while driving vehicle hesitated and almost shut off. it has happened twice in the last month. also sometimes is hard to start engine. I received the fuel pump recall in February 2024 and again in May 2024 stating that parts should be available in FALL. I called DCH Honda of Temecula and I was told that they do not have parts and they have no idea when they will have parts on hand. I fear that my truck will shut off and I will not be able to stop it in time. Especially when driving 65-70 MPH on freeway.

We started experiencing hesitation with our 2019 Ridgeline. We then experienced twice the check engine light coming on but eventually clearing on its own. We took the truck to the Honda dealer from where we purchased our Ridgeline new. They mentioned there is a huge backlog on the factory recalled fuel pump, which is part of the root cause of the truck stumbling and hesitating. They additionally cited the fuel injectors as a root cause. We then discovered the repair parts are not available with no date known as to when the parts will arrive. We then checked with the only other Honda dealer in Tucson, AZ and that dealer stated the parts were not expected until December 2024 at the earliest. We then called Honda corporate office in California, and they were even less helpful than the dealerships in town. We are VERY concerned that we have a 2000 mile trip to take at the end of August when we will temporarily relocate for me to attend graduate school. Is there anything you can do to get Honda moving on acquiring the parts so we don't get stranded somewhere on our trip?
