2022 Honda Ridgeline Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“Purchased a new Honda RTL-E Ridgeline 3 days ago... Traded in a 2017.. Both have auto high beam feature.. The 2022 is erratic, at times fails to operate (engage the high beams even after surpassing the 45 MPH cut in speed. In addition to that, the high beams fail to remain on…”

“The automatic high/low beams do not work properly. The do not go to high beam when they are suppose to and they do not dim when they are suppose to. Any reflective device along the road will cause them to either dim or brighten. When an approaching vehicle is coming toward me…”

“The auto headlight dimming is not functioning properly and blinds oncoming traffic quite frequently. This seems to be a known issue when investigated. It is a feature sold with the vehicle as standard equipment on this trim level. It is marketed as a convenience to assist…”

“Driving on interstate in 10 degree F weather. Exited interstate on exit ramp. Stopped at end of ramp. Light turned green so I accelerated and the check-engine-light began flashing, engine shook a little bit, and I could no longer drive over 30mph. Multiple people behind me…”

“While taking an exit ramp to a different interstate I slowed down before the turn and then, when accelerating to merge onto the other interstate, my Ridgeline "check engine" light began flashing and the vehicle began to limp along at a maximum speed of ~40MPH”

“Vehicle goes into limp mode, limited power, flashing check engine light This happens after extended period on highway (hour or more) below 20 degrees F. When you exit highway and come to a stop. All good as soon as you try to accelerate CEL starts flashing and I have reduced…”

“The truck has had ~6 occurrences since purchased where the engine briefly loses power in highway cruising speeds between ~50 and 75mph At first we thought it was a safety feature or governor on the truck – or a malfunctioning of the Auto-idle”

“This week it occurred (Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024) on I95 in Virginia when going down hill at approximately 70 mph. The engine ceased without warning and the steering and brake pedal began to freeze up when I had eased off the gas to coast briefly down hill”

“I was changing lanes at about 75 MPH, and the tachometer dropped to zero despite my further depressing the accelerator. I took my foot off and again depressed the accelerator and the engine reengaged. I have not had the dealer look at this yet”

“When stopped at a red light and idle engine auto-stop engaged the vehicle displayed battery warning light and a “Shift to Park” message on display. Vehicle had to be shifted into park and restarted manually before it could move”

“Was stopped at a traffic light and idle-stop had engaged. Released brake and vehicle failed to restart. Multiple attempts to restart before it actually started. Many dash indicators were lit, but I was too frantic to notice which. Was in heavy traffic and it was very…”

“My Honda Ridgeline 2022 stalled out at a red light in [XXX] on XXX and ,in [XXX] cross-section also on XXX. It again stalled Exit [XXX] at the red-light stop on XXX. I took the truck to Dover Hona Dealer down here in [XXX]. They said 'they tested…”

“I bought a new 2022 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E February 2022. Drove it 100 miles and was driving down the road 40 mph with no one in front or behind. The brake warning light came on and the ABS locked up. The dash lit up and said "Collision Mitigation System Problem"”

“The Honda Sense forward facing radar that causes the dash to show BRAKE and also brake on your behalf is poorly implemented and comes on in varying conditions... from two lane roads to no cars on the road at all. I live in an area with many two way windy roads and any car…”

“Came up to a turn light, it was green. Went to make the turn and the vehicle slammed on the brakes. No car in front of me. Car behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me because the car stopped so quickly. Lacerations to my neck from the seatbelt”

“My engine seized up at only around 74,859 miles. As I was driving it immediately seized up on the roadway causing a hazardous condition. There was no check engine light on to warn me. I had the vehicle towed to dealership and had them inspect the vehicle and take the engine…”

“After 3 miles, the CEL flashed and displayed code P0303 cylinder 3 misfire. I pulled to the side of the busy interstate I was on and turned the vehicle off. When I restarted the engine, a heard a rattling sound and turned it off. I then called the dealer and asked me to have…”

“The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine was abnormally loud before the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that the sound was extremely loud like the rod bearings were banging together. Additionally, several unknown warning lights were…”

“The wireless charging pad does not work properly. I’ve tested with 3 different Apple iPhones and they will start to charge for a few seconds, then it will stop changing. Sometimes it will resume charging for a few seconds and then stop again”

“Honda Wireless Charger does not work. I took it to the dealer, and the dealer confirmed it was not working and that Honda knows that this is an issue. This truck was bought new from the dealer and Honda knew this is an issue”

“The wireless charging pad does not work, no matter what position the phone is. I have tried with the case off, so that's not the issue. And I've also tried multiple phones. It pretends to power on and start charging but then it stops in less than a minute, even WITHOUT driving…”
