I delivered my vehicle to a Honda dealership in July 2025. They inspected the vehicle and agreed to replace the fuel tank. Since then, I have been receiving notifications that the fuel tank is back ordered with no ETA. I am continuing to pay insurance registration for this vehicle and I’m unable to use it. I would suggest that at this point Honda needs to buy it back.

Hello, I own a 2008 Honda Ridgeline. The vehicle’s rear frame is corrode after exposure to road salt. The fuel tank might detach from the truck and cause a fire. I checked open recalls and nothing is currently open. I’m afraid of driving the vehicle due to this issue. Thank you
My 2008 Honda RIdgeline has a frame rusted to the point where it has been deemed unsafe to drive by my local Honda dealership and Honda USA. My 2008 Honda Ridgeline is PA titled and was involved in recall 22V-430 (NHTSA recall number) / 22-021 (Honda recall number). I took my truck into Wright Honda (Uniontown, PA) on June 2nd, 2023 for the 2006-2014 Ridgeline Rear Frame Repair Safety Recall. The truck is available for inspection, and Honda USA has several pictures of the frame problems that they evaluated. When Wright Honda performed the recall work, they informed me that the frame rust is so severe that it is not safe to drive and it will not pass inspection; they recommended that I tow it home (at my expense, which is what I had to do). I asked them if my truck might be considered for a buyback. They told me that Honda USA did request more pictures and that someone from Honda USA would be in touch with me. Basically, after speaking to a case manager and supervisor, Honda USA told me that the frame corrosion is my responsibility because they performed their recall. The Honda USA technician Eric (4605592) agreed that the frame rust is so bad that is should not be driven on a road. So although multiple parties at Honda agree that my frame rust is so severe that I can no longer drive the truck, and there is a recall regarding frame rust on my Ridgeline, Honda refuses to take responsibility and either replace the frame or buy it back. The recall was to prevent the gas tank from falling off and catching fire. I think it is equally important for Honda to take care of frames that may break while driving, killing everyone in the truck, when it is known that the frame corrosion is already a problem because of a Honda quality control issue.
The truck frame is extremely rusted. I can push my finger through multiple locations on the frame.

I REPLACED THE RADIATOR AS I SAW COUNTLESS PEOPLE ONLINE WITH SAME ISSUE. THE TRANS LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR RUPTURED PUTTING INTO CIRCULATION THE COOLANT/TRANS FLUID MIXTURE THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE AND HEATER CORE. FORTUNATELY THIS TRANS FLUID MIXTURE WAS NOT BEING SUCKED BACK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, PURELY A MIRACLE IN THIS CASE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS A FAULT IN ENGINEERING, AND NOT "IF" THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR VEHICLE IS A MATTER OF WHEN. THIS CAR HAS 140K ON IT AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED, NO REASON FOR THIS FAILURE HAVE HAD CARS WITH 300K NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL, DEALER STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME TO REPLACE AFTER THEY WERE CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE REPAIR(THEY WERE GOING TO CALL WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN).
TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LAST SPRING TOOK ABOUT 5 OR 6 MONTHS BEFORE MY DEALERSHIP IN DUBUQUE IOWA EVEN GOT THEM IN. I CALLED A COUPLE TIMES SINCE THIS WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ME AND MY FAMILY AROUND ON TRIPS AND SO FOURTH. STILL GOT A RESPONSE THAT HONDA CREATED THE RECALL WITH NUMEROUS COMPANIES, AND CAN'T PRODUCE ALL THESE AIRBAGS. MAYBE THEY SHOULD OF THOUGHT OF THAT B4 THE RECALL.... SO I THINK HONDA OR SOMEONE SHOULD OF PAID ME COMPENSATION FOR DRIVING A VEHICLE AROUND THAT WASN'T SAFE AT ALL IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN SOME WAY? I DON'T KNOW EXACT DATE THE FIRST AIRBAG RECALL CAME OUT
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED DUE TO A FAULTY INFLATOR. THE LETTER STATES THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS "WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." WE ARE NOW INTO THE THIRD WEEK OF JANUARY 2017, AND WHEN I SPOKE WITH HONDA LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS FOR 6 MONTHS AND HONDA COULD GIVE ME NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN I CAN EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.
TAKATA RECALL. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE A JULY, 2016 NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. PLANET HONDA IN LAKEWOOD COLORADO ORDERED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS ON 7/6/16 SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED FROM HONDA THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I FINALLY RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE DEALER THAT PARTS WERE IN AND THE DEALER INSTALLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE BAG ON 9/17/16, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG HAD NOT ARRIVED, BUT STILL ON ORDER. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TWO TIMES, AND BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THIS DELAY IS CAUSING GREAT INCONVENIENCE IN MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF LACK OF PASSENGER CAPACITY. I GET THE FEELING THAT HONDA IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY FASHION
