We purchased our 2006 ridgeline back in 2009 with approx 46k miles on it. At that time, we purchased the hac (honda auto care) warr & cont to drive for yrs with limited problems concerning the veh. Around 82k on the ridgeline (2 yrs ago), I had a problem with the vehicle that prompted me to take the vehicle into the dealer. They advised me that it would be cov under the warranty, but the warranty was exp in 2 weeks (2 weeks, but what about the 7 yrs and 100k)?. I inquired on the terms & explained that was not how it was positioned to me. Roughly 2100.00 for a little over 2 1/2 yrs is not what I thought I was buying. Knowing that the warranty was expiring, I immediately scheduled an appt for the following weekend to have them review the entire vehicle top to bottom (nothing discovered at that time). Where the problem creates: last wkd, hit 101k & the check engine light appears w/ the vtm-4 light. I know there are usual codes for reg maint, but seeing how I have had vehicles trigger lights at 100k for regular servicing that was outside of the manual, I then contacted my service ctr to inquire. He reviewed the 105k service with me & started he would get back to me on any codes. Later that day I received a call stating that the #4 cylinder was misfiring & the plug on #4 was caked with baked on oil. He recommended changing the plugs first before going into the rest of the 105k service. 2 days later, the chk engine light starts blinking & vtm-4 light is on again. He later calls me to state the head may have a crack & explains poss damage or stall. What if it stalls on the freeway? What if the cat clogs (another 600 by the way) and my car just stops while driving though a intersection? I read several complaints about this happening & am shocked honda doesn't respond to any. I cant pay 3k - called dealer & opened case with honda main csr# 800‑999‑1009-no response.

We love our honda's (3 other), I was so excited about my purchase of a ridgeline from a la dealership in dec 2006. My nephew purchased it from honda finance directly and shipped it to utah for me and I have meticulously cared for and loved my ridgeline! In december at 93,460 miles my truck lost its perfect harmony ... It began putting out white/blue smoke. I had an incident where the accelerator took off and I had to shift down and brake real hard to gain control of the speed. I was traveling south on I-15 through salt lake county at the time, speed around 65 MPH. Very scary! Soon after the "check engine" light came on and when I idled it flashed. I was told that this is probably the moment that the cylinder "blew out". I took it in and was told that my #4 spark plug was "gummed" up and needed replacement, it was suggested that because of the increased mileage I should do a full valve replacement. $785 later, the smoke exhaust was the same and 3 weeks later the light came back on. I took it back and they "scoped" the cylinders and found #4 had "pouck" marks and had lost compression. I needed a new engine. I called 5 auto shops in my general area and found that 2 of them had seen the same issue with a 2006 ridgelne and a 2007 pilot. Both mechanics told me that the owners had taken them to honda dealerships & honda had replaced their engines, they "were under 100,000 miles". I did so, $97 later I was told that "no. Honda had deemed my situation not worthy of a warranty." what?! I can't even trade it in to a honda dealership to purchase a new one without the $5k reduction in value! I have a history of timely and meticulous care with my local honda dealership and a mechanic shop, this is not what I expected from honda! You must have an issue if in my little suburb 2 others have had #4 cylinders go bad just before 100,000 miles.

I was leaking engine coolant so I went to the dealership to get it checked. I figured that while the truck was at the dealer I should get the check engine light that keeps going on and off looked at. Turns out my radiator had blown and the valves in my engine were too tight and they needed to be adjusted. It cost me 800 for the radiator plus 400 for the valves and I've noticed a huge gain in my gas mileage.
