PAINT EASILY CHIPS
Beyond the normal wear and tear, multiple Honda Ridgeline owners have reported that the paints chips too easily, especially in areas prone to scuffing. If you spend much time off-roading, you can imagine how quickly chipped paint can escalate from annoying to damaging. Ridgeline owners also reported rocks kicked up by other vehicles chipping the paint. Once damaged, paint can be difficult to touch up with the right color. Make an appointment with Fremont Foreign Auto to install mudflaps or rock guards to protect your vehicle.
ENGINE PROBLEMS
Honda Ridgeline engines prove durable, but like any engine, they are prone to some regular issues. The most common issue reported by owners was valve springs, which can break and make the engine misfire. If you notice this, make an appointment as soon as possible because it can damage your catalytic converter and cause other engine issues. Regular maintenance at Freemont Foreign Auto can help you keep your Ridgeline’s engine at peak performance levels.
FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS
Owners frequently reported fuel pump problems with their Honda Ridgelines. The fuel pump is located inside the gas tank and is susceptible to rust damage and other contamination issues. Because the pump is inside the tank, it requires significant labor to change, making it an expensive and inconvenient repair. Fremont Foreign Auto can install a fuel tank liner to protect your Ridgeline’s tank.
TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS
Honda Ridgeline owners reported issues with the torque converter, which is part of the transmission system. If your vehicle’s transmission slips out of gear or starts making unusual noises, call Fremont Foreign Auto, so we can diagnose and repair the issue before it gets worse.
BRAKING ISSUES
The Honda Ridgeline uses anti-lock brakes, and numerous users reported braking issues as a common problem. The sensors that monitor the Ridgeline’s wheel speed and instruct the ABS how much force to use malfunction, making your truck harder to stop. We will inspect your brake system and repair or replace the faulty sensors.
