2017 Honda Rideline RTL-T with 46,464 miles on the odometer. While on a trip totaling approximately 550 miles, after travelling approximately 350 miles we stopped to refuel. The Truck after fueling was hard to start and would lose power at 35-40 mph and would not accelerate. Check Engine light was on plus Various Dash Caution lights (ABS, SRS, EPS, AWD, VSA, Hill Traction, etc) I used an ODB 2 code reader and read P0087 Fuel Rail/System Too Low. I was able to take back roads driving approximately 8 miles at 20 mph to safely arrive at closest Honda Dealership in Abilene. The service advisor there told us it could not be diagnosed that day and the service department do not stock parts. We rented a vehicle and continued our journey. If the truck broke while we were on I-20 Freeway while traffic was passing us at 80 mph, we could have easily been in a serious accident. The service advisor called 1 day later with diagnosis of failed High Pressure Fuel Pump, with replacement part not expected until 4 days later (includes 2 weekend days) when it could be installed. The truck was repaired on the estimated day and we were able to drive 350 miles back home with no other issues. Strange thing was on the dealer invoice they noted that code they retrieved was P0088 Fuel/Rail System Pressure Too High

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 honda ridgeline. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 16v344000 (air bags) and 16v061000 (air bags). The dealer scheduled an appointment for the recall and later stated that they would call the contact once they were available to schedule the repair, but made no mention of part availability.

Takata inflators: I had service performed for the takata airbag issue on or about july 13. Within a month the SRS unit light came on. I took it in to lucas honda, where I bought the ridgeline. After a few days of them not finding the problem, they came back to me and said the SRS unit was bad and they had to replace it. It is not covered under warranty and it would cost me $700.+ to fix it. I vehemently protested that it had to be from the recall work performed, but they said that there was no indication that it was. I feel that their repair caused the SRS unit to fail at my expense.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 honda ridgeline. The contact stated that the passenger and driver air bag indicators illuminated before and after the vehicle was repaired per a recall. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer who performed the recall repair. The technician stated that the air bag indicators illuminated because the vehicle was wrecked. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failures were not remedied. The failure mileage was 35,212.
Airbag light came on and is still on, garage say's my drivers side airbag deflater is bad, unit has to be replaced.
After starting truck and leaving driveway SRS light came on. It does this each time you start driving truck now. Went to dealer, paid fee to put it on their computer and it said nothing was wrong. They reset light and it came on again. The dealer looked at it again (no charge this time) and said they feel it is the driver side seat sensor that is part of the SRS system. It will be about $1200.00 to replace it, it may not fix the problem and is not covered by honda even though it is part of the airbag safety system. How can a safety feature not be covered for the life of vehicle like seat belts? Honda has had so many air bag recalls how is this any different?
