2020 Ridgeline was in limp mode after check engine light came on. Restarted the vehicle and it ran fine, but held obd code P170B "dog clutch" problem. Currently at dealer, who indicated it may need transmission repair. Only 8000 miles, very disappointed, I bought the Honda for reliability. Any other owners had this problem?

Can only wonder with a tandem axle RV in your profile background; what is the dry weight and tongue weight? We have a single axle at 3300. with a tandem I am guessing north of 4k before the wife, kids, beer, etc. ..not in that priority.
that's an old picture, not sure why it popped up with my profile. used to haul that with an F250 deisel. I use the Ridgeline to tow a 16" fishing boat and a 6x10 enclosed trailer, both of which are less than half the 5000lb towing limit.
