AIR BAGS — Filed 06/09/2026

Part 573 Safety Recall Report for the Seat Weight Sensor recall for Honda includes 2017-2021 and certain cars in 2023. Mine Ridgeline is a 2022. My curtain airbags on the drivers side spontaneously deployed while I was driving along a 4-lane highway. I was stunned, but I was able to pull of the road safely, but I am bruised on my shoulder, hip, and thigh due to the impact of the airbags. The 2022 Ridgelines should have been included in the recall. Honda has so far not taken responsibility for the air bag deployment. Because an actual accident did not occur, but a 'mechanical failure', my insurance agency has refused to file and pay for the damage.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER — Filed 03/20/2026

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.

My engine seized up at only around 74,859 miles. As I was driving it immediately seized up on the roadway causing a hazardous condition. There was no check engine light on to warn me. I had the vehicle towed to dealership and had them inspect the vehicle and take the engine apart. They told me the crankshaft bearings were disintegrated. There were consistent oil changes done with this vehicle. I am now expected to pay $5,000 to $13,000 for a new engine. This is a 2022 Honda Ridgeline.

ENGINE — Filed 01/21/2026

Coming down a ramp in parking deck with right foot lightly riding the brake pedal to control the car’s descent when all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated full throttle as if the gas pedal had been “floored.” The acceleration was so intense that it drove my body backward into my seat and pulled my foot off the brake. At this point, the only control I had was my hands on the steering wheel. With the car continuing to accelerate towards the parked cars, I quickly turned the steering wheel to the right, but too late and the front driver side of my vehicle clipped one of the parked cars. My foot is still in the air and yet the car is still surging ahead full throttle and my vehicle is flying towards a car that had come down the ramp a few seconds ahead of me. At this point I slam my right foot onto the brake pedal, but not in time to avoid the passenger front bumper of my vehicle from hitting the rear of that car. At this point, my vehicle’s engine shut off and the HondaLink automatically dialed for help.

The CEL flashed 2 days earlier, I immediately pulled to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off, suspecting it may be a misfire. Restarted the vehicle and all seemed fine. After arriving home i plugged in my scanner to check for a code. No codes were found. I decided to carry my scanner in the vehicle, and plugged it in before starting a 10 mile drive to a store. After 3 miles, the CEL flashed and displayed code P0303 cylinder 3 misfire. I pulled to the side of the busy interstate I was on and turned the vehicle off. When I restarted the engine, a heard a rattling sound and turned it off. I then called the dealer and asked me to have it towed in. The dealer diagnosed a cylinder #3 spun rod bearing. This occured at 68,517 odometer miles.
