2022 Honda Ridgeline electrical problems

Filed Oct 28, 2026 · Driver assistance, Electrical · HI

The component that failed is the starter motor assembly. It is currently installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. This failure creates a severe safety hazard by disabling critical Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). When the vehicle's Auto Idle Stop feature engages at a stop and then attempts to restart the engine, the internally defective starter draws excessive current. This causes the vehicle's electrical system voltage to plummet to 9 Volts. This sudden low-voltage condition immediately triggers warning messages and disables the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and the Forward Collision Warning system. My safety and the safety of others are put at immediate risk because the primary emergency automatic braking systems are deactivated during normal driving operation. The problem has been definitively reproduced and confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership. The manufacturer is aware of this defect and issued TSB 23-010 and a March 2023 Warranty Extension covering this exact issue. Initially, at the manufacturer's instruction, the authorized dealer performed a valve adjustment. However, on May 20, 2026, the dealership's technician officially documented on the repair order: "After repair battery voltage still dropping to 9V when restarting." Despite written confirmation from their own authorized dealership that the dangerous voltage drop and safety system failures persist, the manufacturer's District Parts & Service Manager denied the subsequent required starter motor replacement. The vehicle was fully inspected and diagnosed by the dealer, but the manufacturer refuses to complete the hardware repair, leaving the vehicle in an unsafe condition. The warning symptoms include a strained engine restart from an Auto Idle Stop event, immediately followed by CMBS and Forward Collision warning lamps illuminating on the dashboard

Auto Idle Stop not working. By default it should be on and driver must actively turn it off. Mine does not/not come on. This problem appears different from the numerous other problems reported with the Auto Idle Stop but it still is a problem and indicates the system may have a number of related defects and that its may be just be a metter of time until I experience other more serious problems.

I took my vehicle to the Honda dealership to have a safety recall repaired. Following the repair, the alarm started intermittently going off. Before the repair, the vehicle was running well. I did not know what the alarm sounded like before the recall repair. After they checked the vehicle, I was hit with a $1500 repair bill to replace the Keyless Control Unit. This part is what is causing the issue. Now I am left with no recourse. I called Honda corporate, and they told me that they couldn't help me. I am very disappointed because I am a long-time Honda owner and apprantly the quality is not there anymore.

While trying to accelerate quickly from the start ,low 15 mph and moderate speeds when you feel you have to push the accelerator pedal all the way at once to the floor theirs a bad Hesitation where the vehicle is going nowhere. The accelerator cable by wire doesn't RESPOND when you want to accelerate . This can cause an ACCIDENT When you attempt to accelerate and the vehicle doesn't get out of its own way. This problem has the same symptoms of the older style carburetors when the accelerator pump goes bad. I asked the dealership about this problem and the reply is ,there's no Check engine light or CODES. Vehicle is working as it should . Problems happened soon after the purchase of vehicle.
