#349 of 414 Re: Love my ridgeline rtl woman owner [plist] by trinay Mar 18, 2007 (12:37 pm)
Replying to: plist (Mar 17, 2007 4:15 pm) Oh I would think you work for Honda to post a message like this. If you truly were chevy owners, you would know Chevy can build trucks. Honda has built a truck and has not yet worked out all the problems. I have always owned GM and my sister has always owned Honda with never any problems. So when Honda came out with this truck I absolutely loved it. And, I still love this truck, but I am pretty sure it was built on a Monday morning. I don't understand why you put woman owner in your title as it has no bearing on anything. But seeing as gender is important to you I will let you know I am a woman Ridgeline owner as well. As a matter of fact when I re-read what you wrote about Chevy owners I am convinced you work for Honda. Reason. If you really did your homework you would see the many people who have had leaks in their Ridgelines. And for the record, leaks in the trucks were more apparent with strong rain, or rainy days period, and not from using your hose exactly. PS Sales people do not normally own them, they are demos.

Replying to: robert126 (Oct 12, 2005 5:13 pm) I have had the same problem ever since I bought my ridgeline a year ago. They are saying the same thing to me. Now I have a company mediator coming out Wed. to see what the problem is. I told the dealer if honda knew there was a hesitation in the engine then they should tell the customer and let us decide from the information if we still want to buy the truck or not. I would not have. It has almost stalled crossing a four lane intersection and at 15 mph it almost always jerks and hesitates. That is a very unsafe feature in any auto.
#353 of 414 Luv my Honda by gx4me May 22, 2007 (12:40 pm)
I leased my Silver RTL in May 2005. I have 35K Plus miles on her and have had one minor problem. A noisy sunvisor, apparently it's plastic, was broken and rattled. I also had the diff fluid changed at 15k miles when it looked fine, but the code came up. I get 22 mpg with no air on, windows, sunroof open, 70 mph on cruise. City gets around 18+ mpg. It is a fun truck to drive with enough power and room for me (6'-2" 250lbs). The tire pressure monitor saved me tires twice. All in all, a nice vehicle. I will lease another or buy this one in '08.   hessitation - There is a recall on the fuel pump relay which might be causing your problem. Just had mine in for it! (I had no symtoms)   Good luck!

#355 of 414 Unlocking doors when shifting into Park by jbhansen Jun 06, 2007 (8:33 am)
Just got a new 2007 RTL w/Navi this past weekend. I read through all the posts on this board, and noticed three posts (#23, #67, and #78) saying there was no way to program the doors to unlock when shifting into Park. I don't know if this was specific to the 2006 model, but I successfully programmed my doors to unlock w/Park. Procedure is:   1) Make sure transmission is in Park (which it should be if the engine is off) and the driver's door is closed. 2) Turn the key to the "ON" position. 3) Push and hold the rear of the master door lock switch. 4) Second click (after about 5 seconds) sets the driver door only to unlock w/Park. 5) Continue to press and hold. Third click (after about 10 seconds) will set all doors to unlock w/Park. 6) Release the switch. 7) Turn key to "Accessory" position within 5 seconds.   All procedures for various lock/unlock scenarios begin on page 84 of the 2007 owner's manual.

Replying to: jbhansen (Jun 06, 2007 8:33 am) You referenced very low message numbers, from quite a while back.   When the Ridgeline first came out, the door auto lock and unlock feature did not work the way it currently works. (Doors remainded locked when placed into Park.) There were many complaints about this, and fortunately Honda changed the programming control. They also developed a procedure to change the early models, but it was a somewhat complex change, involving actual wiring changes.   I think the current procedure is they auto lock when put into gear, and auto unclock when put into Park. With other variations possible. My dealer specifically as me how I wanted to have this set up when I took delivery.   And yes, you can change these options via instructions in the owners manual.

Replying to: gx4me (May 22, 2007 12:40 pm) Double ditto   I have (well had), and 2006 RTS Sept 05 build. Only issue was the door recall for the plastic clips. Gas mileage was as advertised. I really miss my RTS. After a short year of ownership my sister and husband bought it. (I got deployed to Germany for 2 years). but, I can't wait to return home and in 09 buy RTL with navi.   I pick up 08 Land Rover LR2 - cross your fingers for good luck with this. Drive much like the RL.
#358 of 414 Gas mileage while towing question ...................... by norcalmike2 Jun 15, 2007 (4:34 pm)
Hi folks, as this seems to be the only active Ridgeline forum may I please ask owners a question? I'm looking into buying a small travel trailer and anticipate towing 4,000 pounds cross country in search of the world's largest ball of twine (after I find the largest frying pan). Anybody out there have any real world gas mileage figures while towing with your Ridgeline? Thank you very much.
