Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I was driving back from Colorado celebrating my best friend from childhood having his first wedding. When the moonroof exploded while on was driving along I-70 East, I was about 5 miles away from my hotel in Columbia, MO. This is my halfway point on my long road trip out to Denver, CO. The loud noise startled me, as I was traveling 75 mph eastbound on the interstate. I checked all of mirrors and surroundings, I didn’t see anything that happened at that time. So, I continued to my hotel 5 miles up the road. I got to my hotel and parked in the parking lot. As I got out of the vehicle, I close the door and hear a noise that is not normal for a typical door close. I opened and shut the door a few more times, then I walked around the vehicle to see if there was any damage from the loud noise that I heard while driving along I-70. I look all around the vehicle, then finally I notice the glass on the moonroof didn’t look right. This is when I noticed that the moonroof had shattered. So, I use my cooler that I brought with me for the trip and look at the moonroof at a better viewing angle. I see that the glass has shattered. This seemed very unusual since I did not see any dents or scratches from any possible object that could have caused this. At this moment I reflected about my time driving on I-70 when that loud noise occurred moments earlier. The noise sounded like a gun shot that was very close by. I remember that I was not near any cars close to me, and there was no underpass nearby when the noise happened. The weather was partly cloudy, and the temperature was around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The time that is happened was about 7:30 PM Central Time. THANKFULLY, THE SLIDER WAS CLOSED, SO THE GLASS DID NOT INJURE ME, BUT COULD HAVE INJURED ME IF IT WAS OPEN. It was a scary ordeal.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
This vehicle has automatic headlights which turn off and on plus are supposed to automatically dim the headlights when oncoming vehicles approach. They automatic headlight dimming feature not only doesn't work properly, they go to bright (high beam) when cars approach, instead of dimming. I have taken it to a Honda Dealer twice for repair. They said they could not duplicate the issue but admit they have no real test for this problem. This is a serious safety issue which Honda can't seem to bother with.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
After driving approximately 2.5 hours at 70 miles per hour, I took an exit off of the interstate and stopped at the stoplight at the bottom of the exit ramp. After about 1 minute the light turned green and I accelerated sharply and turned left. The Check Engine Light started to flash and the vehicle experienced a significant loss of power. I was unable to accelerate to match the speed of the traffic around me and created a hazard while attempting to find a safe place to pull off the road. After about 1/4 of a mile I was able to pull off the road. I shut off the vehicle and waited about 5 minutes. I restarted the vehicle and the light didn't return and it had full power, so I completed my trip. Additional info, outdoor temp was 34 degrees F. I was driving into a 25 MPH headwind during the 2.5 hours of internet travel. I took the vehicle to the dealer as it is under warranty and has about 18,000 miles. Dealer removed intake manifold, removed water that had collected in the intake manifold and reassembled. Vehicle computer didn't store any codes. Dealer was unable to explain how the water got into the intake manifold or provide any satisfactory reason or logic as to why it would not occur again under the same conditions. My concern is that there is some design flaw inherit to the air intake of this engine that allows condensation to collect under some conditions and causes a misfire that puts it into a limp mode that diminishes performance until the engine is cycled off/on. It is difficult to understate how terrifying the experience is of having traffic wiz around you with horns blaring and not being able to move out of the way.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
The automatic high/low beams do not work properly. The do not go to high beam when they are suppose to and they do not dim when they are suppose to. Any reflective device along the road will cause them to either dim or brighten. When an approaching vehicle is coming toward me the lights will not dim like they should and sometimes I will have to do it manually. This is a safety problem not only for myself but also for oncoming vehicles. I have had it to the dealership 5 times, they have replaced the light sensor at the base of the windshield and the camera behind the rearview mirror and have told me that this should resolve the problem but it has not as they continue to malfunction. There are numerous reports on line about the ridgeline having this problem and so far the dealership has not been able to fix it. They know they have the problem but they don't seem concerned about it. I have not had the police or my insurance company look at the problem yet. I can though if requested. There are no warning lights that come on to tell you of this problem; only the flashing headlights of oncoming vehicles to let you know.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
After driving for approximately 275 miles in winter temperatures but with normal driving conditions, upon taking a banked turn the check engine light flashed while the engine lost power and caused the car to begin shaking. I pulled over and was able to pull diagnostic codes from the vehicle. The vehicle reported that two cylinders were misfiring. Upon restarting the car the vehicle operated normally. I brought this vehicle in to the dealer who was familiar with the problem but responded that Honda has no resolution yet. This problem seems to affect multiple years and models of Honda vehicles (using the 3.5L engine).

Potential Consequences:
On two seperate occasions now my 2022 Ridgeline, which has less than 5000 miles, has lost considerable power when attempting to merge onto a highway and had the check engine light start flashing. This has required me to quickly pull over off the road as I was merging and unable to get my speed up. When this occurred, I had been driving on a highway for about an hour and was merging from the highway onto a larger interstate. The temperature outside was approximately 20 degrees F and my gas tank was above 3/4 tank that was purchased 2 days earlier.

The truck randomly smells very strong of raw fuel in the cabin and sometimes exhaust as well. This typically happens more after refueling as well as after 30+ minute drives and then idling at a stop light for example. There are no visual leaks of the fuel system. The smell seems to be coming from the passenger side of the engine bay.
Corrective Action:

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Driving on interstate in 10 degree F weather. Exited interstate on exit ramp. Stopped at end of ramp.

Multiple people behind me honking, flashing lights, etc to try and make me go faster when I couldn't.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
When stopped at a red light and idle engine auto-stop engaged the vehicle displayed battery warning light and a “Shift to Park” message on display. Vehicle had to be shifted into park and restarted manually before it could move. Your Questions: 1. Battery/Auto-stop-start system. Sure, you can inspect it. 2. Vehicle was non-responsive and immobile at a busy intersection. 3. No, the incident just happened today, but apparently the NHTSA is investigating a similar problem in the Pilot, a mechanically identical vehicle. https://wtop.com/national/2022/06/us-investigating-complaints-that-honda-engines-wont-restart/ 4. No 5.None. Red battery dash light illuminated at time of incident. I did not notice it before this happened. The vehicle had been at freeway speeds for 30+ minutes, so low voltage shouldn't have been an issue. It was below-freezing at the time, however.
