2017 HONDA RIDGELINE Engine Problems

Total engine failure on 2017 Honda Ridgeline. It is available for inspection upon request at Milton Martin Honda, Gainesville GA. On the highway going 65 mph when my truck lost power, started shaking and the engine started making loud scraping noises. The engine light then came on. Pulled off the highway slowly with flashers on. The first time turning the ignition back on, all the warning lights came on solid and the warning messages started cycling through. The second time turning the ignition on the engine light started flashing. I then had the truck towed to the Honda dealer I purchased it from. Their diagnosis is total engine failure and it needs the engine replaced. All recommended maintenance has been kept up to date on the vehicle. This engine failure is a huge safety risk and appears to be the same issue as in the earlier recall from November 2023 although my VIN is not one of the ones listed.

The connecting rod bearing failed, it is available for inspection. Caused engine failure on motorway. The vehicle was towed to residency and has not been inspected since engine failure. The vehicle was inspected the same day prior to the engine failing. The engine light came on a few seconds after the engine blew.

Total engine failure on 2017 Honda Ridgeline. It is available for inspection upon request at Findlay Honda, Flagstaff AZ We were on a highway going 70 mph when the engine started making loud thrashing noises. Luckily, I was immediately able to pull over into shoulder the as the engine seized up. Then got towed and haven't driven it since. Took it to local Honda dealer - they inspected and confirmed that it was a total engine failure due to this connecting rod bearing issue and claimed a refurbished engine would be $10K and a brand new engine would be $20K Bought it in June 2017, very well maintained. We are only owner. Yes, our safety was put at risk based on this connecting rod bearing issue being a known issue based on NHTSA report - [XXX] This pdf and other info found online is exactly what happened to our Ridgeline. But mine wasn't recalled for this issue because apparently my VIN was not part of the recall...that said, this is exactly why other Ridgelines were indeed recalled. Honda Service Manager verified the diagnosis. There were no warning lamps or messages until the moment this incident happened on Friday Dec 5th near Seligman AZ.

I was driving on the highway when there was a sudden drop in power, accompanied by a flashing engine light. I was unable to proceed at normal highway speeds and was worried about a complete loss of power. I was able to coast/stay in a low gear to get off the highway and find a safe place to park the vehicle. Shortly after parking, the engine stopped and would not engage on attempts to restart. It was hauled to the local Honda Dealer who confirmed that the engine was completely seized and would need to be replaced. They have not disassembled it yet to confirm the precise failure point. Prior to the loss of power, there appeared to be some light, intermittent clicking sounds that I was trying to localize, but appeared to be coming from the front of the vehicle. This lasted for several miles. At the time of the decrease in power, this was accompanied by increased noise/knocking form the engine area. On stopping the vehicle was noted to be idling very rough. This vehicle experienced a failed torque converter around 2021 that Honda eventually had to extend their warranty to cover. In 2023, it had issues with misfiring fuel injectors which was also subject to an extended warranty by Honda to repair. Due to parts shortages, Honda was unable to fix the fuel injectors for over 8 months. This vehicle would be available for inspection on request.

On October 8th, 2025 I was driving my 2017 Honda Ridgeline home from work when I noticed the engine light started flashing. I stopped at a nearby Meineke less than a mile from where I was. It seemed like a misfire and the truck had a tune up and ignition coils replaced. They also noted other suggested work such as a catalytic converter and oxygen sensor upstream & downstream. The next day on 10/09/2025, I was driving when suddenly I hear a knocking sound, the engine light and all electrical warning lights were flashing and the engine shuts off. It was scary and I had to react quickly because I was travelling in the middle lane of a 3-lane highway; there were vehicles on both sides, in front and behind me. Everything electrical soon disappeared, the power steering was practically gone and it got harder to steer, the braking system was slow reacting. I placed the truck in neutral steering to the right at the first side street off the main highway because there was no shoulder. As the truck was slowing down, two men came to my aid and quickly helped push the truck as I kept trying to turn the steering wheel and make sure, I could apply the brakes were not working as well with engine off. I called my insurance to report a claim for roadside assistance. The tow truck driver arrived he tried to jump start the battery and it started smoking and sparking. We were both surprised. I had the truck towed on a flatbed tow truck to the same Honda dealership where the truck had been serviced since I bought it 3yrs ago. By Friday 10/10/2025, the dealership stated that the truck needed a new battery before it could even be assessed. By Monday, 10/13/2025, I heard back from the dealership that the truck needed to have the engine replaced; they drained the oil and found metal shavings in the engine. I researched information since the indecent and found out that there was this recall investigation. How does a truck meant to last 300K miles ends this way? A Honda?

Catastrophic Premature In-Service Water Pump Failure at 28,330 miles on 10/20/25 with loud metal-to-metal noise with complete loss of coolant. Engine was shutdown to prevent further engine damage. Failure occurred as vehicle was being parked after leaving city street. Failure on city street could have resulted in an accident due to engine failure and collision with other vehicles, coolant spill resulted in a large slippery spill area and possible loss of steering of following vehicles. Vehicle was towed to the vehicle’s dealer who replaced the water pump and related parts [Timing Belt Kit Package]. The failed parts are not available for inspection as the dealer routinely discards damaged parts replaced during the repair. There were no warning lamps, or messages prior to failure. Regular under hood checks by owner for: fluid levels, leaks, unusual noise, belt damage showed no issues including during an oil change with fluid level checks [the radiator level bottle showed the proper level of coolant] 5 days prior to the water pump failure. Three dealer performed Multi-Point Inspections on this vehicle on 3/20/19, 3/29/23 and 10/23/24 during ‘Campaign Recalls’ with no defects reported. The dealer Multi-Point Inspections included inspections for: Cooling System [leaks], Hoses [cracks, damage, leaks], Drive Belts [cracks, damage, leaks] with no defects reported.

On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, I was driving home from work about 5:00 PM. I started hearing a ticking noise coming from the front of the car. It would come and go, but then it got progressively worse, and finally there was a loud squelch and the engine shut off. I still had electrical control of the vehicle, steering, brakes, dash, etc. I just had no power. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic, and they next day the mechanic confirmed the motor was seized. The car is well maintained, with service records. The mechanic and I found the existing recall on 2017-2019 Honda Ridgelines with the same issue, but I guess the recall does not apply to my vehicle. The mechanic advised me to call American Honda and see if my vehicle is covered. They said it was not. Started working with Grapevine Honda to get the vehicle over there so the dealership could start communicating with American Honda to try and get this covered under the recall.

Our 2017 Honda Ridgeline suddenly had clunking sounds and a rough sounding engine. Later that day, the engine entirely seized. We are being told. The engine is locked up, and needs to be entirely replaced. The person at the Honda dealership told us that they suspect this was something in the engine that was bad from the start, and just went. They thought it had something to do with a rod. They are quoting us almost $24,000 to replace the engine with a new one, or about $9000 to replace it with a used engine with comparable mileage. Our Ridgeline has always been fully maintained, all oil changes done on time or early, And only has about 71,000 miles on it.

My engine started making a knocking/sparking noise while I was driving on the interstate (with two children) in Utah, had to pull over to a gas station, barely made it there before the engine stalled. Had a mechanic come and affirm the engine was out, truck was towed to Ken Graf Honda in Riverdale where I was told it would be pointless to replace the engine since it would cost over $14k. Was compelled by circumstance (being stranded) to buy a new 2019 Honda Ridgeline for $8000 more in cumulative payments, even after trade in allowance. Salesmen were extremely condescending and suggested the engine failure was my fault because I had a small pallet of ceramic molds in the back of the truck when it failed. Dealership gave us $6k worth of trade in value for 2017 and immediately replaced the engine at no cost (they sent me the invoice of repairs by accident) and will no doubt put it out on the lot for sale. Contacted the Idaho Falls dealership where we had purchased the car 1.5 years earlier and were told we were a month past our warranty and they “could not” contribute to a resolution.

Total engine failure on freeway. Huge amount of smoke came out of the engine and the vehicle died. Hole in engine block, piston parts and connecting rod found in oil pan. It is my understanding that some 2017 Honda Ridgeline vehicles were recalled for this same problem. All maintenance work was done per recommendation and at the dealer.

Component/system: Suspected engine lower end/connecting rod bearings. Vehicle is currently being towed to Keeler Honda of Latham, NY for diagnosis and is available for inspection upon request. What happened: On Friday night, [XXX], I was traveling about 63mph in the 65mph zone on the [XXX] which is a moderate uphill. the engine all of a sudden began making a very violent knocking noise and the truck started to lose power very fast. I activated my hazards and coasted to the shoulder narowly sideswiping the cars near me. The malfunction created a huge collision risk. There is no crash or fire. Confirmation by shop/inspection: JMR Auto is a well-known and long-running independent shop located in Nassau, NY and is also the first place I towed the vehicle to. They stated based on listening to it it is indeed rod knock. Official Honda dealer confirmation is pending, the vehicle is currently being towed to Keeler Honda of Latham, NY where they will inspect and confirm internal connecting rod bearing failure. Warnings: No warning lights before the event. At failure, the engine light along with some driver assistance lights were displayed. Context: Symptoms match Honda Recall 23V-751 (prematrue connecting-rod bearing wear/seizure) reported on this model/year, but my VIN shows no open recalls. I understand NHTSA has Recall Query Rq24-013 into similar failures outside 23V-751's VIN range. I am reporting this for safety tracking and potential expanded recall consideration. Maintenance: Vehicle reasonably maintained per Hondas' Maintenance Minder; some services were at shops that do not report to CARFAX. Documentation being gathered. Dealer RO/case numbers to follow.

I have a 2017 Ridgeline. I bought it brand new. Always keep up with the maintenance, keep it clean and well taken care of. I only have 45,000 miles on it. A few days ago the engine failed on me while on the freeway. Limped it off the freeway as it made a horrendous sound, like marbles in the engine. I had it towed, at a cost of $275. I took it to Honda. I told them I was aware of the NHTSA investigation into the the 2017-2019 Ridgeline reports of failing connecting rod bearings. They said they were not aware of that and it was not showing on the recall list for my specific vehicle . Their diagnostic came back requiring a short block replacement as "oil was coming from the oil pan rod bearing." They took it the warranty department, as the original warranty of 5yrs/60,000mi has passed. Honda is going to cover 75% of a $9,738.35 bill because of the low mileage on the vehicle, which brings the cost to "only $1,850." They’re giving me a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on their work. They’re also recommending that I do a 100,000 miles service that would require a replacement of a timing belt, water pump, drive belt, etc. that would cost an additional $2,123.58. It seems a bit counterintuitive to do that service since I only have 45,000 miles on an eight year-old truck that has been kept up on its regular maintenance schedule. The initial cost to do the diagnostic was stated at $199. I received a call to approve $697 to break down the engine to do further evaluation. After receiving the results of their evaluation, I am now awaiting the estimate with a breakdown of costs. I have yet to receive that, but can provide it when available. The vehicle is still sitting at the Honda service center. I have also contacted Honda directly and have opened a case with them.

I was driving home climbing a hill in the slight rain when the check engine light came on. I drove with the light on to get to the next closest city about 2 minutes out from where the light came on. The engine was running rough and shaking the car and was having issues stopping at a light before I could pull into a parking lot. I pulled into the parking lot, my book said that it was a misfire and to let the engine cool off so I sat for about 2 hours, checked fluids then started the car. the ticking noise was there but there were no lights on my dash at the time and assumed it could make it home after I let it idle for 5 minutes. I proceeded to get on the road and the vehicle did ok. I got on the freeway to get home, slowly let the car climb to 50 and kept it there. 1 minute later the whole dash glowed saying everything was not working and giving special pop-ups on the dash explaining the VSA, ABS, and electronic power steering were not working to name a few. I stopped the car and pulled over immediately and called for a tow. I took it to my local electric shop to see because the brakes still worked and they said that it was possibly the ECM, that they couldn't fix it, and the ticking was a heatshield, and to take it to the dealer. I then towed it to the dealer. The Honda techs said that they didn't know what was wrong because the car wasn't throwing any codes. They replaced the tailgate harness that the previous dealer I took it to didn't and said to replace the pully and tensioner before they drove and diagnosed it further. I had it towed to another shop to get those replaced. This shop listed some of the same fault codes as the first shop and when they tested the vehicle they had called me to come in and inspect the vehicle as they started it after it was at the dealer and told me it was an engine knock and that the engine would need to be replaced with the drive shaft. I called Honda's corporate office and they took my complaint and documented it only.

Most likely a connecting rod bearing failure leading to catastrophic engine failure per dealership service department. Vehicle is currently available for inspection. Safety was put at risk by engine part (likely connecting rod bearing) coming loose. It flew through my oil pan and bounced off the road, fortunately no people or other vehicles were hit by the part. Vehicle lost power and engine started smoking, oil spilled all over the road. I had to evacuate vehicle on busy highway (70 mph speed limit) since it was smoking. The vehicle was towed to the dealer which inspected it and said most likely connecting rod bearing failure but could not confirm unless engine taken apart. To my knowledge no one else has inspected it. All service for the life of the vehicle has been performed at Honda dealerships at recommended times. A check engine light had come on shortly before the problem occurred.

My vehicle has less than 95k miles on it. Purchased it brand new from the dealer in 2016. It was one of the first few Ridgelines in the state. I've always had it serviced on time at the dealer, and kept up with its maintenance and care. The engine started to fail out of nowhere - making a weird tapping/knocking noise. I made an appointment to have it checked out by the dealership, and that same day my check engine light came on while I was on the freeway going 70mph. It began shaking at an idle. I got off the freeway, and parked. I was afraid to turn the car back on. The check engine light listed off numerous warnings of failed systems. Since my appointment wasn't until the next day, I left my car near the dealership overnight, instead of driving it back home for fear of causing an accident, or having my engine overheat or explode. I brought it to the dealership the next day, and they confirmed that I had a fuel injector issue, consistent with a known issue, for which I had an extended warranty letter re: the MIL warnings. However, they also noted a possible connection rod issue in the engine, and said the engine would have to be completely replaced or rebuilt. I have read and heard from many other people with a 2017 Honda Ridgeline that they have experienced this issue with their engines failing well before they should - at 90k miles, 140k miles, etc. There is a known issue with many of the 2017 Honda Ridgelines - and a recall did occur, but my VIN says my vehicle is not part of this recall - however, clearly my engine had the problem that Honda was aware of. My whole family was in the car when the check engine light came on, and the sound got worse - we could have been injured in an accident on the freeway, or had the engine overheat/explode while we were in the car. The issue was reproduced and confirmed by the dealer service center, and has been inspected by them. No warnings or symptoms before the failure - just complete shutdown out of nowhere.

Recently, while driving approximately an hour and a half from home, traveling at 80–100 km/h, the vehicle suddenly began to shake violently, almost ripping the steering wheel from my hands. I immediately turned down the radio and heard a loud squealing and clacking noise coming from the engine. At that time, no warning lights or codes were present. Moments later, multiple errors appeared on the dashboard, and the engine lost power and shut down completely. With nowhere safe to pull over, I attempted to restart the vehicle just to get it off the roadway into a nearby farm entrance, but it died again shortly after. I had the vehicle towed on a flatbed back home, where I began diagnostics. I initially suspected a timing issue or tensioner failure, so I checked timing components, replaced the spark plugs and swapped coils. A compression test showed over 150 psi across all cylinders. I then brought it into my shop for further inspection. A scan revealed a cylinder #3 misfire, and upon removing the oil pan, I discovered the rod bearing on cylinder #3 had failed catastrophically. When I contacted Honda about the rod bearing recall, I was told that although over 250,000 vehicles were recalled for similar issues, mine did not qualify as it was manufactured in July 2016, just outside the affected range. I was advised to transport the vehicle 2.5 hours to a dealership for a technician inspection, as my diagnosis would not be accepted. This failure was not only unexpected and costly—it was a serious safety concern that could have resulted in injury or worse. Given the severity of the situation and the number of similar cases reported, I respectfully request that Honda cover the repair under warranty or goodwill. This failure should not have happened on a well-maintained engine and is clearly part of a wider issue.

After taking my 2017 Honda Ridgeline to First Honda in Simi Valley, CA for its 100,000-mile maintenance, including a brake service and an oil change, I experienced a major engine failure just two days later. I let my son drive the vehicle from Simi Valley to the East Bay area for college. The next day, the vehicle broke down and had to be towed to Hayward Honda. At Hayward Honda, they informed me that the oil was extremely dark and looked like it had not been changed, despite being billed for it at First Honda. Furthermore, they diagnosed that the engine failure was due to a connecting rod bearing failure — the same issue currently under investigation by the NHTSA. This breakdown happened without warning right after scheduled maintenance and may indicate both negligence by the servicing dealer and a defect in the engine. I believe this incident should be included in the NHTSA investigation related to engine failures in 2017 Honda Ridgeline models.

I started getting a p0306 code on my truck on Thursday Jan 2, 2025. I took it to my mechanic and he said that it is a lower engine problem. On Saturday Jan 11,2025 there was a loud clunk from the engine and the vehicle lost power. My mechanic said that the connector rod broke. I contacted Honda but they said my vin is not in the recall and I would have to deal with the dealership. I know that they won't do anything so I am in the process of trying to install a used engine myself.

My engine started to have a clicking or a ticking sound, and then abruptly stop running. The dealer said that the engine is seized up. From what I have read, it sounds like the connecting rod problem that other 2017 models have had. I think that my engine needs to also be on the recall. Honda has offered NO help with this, what-so-ever, even though I think they know there is a manufacturing defect.

Have taken in a few times for engine knocking, Honda has down oil changes and reported noise is normal but is getting louder, purchased extended warranty from Honda dealer. Also had at Honda for oil and filter change a month ago, they also were supposed to have completed the tailgate harness but told me it had be previously complied with but never took it off the list of open recalls. Honda isn’t the company it used to be. After my purchase of my new Honda pilot and issues- it will be my last Honda period.

Connecting rod bearing on the #6 cylinder...after the injectors failed and the vehicle was barely drivable the Honda mechanic heard a knocking in the motor which was confirmed when I agreed to pay $700 for them to tear it down to look. Mechanic confirmed issue which is EXACTLY same issue as the recall for other 2017 Ridgelines. I am somewhat lucky as I had purchased an extended warranty but it will still cost me over $700 to get a used motor. The insurance company confirmed issue. There were no warning lights or anything that came on prior to the injectors failing. Could have been a major issue as mechanic said it was just a matter of time before motor completely blew up.

Driver detected faint internal engine noise. There were no warning lamps or other messages displayed. Vehicle was taken to Nissan North, 8645 North High Street, Worthington, OH 43065, (614) 436-2768 ("Shop"). Shop diagnosed the internal engine noise as "connecting rod knock". Engine then seized up while in the possession of Shop. Engine was required to be replaced. See attached Nissan North invoice. Prior to the above described incident, vehicle owner had not experienced problems or symptoms with the involved engine. Owner has become aware that the engines in 2017 Honda Ridgelines are now the subject of an NHTSA safety investigation.

Complete engine failure at approximately 107K miles. Honda Corp denied warranty consideration. I paid to have Honda dealership replace engine. Subsequently Honda issued recall notice referring to the engine failure with description similar to the repairs listed on the Honda invoice I paid. I believe the recall notice is 23V-751. I called Honda after the recall and they stated that my VIN was not included in that recall. I believe I paid to have the repairs completed instead of Honda honoring the recall.

Vehicle was diagnosed with "Rod knock" which requires to replace engine or rebuild it depending on damage. Honda has issued a recall for this issue but my vehicle was not part of that recall. American Honda said that my VIN # was not identified as of the defective engines. My reply was that it was a very big coincidence that my vehicle has the same issue as other vehicles were recalled. Thank you for reviewing my case.

I had taken the truck to the mechanic no sooner than a month ago who changed the oil and did an inspection of the vehicle performing routine maintenance. Few weeks ago I had been driving when my engine started breaking down, the car would turn on drive for a moment then lose complete power to the wheels forcing myself and a friend to hitchhike home through the pitch dark. When we took the car into the shop they told us the engine was blown and that it’d need a completely new engine, although I had not been driving recklessly (maxing revs, speeding, harsh breaking ext) the reason I bring this up is I saw you were performing an investigation and I would like to include my vehicle into the scope as this problem was simply an instance of shotty build quality

I was going home after picking my grandson up from school. Without notice 1heard a thud and my engine stopped. Iwas on the highway proir to an exit and luckily made it to a safe spot. If this happened 500 feet further down the highway., would have been in construction with no shoulder, Very dangerous! ! had my Ridgeline towed to my mechanic, the engine was frozen, |t showed the same symptoms as the crankshaft bearings recall but my vin was not included in the recall. 1 contacted Vandergrift honda who said they would diagnose the failure. had it towed to them, but once management got involved, they refused to spend any effort. 1 towed it back to my mechanic. With all the problems with this engine, parts and rebuild engines are hard to find. My mechanic replaced my engine and Honde claims no responsibility.

Engine failure on the highway. Vehicle came to a sudden halt almost causing an accident with a semitruck. Mechanic diagnosed as a failed rod bearing.

The engine began making an metallic clicking noise that increased with engine RPM. I made an appointment with the local Honda dealership service center as soon as possible. The Honda dealership inspected the engine valve springs and the connecting rod bearings. The connecting rod bearings had failed but I had brought the vehicle in to the service center quickly enough that the failed connecting rod bearings did not appear to damage the crankshaft. The options I was provided with were to either replace the engine or replace the connecting rod bearings and connecting rod bolts with no warranty on the work as they could not guarantee the crankshaft had not been damaged. I provided all receipts for engine oil changes, engine oil filter changes, and engine air filter changes to Honda USA. Despite having an active recall for this exact problem (connecting rod bearing failure) on other 2017 Honda Ridgeline's with the same 3.5L V6 Engine, and performing all maintenance as needed with proof provided to Honda USA they denied my claim for vehicle age and mileage. My VIN was not included on the recall. I opted to have the connecting rod bearing, and connecting rod bolts replaced at the Honda dealership and had to pay out of pocket with no reimbursement from Honda, and no warranty on the work performed.

In August of 2023 the engine seized up. It had about 120,000. I took it to the local Honda Dealership and they said the engine had no compression, engine knocking was valves and suspected bent valves in head. I was offered a used engine for about $9,000. I ended up trading the vehicle in on a new Subaru and was given $4,000 as trade-in. I just read an article that this agency is investing a crankshaft and connecting rod bearing issue with Honda engines including the make and year of my car. I think what happened to me is exactly what you are investigating.

Engine started pinging on the Freeway. Pulled over immediately and had it towed by Auto Club to Morgan Auto Repair in Tracy, California. After diagnostics, they determined that the crankshaft was impaired by connecting rod bearing failure. Morgan Auto repair confirmed that the engine HAD THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL AND DID NOT OVERHEAT. The engine is still fully intact(i,e no destruction to the engine block).

Engine Push Rod on recall lists

The Drive Train / Transmission has always had a "pause" then a "clunk" before shifting into or from Reverse gear, its worse now. The engine is starting to make noises and Im afraid its part of the engine recall of 2017 and it may fail and injury me while driving. I take excellent care of my truck and its only adult driven by me, hence the concern.

Engine is seized.104k with regular and mostly dealer service, no MIL, fluids were in spec.

Driving home from work, my truck began to have a ticking sound from r/h front engine area. I drove the vehicle home. By the time I reached home the ticking sound became much louder. So, I shut off the vehicle and made an appointment with the dealership. I gingerly drove my truck to the dealership. By the time I arrived, I had a flashing engine light, and the sound had become much louder. The dealership looked at my truck and told me I needed an engine replacement.

[XXX], driving under normal conditions, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline truck suddenly burst into flames from under the engine hood. No warning lights lit, only a loud and very sudden bang was heard. Only with the good fortune that other motorists flagged down my wife who was driving. She stopped immediately and they helped her escape from the truck, after she turned it off. The flames subsided but unaware of what was the issue, she called 911 emergency services, and seven firefighters arrived from opposite directions to ensure the truck would not explode or burn after a thorough investigation. The Orillia, Ontario OPP has this event recorded as they dispatched the 911 emergency call. The next day, we had the truck towed to a local garage and it was determined after some investigation that the engine has seized. It is now understood that a Honda Service Bulletin #23-097 includes the safety recall for our truck. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2017 honda Ridgeline started making loud noises coming from the engine. I took it to autozone and they used there diagnostic tool and all that came up was an issue with the oxygen getting into the fuel due to an issue with the fuel injector. On my way home it stopped running as I was making a turn. Mechanic confirmed engine failure. I did research and typed my vin into Kelly blue book recall section and 7 recalls came up, including the engine. But when I called Honda they said only 2 recalls were associated with my VIN.I take good care of my truck and there is not reason why my engine would fail unless there was an issue with manufacturing, or one of the other recalls caused the engine to fail. I purchased my truck for $30k a few years ago and I can’t afford for it to completely inoperable and am certain the engine seized because of a manufacturing issue.

Our 2017 Honda Ridgeline started making a rattling sound coming from the engine compartment. We took it to our local mechanic, who determined the engine rod bearing had failed and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the local Honda dealer for repair in case it was covered under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V751000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The dealer diagnosed that the engine rod bearing had failed and the engine needed to be replaced, but would not cover cost of the repair since the truck's VIN was not included in the recall even though the truck had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The truck had only 72,000 miles on it and had been regularly maintained. Per my mechanic, it should not have failed in this manner. In fact, he'd never seen a failure like this on a relatively low mile vehicle that had been maintained. I believe that the recall needs to be re-examined to see if the scope needs to be broadened to include more VINs. Based on my mechanics input and the nature of the current recall, I don't believe this failure was just an "bad luck" outlier.

Vehicle appears to have rod bearing failure and is available for inspection. Myself and family are at risk for being in a serious accident and/or stranded should catastrophic engine failure occur. Problem has been reproduced and confirmed by dealer (Howdy Honda Austin, TX). There is an existing technical service bulletin (TSB 24-002) for this issue and dealer believes my vehicle is affected, but my VIN does not show in affected VIN database. Vehicle has been inspected, but not affected part since that would require opening up the engine block. No warnings, just the engine knock which showed up a couple months ago. Besides taking vehicle to dealer for inspection, vehicle has been parked.

On our way home the motor started ticking loudly and more and more loss of power. All the dash lights came on with the check engine light. We called the dealer and they said to bring it in. We babied it another mile and could no longer go more than 20 mph. We pulled over as soon as we could and the motor couldn’t go any more. Had it towed to the dealership and they said the whole fuel injection system failed and then discovered the rod bearings were destroyed. The car only had 84,000 miles on it and we have only owned it since November of 2023 we had the last service done at the dealership. I know the VIN isn’t right for the recall of the 2017 Ridgelines rod bearings but so many other people have had the same problem. I feel it should at least be looked into more. I do not have a repair invoice yet because it is still at the dealership waiting for a motor to be delivered to put in it.

There was an engine failure with a rod bearing in the engine. I believe the engine is still available at the shop that replaced it for review. I have already raised this issue with Honda and they were not interested in seeing the motor. The truck stalled out on the highway on the way to work during high traffic time. The truck was looked at by an independent auto repair shop. After the failure the engine did restart, and it was obvious by the noise that it had a bearing failure. There were no symptoms that the engine would fail before failure. at the time of the failure the engine light did come on. After the failure I learned that this exact year and model of truck had a recall for the exact issue that I had. I contacted Honda dealership before I had the repair completed and they said they would reach out to the Honda representative to see if there was anything they were willing to do. Nobody got back to me until several weeks later after I contacted Honda customer service on 3/21/24. Honda customer service sent me an email on 4/11/2024 after the engine was replaced. I was told since the engine was already replaced there was nothing they could do. I believe that Honda knows that this bearing recall affects many more vehicles including mine and are trying to save money by not releasing the true scope of the vehicles that may be affected. I will attach a copy of the bill for the engine replacement.

Rod bearings failed, leaving metal shards in the pistons which causes engine the to overheat and seize or catch fire. The engine noise was getting increasingly loud over a 3 day period so I took it into the dealership (Honda of Seattle) and they found rod bearings had worn apart and were floating around inside the engine. This requires a full engine replacement. There were no warning lamps.

Over the past 15 months, our 2017 Honda Ridgeline has been at the Honda dealership service for over 90 days, or 20% of the elapsed time. A 2nd replacement of the torque converter (3rd unit) in March 2024 has not resolved the judder/vibration, which does not occur when the engine temperature is cold. The vibration is consistently recurring once the engine has reached nominal operating temperature, when the transmission is in 4th-5th gear around 1800 RPM, 30-50 MPH. Based on the dealership-attempted fixes, the dealer believes the issue is due to Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) and Active Control Mount (ACM) degradation. The dealer, in contact with Honda tech line, have no known fix to this systemic defect. The vehicle has been 100% serviced at Fisher Honda per the factory maintenance schedule. All recommended and required service, including Technical Service Bulletins and Recalls have been performed and are up-to-date. Reference earlier NHTSA ID 11554673 (Nov 2023).

The check engine light came on while driving on the highway. I then pulled over to check oil and coolant levels. The coolant was down but not empty, so I topped it up. I then restarted the truck and the engine was down on power and I had to limp it to the dealership. The dealership confirmed that the engine was blown, likely due to a connecting rod bearing failure. Now I am waiting for Honda to make a call on it because it is out of warranty.

I was in line waiting for a pick up order when all of a sudden my ridgeline just stopped - engine kicked off - no warning lights came on ahead of this incident - there were no noises from the truck beforehand - no early indication that something like this was going to happen - thank G.. I was in line at MacDonald's and not on the highway. Engine just seized. I have taken my ridgeline to Honda - and they have said that they can't figure out why this happened - surprised for a ridgeline with 100,000 miles - it's been serviced at appropriate times. There were some recalls on it, but not one that would cause this issue - however , we did see if the NHTSA site that many 2017 ridgelines are being recalls due to manufacturing errors - we feel that honda should assume some responsibility.

My 2017 Honda Ridgeline began making an odd noise, so I took it to my dealer. They diagnosed failed connecting rod bearings, which have sent metal shavings throughout the engine. The only repair would be an engine swap, which would cost almost the value of the vehicle. I cannot drive the vehicle as is due to the potential of catastrophic engine failure. Certain 2017 and 2019 Ridgelines are under recall for this same issue, but mine was manufactured 5 months later than the select few 2017 Ridgelines they have included. Honda will not cover my engine under recall or goodwill. I am left with a worthless vehicle that would have been very dangerous to continue driving. Please urge Honda to expand the recall. I'm sure I am not the only one in this unfortunate situation.

My Honda Ridgeline 2017 it started to not accelerate and a lot of lights came on. Check engine light, power steering, cruise control, abs, etc. The truck only goes 20-23 mph and it wouldn't run. Thank God i wasn't in the high or i would have crashed. i went to my nearest autozone to see what was going on and they told me that the Camshaft position sensor is damage . and it do the fact that the camshaft is hitting the sensor. They took me that a lot of Honda's were having this problem. I should call the Honda Dealer. I then call them and told them was had happened, they responded that it would probably need a new engine or an rebuild. A

Was driving on 2 lane highway when truck suddenly decelerated, started shuddering, so I pulled to side of road. Dash lights started cycling through warning lights, ultimately settled on saying it was an emission system problem. Car would not accelerate beyond 30-35 miles an hour after that and would even then suddenly lose power then regain it. But still could not get above 30 or 35 miles an hour. Luckily, no one was behind when this happened and I was able to pull to the side of the road. Normally this is a 55-60 mile an hour busy 2 lane highway. And I was less than a mile from home so was able to limp home. The next morning, tried to drive to the dealer, and had to return home because it would speed up to 45-50, but then would do the same thing again that I described above. Had to get the car towed to the dealer. I checked the OBD scanner and it said the problem was P0087, Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low. Dealer said it was that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Vehicle has about 93,000 miles and is a 2017 model. Don't have the repair invoice yet, picking up the vehicle and paying the $1,700 dollar repair bill this afternoon. Can provide it later if you need/want it.

My wife was driving our 2017 Honda Ridgeline when the engine suddenly stopped running and she lost power steering. She was able to coast a short distance as close to the side of the road as possible. Luckily she was only a hundred yards or so from our house on a quiet side street, however if it had been 20-30 seconds earlier she would have been on the highway or in the middle of a major intersection. There were no warnings or any other indication of a problem. The engine would not start despite a full charge on the battery. After towing it to the dealer for service, the engine was completely seized and they diagnosed it as the connecting rod bearing. The only remedy offered was full engine replacement. Hours after paying $9k for the repair, we saw news articles about NHTSA Campaign 23V751000 for 2017 Honda Ridgelines regarding a manufacturing error for the connecting rod bearing causing engine wear and may cause the engine to seize. Exactly the issue with our 2017 Ridgeline. Our VIN does not show in the campaign, so I believe Honda has mistakenly narrowed the breadth of the campaign or surreptitiously removed our VIN by the dealer since we had already paid on our own. There is also no way for me to verify that the replacement engine will not suffer the same issue. We opted for a used engine over OEM to save money, but were intentionally not warned about the recall before making the choice.

Gas smell coming from under the hood and in the cabin on my 2017 honda ridgeline after it warms up. ( believe this could be a safety issue because of the gas fumes.) I contacted Honda ( manufacturer ) and was told their was no recall for this issue. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to find any leaks but stated the could do a fuel system repair for $626.00 and a direct inject service for $240.00 Truck had no codes or messages come up.

Complete engine failure at 76,333. Vehicle failed after exiting highway after slowing down to merge with traffic on side road. There was no warning lights displayed prior to failure. It left my son and I trapped in an unsafe situation. Failure could have resulted in being rear ended and/or having an abrupt stop from the engine seizing had we not exited the highway when we did. The problem was confirmed by dealer as a complete engine failure (locked up) with no confirmed cause. We were unable to diagnose at independent repair shop as dealer had removed timing belt which was confirmed by dealer as being intact. All fluids were confirmed clean and sufficiently intact. There was no indication of problem or warning lights prior to complete failure. Dash displays indicated normal temperatures and pressures.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. Additionally, an unknown warning light was illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that there was a fault with the emissions system. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,248.

When accelerating the engine bogs down and runs rough. All warning lights come on. After shutting off the engine and restarting everything appears to run normally however the warning lights stay on the cruise control does not work. After a couple of days the warning lights went off and everything worked as normal. The same problem manifested again while accelerating. The first incident happened Aug. 26, 2023, the second incident happened on Sept. 3, 2023.

Lost brakes as I was trying to decelerate to make a left turn on FM 1472, still managed to come to a stop before hitting the traffic ahead of me that was also waiting to make a left turn. Smoke started to come out from the wheel wells. Put vehicle on parking, shut off engine, opened hood and found fire coming out from the back of the engine bay. Extinguished fire with a Fire extinguisher, and a few minutes later, a Fire Dept Truck arrived to hose it just to make sure it was properly extinguished. Waiting for Cause and Origin investigator from the insurance to inspect the vehicle.

VEHICLE BEGAN TO DISPLAY WARNING LIGHTS: VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) PROBLEM, EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM, ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM AND TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM (TSA.) ONCE LIGHTS APPEAR, THE TRUCK GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE RESTRICTING ACCELERATION TO 2,000 RPMS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE (DANGEROUS IF PULLING ONTO A BUSY ROAD) OR IF LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND RPMS OVER 2,000 THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY DOWN SHIFTS MAKING A DANGEROUS DECELERATION (ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY.) HONDA DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD CAMSHAFT, CAMSHAFT THRUST COVER AND CMP SENSOR (AS NOTED IN HONDA SERVICE NEWS ARTICLE FROM JANUARY 2018 A18010I VERSION 1.) AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR, IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM BY HONDA RESULTING FROM A DEFECTIVE CAM SHAFT. HOWEVER, HONDA REFUSED TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. IT'S A $2,300 REPAIR FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND 69,000 MILES. I'VE MADE A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORP, MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND NOW NHTSA.

2 WEEKS AGO MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE (POWER STEERING, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST, HILL START ASSIST, TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST, EMISSION CONTROL, ETC.). AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE BECAME SLUGGISH. ACCELERATION, SHIFTING AND BRAKING WERE ALL EFFECTED. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHTS WERE OFF, ONLY TO REAPPEAR WITH ALL ISSUES THE DAY AFTER. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO 'RESET', AND THAT WORKED FOR 1 DAY. I THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH THE SAME RESULT. NOW THE PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. ALL WARNINGS SHOW UP BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

ON FEBRUARY 4TH, 2019, I PARALLEL PARKED MY VEHICLE AT 9AM ON THE STREET. AT ABOUT 4PM THAT DAY, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED ME THAT MY 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE WAS ON FIRE. MY RIDGELINE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED ON THE STREET, AND IT WAS A RAINY DAY. THE FIRE FIGHTER TOLD ME THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD IN THE ENGINE AREA. THE RIDGELINE WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HOPES OF FINDING THE CAUSE OF THE SPONTANEOUS FIRE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DID NOT EVEN OPEN THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE SPONTANEOUS FIRE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE SPONTANEOUS FIRE CAN HARM AND POTENTIALLY KILL PEOPLE INSIDE OR AROUND THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS HARM NEARBY BUILDINGS. THIS IS ALSO NOT THE FIRST 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE TO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE.

NEW 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE TRUCK WHEN PUT IN REVERSE FROM DRIVE (STOP POSITION) THE VEHICLE WOULD GO FORWARD NOT BACKWARDS. AFTER ONE MONTH THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON AND HONDA DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. THE DAY AFTER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT THE SHIFT POSITION SHIFTER ON THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION SWITCH WENT BAD AND WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DOWNSHIFT ODDLY WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF ACCELERATOR. THIS IS WITH THE REPLACED REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION ON MY 4 MONTH OLD VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DRIVE LIKE A NORMAL NEW CAR. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A VERY LOUD WIND NOISE COMING FROM BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR WHEN DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE/FREEWAY. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO PROBLEMS EXIST IF A LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON TO SAY FAILURE THEN EVERYTHING IS OK. THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT COMPLETELY DOCUMENT WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE WHEN YOU TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS. NO CONSOLIDATION OF INFORMATION FROM HONDA TO REPORT PROBLEMS FROM MULTIPLE CONSUMERS. I HAVE SPENT HOURS/DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS NEW VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEMS HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED.
