Well, you apparently haven't tried hard enough.
toast3 was able to catch his on fire two times.

Tighten Gas Cap Message

Last weekend I bought an 07 RTL and I love the truck. Now, with 220 miles I get a "tighten gas cap" message on the display. I've tightened it about a million times but the message stays. Anyone have this experience or thoughts on what is wrong? The manual says it may take a few days of driving for the fault to clear? Wonder why.

2 broken windshields?

I have had my 2007 RT for two months now and have already replaced the windshield twice. The first time was two weeks after buying the truck and then again three weeks after the first repair. Both times I could not see a rock hit and both times the crack just "magically" showed up as a small horizontal crack sneaking out from the frame about 10 inches up for the bottom of the windshield; one crack on the drivers side, the second on the passenger side.
Anyone else hear about issues like this? Am I just incredibly unlucky and the cracks were caused by a rock hit I could not see?
Love the truck other than that (and I hope the gas mileage improves as I drive it more). 
Thanks!

It's called a stress crack, and is described in other forums. Also beware of the dealer ploy where they put a pen in the windshield and grind out a pit to show you where the "rock" hit. Other Ridgeline owners have experienced this stress crack while parked overnight in their garage/driveway. It is a flaw in the design of this vehicle.

I know where the dust comes in. It has to do with their HVAC system. I have dealt with this problem for 2 years now. Honda doesn't seem to want to admit that this is a problem. I live in the country and drive a lot of gravel roads. When i have my window open the dust pours into the cab. Honda told me that the vehicle was designed to run with the windows closed. I tried this and once i got onto paved highway I opened my window and it was as if someone had thrown a shovel full of dust into my cab. I have been arguing with honda to resolve this problem with no luck. I told Honda that no one had made me aware that this is a problem and that i want my money back for the truck. I told them that i paid for power windows that i can't even use. There is so much dust in my cab that electonics are failing. My dome lights do not work due to the contacts being full of dust, my cd player has been replaced because it was full of dust, my seatbelts have been replaced because they did not pull out or retract properly, and i have numerous other elecronic problems which i attest to the dust in the cab. When I put on my seatbelts it leaves a dust stripe across me and my passengers. Honda should supply a lifetime of coveralls when they sell these vehicles. It is ridiculous that we pay this type of money for these vehicles and have to put up with this crap. If someone with asthma drove in one of these vehicles it would trigger an attack. Maybe if we all band together we can get Honda to open their eyes. I told Honda that I realize that they are not going to fix this problem and that i wanted my money back. My next step may be to go to the media that gave this vehicle such great reviews and expose this vehicle for what it really is. And maybe even contact the health and safety department in the government to see what they think. I'm sure honda would love that. Get back to me with your thoughts.

Check the inside of your glove box. Bet its full of dust!! Also tap the underside of your dash, bet it rains dust from underneath. Now thats a high end classy vehicle!!!! WHAT A JOKE!! Bet none of the executives from Honda drive these vehicles because their $2000.00 suits cost too much to clean!

I resolved my dust problem through reading advice on another forum. Yes, of course you have to keep your windows closed. Also, you must keep your air intake system OFF recirculate and the fan on when your on dusty roads. This creates a positive pressure in the cabin and keeps the dust out. Since I've been doing this, I'm quite satisfied with the results. Hope this helps.

Just bought a 2006 with 45000 miles on it. Same thing happening to me, with the AM only. Haven't tried fixing yet. Busy trying to fix a electrical draw. The short is somewhere between BACKUP ACC FUSE and the interior lights/radio/door locks?? not sure yet. When that fuse is out there is no draw on the battery. When it is in and all power off there is draw. I was thinking the draw might be the AM radio problem. Maybe not.
