 233,000 miles on it. Mechanically sound with no major problems except one !!!
There is an overlap seam on the inner fender inside the fuel filler and no visible weep holes . . . so water had been collecting there.
I noticed the rust starting about a year ago. It just started to bubble on the out side . . . I got an estimate to repair the
problem . . . $ 3-4,000.00. And no guarantee it would not start up again.
So please spray and dry out this area as much as possible.
I live in Ohio . . . and travel on the interstate a lot. So salt I am sure was a major factor !!!
Can't wait to see what the 2017 Ridgeline or redesigned pickup will really look like !!!
