2007 Honda Ridgeline RTX 3.5 V6 from North America

Faults:

The rear wheel assembly (IE, differential, axles, wheels etc.) broke off the unibody due to rust eating through that part of the body/frame that attaches to this wheel assembly! Since there is no real frame, it is not possible to weld the assembly to the unibody. It appears as though the car cannot be repaired and is now useless.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

This review explains how this vehicle is not a typical pickup.

Well my 2006 Ridgeline did the exact same thing - rusted through! Now it is unusable.

I used to say the same thing with the El Camino and the Ranchero in the past. A real compromise. Buy a full size pickup and you have it all well covered the very first time. And a car for other times.

2007 Honda Ridgeline RTS 6 CYC from North America

Summary:

My Honda Ridgeline is a $30,000 LEMON

Faults:

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...

You should be telling people to buy American, all these imports are what got us into this mess in the first place.

No it wasn't the imports that got us in this mess - it was the complacency of the Big Three, and how two of them needed the taxpayers to bail them out of a mess of their own making.
