2007 Honda Ridgeline RTS review from North America
"My Honda Ridgeline is a $30,000 LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My initial review went to the comments page. MY RIDGELINE IS A LEMON!!! With only 5,000 miles, the trans. light went off. The day after I got it back, it went off again. Next, the instrument cluster was replaced (resulting in a squeaky dash). Round #1 with the squeaky dashboard. Round #2 with the squeak and the rubber windshield seal (Honda Corp. techs. even looked at it). Round #3 with the squeak and rubber seal resulted in no change. Round #4 with the squeal and seal was incredible. The dealership scheduled me in, then refused to work on it when I arrived. It's now November 29th. My problems started on the last week in September...
General comments?
I enjoyed owning my first new vehicle for about five months. With the problems I've encountered and the dealerships terrible treatment, I will never own another Honda again. Honda Corp. has also been a treat to work with. They refused to take any responsibility. All of the reviews that I read about this truck were sparkling. Consumers Reports rated it high. BUT, of the four people that I personally know that own a Ridgeline, three of us have had multiple mechanical problems. Don't take the chance - buy a Toyota...
