2017 Honda Ridgeline: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Oct 23, 2026 · IL

Since XXX I have been experiencing an issue with my 2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E where it intermittently jogs,steers or veers to the left for a few feet before re-correcting itself right sometimes over correcting to the right. I have to grab the wheel to stop this from happening. Sometimes it's really pronounced and sometimes it's barely noticeable. I am very sensitive to it and know what it feels like and I know how bad it gets where it actually has changed lanes into the left lane and re-corrected back to the right lane. Normally it shifts a foot or two and corrects back to the right. It is most noticeable when I am in cruise control and accelerate or decelerate with a few clicks but it does it when you add or remove torque to the engine as well. I've been trying to work with the Serra Honda dealership in [XXX], American Honda Corporate and my extended warranty. Corporate and the warranty company are are both willing to pay for repairs if the dealership can replicate it to give them a diagnosis. Since last year, all routine maintenance has been done including the timing belt, struts, and all fluids. Since I have owned the truck there have been recall repairs done for the fuel injection, torque converter, and rear subframe. In addition, the transmission failed and was recently replaced under warranty. After every repair the dealership has required that we replicate the issue but has proven difficult to replicate on short test drives since it is intermittent and seems to come and go in varies in severity. Honda corporate has suggested I trade in or sell it on my own and not spend the money on trying to diagnose it. I do not want to sell a problematic truck to anyone and run the risk of them getting in an accident especially in ice and snow. It is a safety concern. I would like Honda to either fix it or but it at a reasonable price. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Intermittently, when I set the speed with cruise control, right after I do that, the truck will speed up and I have to tap the brakes to slow the truck down and then try to set it again. It usually works the second time I set it.

My Honda Ridgeline 2017 it started to not accelerate and a lot of lights came on. Check engine light, power steering, cruise control, abs, etc. The truck only goes 20-23 mph and it wouldn't run. Thank God i wasn't in the high or i would have crashed. i went to my nearest autozone to see what was going on and they told me that the Camshaft position sensor is damage . and it do the fact that the camshaft is hitting the sensor. They took me that a lot of Honda's were having this problem. I should call the Honda Dealer. I then call them and told them was had happened, they responded that it would probably need a new engine or an rebuild. A

When accelerating the engine bogs down and runs rough. All warning lights come on. After shutting off the engine and restarting everything appears to run normally however the warning lights stay on the cruise control does not work. After a couple of days the warning lights went off and everything worked as normal. The same problem manifested again while accelerating. The first incident happened Aug. 26, 2023, the second incident happened on Sept. 3, 2023.

Vehicle has adaptive cruise control to reduce speed by braking when other vehicles may be struck. Unfortunately this models brakes are often applied when the radar detects other traffic which will not be a factor; I.e. A second car has left the interstate and is slowing to stop before turning on a secondary road. My vehicle will brake regardless whether a third vehicle is cruising a highway speed behind me. Similarly if I am moving with traffic in the center lane and overtaking an 18 wheeler on the right moving 10+ miles slower. My vehicle will brake to match the speed of the truck regardless of the speed or proximity of vehicles behind me. The manufacturer advises this is my vehicles design and no fix or modification is needed. This has been an issue reported to multiple dealers since about 5000 miles. Hi how

On 8/22/17 I brought my ridgeline to apple honda in riverhead ny due several warning lights being activated. The activated warning lights are as follows: collision mitigation, road departure mitigation, blind spot info system, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, power steering system, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, trailer stability assist. After a query of your database I found that similar problems have been reported and as a result of this the following the federal safety agency campaign number 16v888000 was generated. My concern is apple honda is under reporting and or not report these incident as required. In my situation I was told my problem was a direct result of a missing fuse c-28. When researched this fuse is referenced to option. My problem lays at the missing fuse. Fuses just dont go missing. And as per my conversation with the honda service rep alex costa tag # 765 if this fuse was missing the vehicle wouldn't operate. Again my primary concern is the mislabling of this recall as a missing fuse.
