Backup camera intermittently worked for several weeks (working, black screen with yellow guides, radio instead of camera on center display). This was dependent on opening/closing tailgate. now it has stopped working completely for the last few months. From online research this appears to be a known wiring harness/broken wire issue.

The wire to the backup camera were cut by the wear and tear from the opening of the tailgate.
Rear backup camera does not work, not a fuse issue. As we are seniors and have come to rely on camera while backing up, small children (our grandchildren) and pedestrians (while shopping) are at risk. Dangerous safety risk. We should not have to pay for this repair which I consider a safety issue on such a new vehicle.
I have experienced times when the vehicle brakes automatically for no apparent reason. This has created traffic safety issues--the potential to cause a rear collision--and I've had to override the braking by mashing the accelerator.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently came to a complete stop but the engine was still running and gas pedal was not responding. The contact stated that the vehicle stability assist warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was still awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000. Consumer stated dealer could not reproduce the problem. Case number [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”
Wiring harness broke at tail gate hinge. Harness fails dues to flexing when tailgate is opened and closed. Rear camera fails to operate. Can no longer to objects or pedestrians when backing up. Did not see any object on the screen and almost back into a pedestrian in a parking lot.
Backup camera which is a mandatory saftey feature stopped working. Wiring harness where it enters the tailgate was pinched and wires severed. This was fixed under warranty. Dealer stated there is a technical bulletin to route the wiring harness differently to minimize this issue. There are plenty of complaints on the honda ridgeline forums of backup cameras failing due to wiring harness issue. Please investigate as I believe honda should be offering an extended warranty on the wiring harness as this is a mandatory safety feature that is not reliable.
Wire harness to backup camera is faulty causing camera screen failure to detect persons or objects.
