The contact owns a 2014 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V430000 (Structure), the contact discovered severe corrosion on the rear frame of the vehicle. An independent mechanic refused to service the vehicle due to the extent of the corrosion. A dealer confirmed the frame failure but provided no assistance with the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed the contact that parts were unavailable, and a vehicle buyback would be offered. The contact was promised a follow-up call from the manufacturer; however, the contact had not heard back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.

I responded to a recall for my 2014 Honda Ridgeline on October 19, 2023. I have gone through recalls before and did not think much of it until the dealership informed me that my vehicle was "CONDEMNED". I have been calling Honda America ever since and they are not responsive. I was given a case manager as of October 23rd but this case manager cannot get me a loaner vehicle or any other information on how Honda America will make me whole. I have one car in my family and we live in a rural area with no public transportation. If Honda is going to issue a recall and find no remedy they MUST be held accountable and must be responsive to people like me who needs a car to get to work. The Honda dealership made me sign a waiver saying I assume all responsibility if anything happens which is outrageous. I requested a loaner vehicle and they denied the request. I asked that my case be expedited and it's been 3 weeks with no word.

My local dealership, Wesley Chaple Honda, in Wesley Chaple Florida, cannot get the tool required to perform the recall /repair of the rusted gas tank belt support that the recall no. 22V430 refers to. I purchased the 2014 Honda Ridgeline in Butler, PA in 2014 and is considered the rust belt region which is causing the corrosion of the support. Honda claims there are not enough Ridgelines in Florida to supply the local dealership with the necessary repair parts and the special tool required to make the correction. The Honda Corp. customer support just says to take the vehicle back to the dealership for the recall, but the dealership here cannot perform the recall without the proper tool.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Paint defect for 2014 Honda Ridgeline How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? NA Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dealership auto body shop said that the car's paint seems to have a defect such as clear coat is gone on car that is why it is peeling badly which is resulting to rust. I do not know if the paint had been improperly applied or issues with chemical composition of the paint that lead to premature chipping and wear that is occurring with the car. I had a 2007 honda pilot older than the 2014 Honda Ridgeline and it is not even peeling and rusty like the ridgeline. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? By Martin--email Martin.Rehfeldt@russdarrow.com who is the body shop manager at Russ Darrow Honda. I brought it to Honda Corporation's attention at acs@ahm.honda.com Case #: 12815491 and they refuse to assist claiming that there is no recall and it is considered "normal wear and tear" which I do not believe that in my case is the truth. There have been several complaints about Honda ridgeline's customers who are unhappy about the peeling paint. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Started toward at the end of 2021 and then had it estimated in Mar 2022, cost over $10,519 for the paint alone. For a paint job that cost over $10519 that means that there must be something wrong with the car to being with during manufacturing. It should NOT be blame on normal wear and tear. Solution: I would appreciate for Honda to do a courtesy repair on the car such as a new paint job at their own expense. Perhaps NHTSA should contact and research about folks who are in the same position as I am with the peeling paint.

There was significant water infiltration on left side front at location around and below fuse block and parking brake. Soaked insulation up to driver side seat and back to the windshield on the same side were noted. Water infiltration after heavy rain was severe enough to cause audible parking brake alarm that wouldn't clear completely until the area had partially dried. This alarm is loud enough and persistent enough to cause driver distraction and would become intermittent as carpet dried. insulation had to be removed after it was noted still wet after three days of no rain and with what appeared visibly as black mold near steering column at floor board. This appears similar to water infiltration addressed in the Honda service bulletin 07-082 for the 2007 and 2008 year models of the Ridgeline truck.

Safety Recall for rear subframe rust was "performed" at local dealer. Quality of work was questioned in that safety recall indicated dealer would removed corrosion on said subframe and apply anti-corrosive wax. Dealer notes they applied some anti-corrosive wax and some undercoating to a small section but did not coat ALL corrosion areas they cleaned. I had area reviewed by independent repair shop who noted the area was a concern and should be coated in the near future to prevent further corrosion and damage to frame. After discussing this with the dealer service department they informed me that was my job and my expense and told me to "have a nice day" and hung up. Is this appropriate behavior for a safety related item that could result in a fuel tank detachment or fuel leak?

Since january I have stepped on ther brake pedal at lease 6 times and the pedal has gone almost to the floor. I release the pedal and it came back up to the original position. The dealer did brake maintenance on the front. Said the pads were sticking. Recomended new pads and rotors. I okayed new pads and rotors be done. They also did maintenance onthe rear axle brakes. Yesterday the brake pedal went down to the floor 2 times in 5 minutes. this was all done at the dealership. this morning I dropped the 2014 honda ridgeline at an independent auto shop to see if they can solve this problem.

While driving , applied brake and pedal went to the floor car would not stop! Replaced brake master cylinder (typical repair) this did not fix issue. Im am told the the ABS modulator caused this failure. The master cylinder IS understandably a dangerous failure point however I have never heard of an ABS modulator causing this issue which can be deadly . The car only has 90K miles which also IS an issue as this IS not a typical failure. I was able to avoid a collision but im wondering if this should be looked into closer and if there are others that have had this problem but did not recognize the failure point since the part IS not suppose to fail in this manner .

In december 2016 I began to notice billowing clouds of blue smoke from my exhaust pipe on startup. on watching the problem for the next couple of weeks I noticed that it happened intermittently, usually (but not always) when the engine was cold. following the initial blue cloud (definitely not black or white smoke), any exhaust gases became invisible (but I am unable to determine whether my truck was smoking from the exhaust when I was driving). I also noticed that when I started it up while in the driveway (with the intention of pulling the truck into my garage), even if there was no smoke visible the garage would fill with fumes ? It was so bad that I would have to hold my breath, exit the truck, and sprint into my house to avoid inhaling those fumes. it quickly became apparent to me (as an amateur mechanic) that somehow oil was finding its way into the combustion chamber and was being burned, resulting in the smoke & fumes. I therefore took the truck to the honda dealer in order to have them isolate and repair the problem. later in the day [xxx] phoned to say that their service technicians had not been able to replicate the problem, therefore had done no service to the truck, and that I should come pick it up. when I asked what diagnostic service had been performed, [xxx] told me that they had started the truck several times and let it run for several minutes, all the while visualizing the exhaust pipe to see if there was any smoke: there was none. therefore they seemingly decided that there must not be any problem and that my complaint was not valid. to summarize: my ridgeline IS burning oil, which presents a health and safety issue for me; clouds of blue smoke and fumes are being discharged into the environment; and I have been insulted by the service manager at vacaville honda when I tried to have this problem corrected. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation to determine if the failure of airbags to deploy during severe crashes, in certain vehicles, was the result of a safety related defect. During the investigation a complex failure was studied that can result in non-deployment of subject vehicle air bags and other restraint system devices in severe crash events. The subject vehicles may be equipped with an airbag control unit (ACU) for the supplemental restraint system (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) manufactured by ZF-TRW. The ECU receives signals from crash sensors mounted in the vehicle and deploys the vehicle air bags and seat belt pretensioners in accordance with manufacturer design specifications. The ECU in the subject vehicles contains a model DS84 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which controls the communication of the crash sensor signal, firing commands (i.e., when to deploy the airbag(s) and/or pretensioners), and fault information (e.g., diagnostic trouble codes). In September 2016, FCA announced recall 16V-668 for certain model year (MY) 2010 to 2014 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep products manufactured with the subject ZF-TRW ACU. In this recall, FCA discussed an EOS condition that resulted in a failure of the subject DS84 ASIC, which caused air bag non-deployment. FCA noted that the defect condition had only been observed in vehicles equipped with sensor harnessing routed across the front of the vehicle. Other FCA vehicles that also used the subject ACU, but were not equipped with cross-car harnessing, had not experienced EOS failures, despite similar time in service. During the course of this investigation, ODI sent two separate Information Request (IR) letters to six vehicle manufactures (including FCA, Hyundai, Honda, Kia, Mitsubishi, and Toyota) and one IR letter to ZF-TRW. These IR letters resulted in ODI receiving comprehensive data from these manufacturers and suppliers. Studies of this data found that the DS84 ASIC does not have sufficient protection against negative electrical transients or electrical overstress (“EOS”) that can be generated in certain severe crashes. An electrical transient occurs when the electrical power supplied to a circuit changes momentarily over a short duration of time. In these severe crash cases, the crash sensors and other powered wiring can be damaged and short circuited so as to create a negative electrical transient of sufficient intensity and duration (that are outside the vehicle manufacturer's specification) to damage the ASIC before the restraint device deployment signal is received by the SRS ECU. This damaged signal can lead to incomplete or nondeployment of the air bags and/or pretensioners. Airbag non-deployment and/or lack of pretensioner operation can increase the risk or severity of injury in a crash.A total of 8 fatalities and 14 injuries were associated with known EOS events. The common element in all investigated manufacturers vehicles is the SRS ECU containing a DS84 ASIC manufactured by ZF-TRW. The risk associated with the ASIC is equally shared among all OEMS involved in the investigation. The actual real-world risk can be mitigated by other factors which were assessed by ODI during this investigation. The first mitigating factor involves protections built into the ACU design which protect the DS84 ASIC from damage. There are multiple strategies and levels of protection employed by different OEMs that provide effective EOS mitigation. The two most common strategies at the ACU level are circuit protection diodes on the remote senor signal lines, and current limiting resistors that protect critical components. The second mitigating factor is found at the vehicle level and involves the location and routing of the wires leading from the crash sensors to the SRS ECU. If the wires are well protected in a crash and are not routed with other power wires carrying large currents, the risk for an EOS event is significantly reduced or eliminated. These design specific factors combine to produce a spectrum of risk for the vehicles equipped with ACUs using the DS84 ASIC. Given the many of years of field exposure, it is possible to divide the subject population into two groups; vehicles which have experienced EOS events, and vehicles which have not experienced EOS field events. Four of the six OEMs involved in this investigation have experienced EOS field events on at least one of their models equipped with a DS84 ASIC. All vehicle models (including the Toyota models identified in the Failure Report Summary of the opening resume for this investigation) with field events have been recalled. In an abundance of caution, ODI kept this investigation open five years to monitor field performance and did not identify any field events on vehicles not included in existing safety recalls. Given the spectrum of risk identified in this investigation and that all vehicles with a demonstrated unreasonable risk have been recalled, ODI is closing this investigation. ODI is closing this investigation with the following manufacturer safety recalls: 16V-668, 18E-043, 18V-137, 18V-363, and 20V-024. With the recall actions taken by the subject vehicle and equipment manufacturers, this investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exists on other model or model year vehicles outside of the recall scopes. The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
