Interesting, thanks for the info! I'll check that out!

Does it happen when you're switching directions, like from reverse to forward or vice versa?

I haven't tried that specifically. I noticed it today just driving around town, just driving from one stop light to the next I could get the pop every time.

 

2019 Sport, 24k miles.
I've been noticing a single pop/clunk noise when accelerating from a stop. Seems to be coming from up front somewhere, possibly engine mount or chassis somewhere? Anyone experience this before?
Dreading having to take it to the dealer but I guess I should since it's still under warranty.

Thanks

Mine did it every time I hit the gas from a stop. Just as soon as the weight would transfer to the rear

Mine does it when I’m turning right up an incline. One pop only.
One pop only Vasili

 

I re-torqued every chassis bolt I could get to easily, including the big lower A-arm bolts that go through the compliance bushings. Took it for a short drive and it did seem better but was a little hard to tell since I was pulling a trailer also. Hope that did the trick!

What torque settings did you use?

 

Seems like a lot of people "dread" taking their Ridgeline to the dealer? Does Honda have a problem with their deal ship network?

 

I don't think it's Honda specifically, just all dealers in general. I like to do my own work. It's a lot of effort to drop the car off at the dealer and they may not even be able to reproduce the issue.

 

If it's under warranty, personally, I would try to take a video/audio recording of the issue, to prove it, and then take it into dealer, so issue can be "on record", whether they are able to reproduce or not. At the same time, I would be sure to share the "repro" recording w/ the service manager, so not only can they believe you that it's occuring, but that they know what you are doing to reproduce/locate the issue, so they can pass that along to techs.

But yes, my confidence is low, so I would ensure you make it easy as possible for the techs to pinpoint the problem.

 

Fergit it bluegrass, all dealers are scumbags, or worse, I get it!
