2025 Honda Ridgeline exterior lighting problems

“I purchased this Honda Ridgeline xxx. My first time driving at night I noticed the auto-dimming headlights were dimming for roadsigns and not dimming far enough in advance for oncoming vehicles. On XXX while driving at night I took my first video of the auto-dimming headlight operation - the Ridgeline had 635 total mileage at this time. Several videos have been taken since. The vehicle will also issue "Brake" warnings while going around right hand curves with oncoming traffic in the other lane. Frustrating to say the least. Today is XXX and I am at the [XXX] Honda dealership trying to get this fixed, again. Now the want to change a radar module, but I brought the vehicle here today to get the auto-dimming headlights fixed. This fix, I believe is more like a Hail-mary attempt by Honda to fix their auto-dimming headlight system - the Service tech told me: there is no software fix for the auto dimming headlight issue and this radar module could potentially fix the auto-dimming issue About two weeks prior to this I had my Ridgeline to this same dealership when they tried fixing the auto-dimming headlight system. That attempt did not work. Hence I'm here for the…”

“I own a 2025 Honda Ridgeline that has experienced recurring problems with both the braking system warnings and the automatic high-beam headlight system. The vehicle displays brake-related warnings and has provided what appear to be false brake system indications. At times, the steering wheel also exhibits a shimmy or vibration when there is no apparent road condition or braking event that should cause it. These issues occur intermittently and are difficult to predict, creating concern that the vehicle's safety systems may not be operating properly. I experience this every time I drive the vehicle. I drive 2.5 hours per day back and forth work related and on average BRAKE BRAKE will come on 2 times. Always on non-highway roads. Does not occur on Hi-way The auto high-beam feature does not function reliably. The system fails to activate the high beams on dark roads, even in conditions where the feature should engage. At other times, the high beams will flicker on and off repeatedly or disengage unexpectedly. The operation is erratic and inconsistent, reducing visibility during nighttime driving and creating a safety concern. The vehicle was brought to a Honda…”

“The automatic high beams on my ridgeline tend to be a saftery issue the do not function correctly many owners report they have this issue as well there has been no damage yet however they have not worked since factory I've asked the dealer about it ans have been told it's normal”

“This 2025 Honda Ridgeline has an auto high beam function. When the headlights are on, the auto high beam will cycle on and off for absolutely no reason. Often only 3-5 seconds apart. There will be no oncoming traffic and no road signs illuminated by the headlights that would possibly confuse the system that a vehicle is approaching. ALSO, the forward collision warning system is way too sensitive. It will often either flash a brake warning on the dash, or actually activate the braking system when it is not needed. This occurs often when on a two lane road, slight curve and traffic approaches in the opposite lane.”

“Auto bright headlight feature malfunctions constant when on almost to thr effect of a strobe light. Street lights, reflective street markings, reflective road signs, all make it disbale. When it actually does need to disable when another car is approaching it doesn't cut off early enough blinding on coming traffic. The system doesn't work period and is very distracting, and very dangerous.”

“Automatic high beam headlights fail to work properly most of the time will not go back to low beams when a vehicle is in the opposite lane also will not go to high beams when no vehicles are in sight very frustrating and dangerous”
