2019 Honda Ridgeline fuel/propulsion system problems

“My wife and I had decided to empty our storage unit, so on Memorial Day we began moving everything into the garage. After five or six trips Honda, I pulled the car up beside the RV and close to the house for what turned out to be the last load. I unloaded my bicycle and nearly everything else, leaving only a few small items, and then removed the massage table from the back seat. The engine was off this entire time. That was when I noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. At first, I thought the radiator had overheated, so I tried to open the hood, but it was too hot. I went into the garage for gloves and a fire extinguisher and tried again, but still could not get it open. Realizing the situation was getting worse and that I could not stop it there, I jumped into the car and tried to start it. To my surprise, it started immediately, and I drove it as fast as I could out to the street in front of the house. Only later did I realize that this likely saved my RV—and possibly the front of my house as well—from catching fire. We were so blessed that I was able to move the car to a safer location and no one was hurt. It was a miracle.”

“I own a 2019 Honda Ridgeline rtl. I presently have 66000 miles and am having issues with my engine emmision system, the number 2 sensor keeps going off and on and fuel rpm at 1.5 make my truck sputter until it gets pass 2 rpms. The lights going off and on! And the media system goes from music to GPS and volume goes up and down spontaneously! Honda in Calhallen Texas say no recalls on it! Not sure what is going on i just don't want it to leave me in the road! I take care of my vehicles with the miles it has it shouldn't be having these many mechanical problems. Hope you can help or advise!”

“The vehicle lurches forward when accelerating. You start off from a stand still, as you are accelerating the vehicle slows, then speeds up, then slows then speeds up. this happens multiple time. You can watch the tachometer, it goes up then down, then up then down. It can happen 10, 20 times while accelerating.”

“Transmission jerks when shifting thru gears, car shudders and rpms jump when both upshifting and downshifting. Have had the transmission serviced several times by Honda dealer, fluids changed and updated with no change in performance.”

“Emissions System Problem Alert message and Check Engine Light came on Jan 27th 2024. Vehicle Mileage at this point was 59,960. I took my 2019 2WD Ridgeline Sport in for service early Feb. 2024 to have the problem investigated. It was deemed as bad Fuel Injectors. Parts were not in stock and were ordered. The Check Engine Light and the Alert went away the very next day. Then there was a recall issued for the fuel pump around mid February 2024. Parts were not available so it was ordered. Fast forward to March (No Check Engine Light or Alerts) I did some research on fuel pump issues and found that it could cause the Check Engine light to come on and the Emissions System alert. March 22nd I took it in for the fuel pump replacement, upon arrival they stated that the fuel injectors were in and they would replace those as well. I declined them being replaced based upon my fuel pump research. Fuel pump replaced only. Between March 22nd 2024 and Oct 2 2024 (No Check Engine Lights or Emissions System Alerts) Oct 3rd both the Alert and Check Engine light came on and then went off the very next day. January 7 2025 the alert and check engine light returned and stayed on for…”

“I had to replace a bank of injectors and I only had about 75000 miles on vehicle. this is a defect they should not fail so early. They are TSB and recalls on my model just not my VIN”
