The rear crossmember of the Honda Ridgeline 2013 RTL where the trailer hitch is attached is rusted through which could break when towing or driving causing an accident. I think Honda should weld a plate onto the crossmember beam and undercoat it. Thank you

The shade is the only thing that kept the shattered glass from falling into the vehicle and onto me. If the shade had been open, the glass would have fallen on to me and any passengers, possibly causing injury or dea... Read more

When I come to a stop, in an attempt to park, I will shift into park but a message will appear on my dash saying to shift to park this prevents me from shutting off the vehicle. The issue is persistent at times, but happens intermittently.

Shift to park message began appearing even after the shifter knob was in park. I cannot turn the vehicle off and it rolled backwards due to the vehicle not recognizing it was in park. This has now cost $700 to repair when its been a known issue with these vehicles for over 6 years and yet they refuse to issue a recall. This is dangerous and disgusting practice for a vehicle manufacturer to avoi... Read more
