Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2007Ridgeline first year woes...?
Without my wife's knowledge, I am thinking of getting a Ridgeline... if nothing else, I am just toying with the idea for giggles... I have heard of many problems with any car company's first production year of a new model... Are there any owners of a 2006 Ridgeline (I think 2006 was the first year for it) that have experienced any issues with the Ridgeline? We are a honda family. Ive owned an 88 accord, a 97 accord, and we currently have a 2003 accord. We have always been happy with Honda... but ya never know with a new model... Thanks in advance!

I would buy another one. Problem is, wife may take the Ridgeline away from you once she drives it.

There is a tremendous amount of information there. I too have been thinking about buying one, but there have been leak issues (water leaks) in the cabin and a few other items regarding lack of build quality (compared to traditional honda expectations). Consumer Reports has it as only Average (better than most, but not honda standards again). But check out the Roc. Good call ROC, sounds alot like the F-series Fords when they came out with the new design. My boss has one and his cabin leaks in the back near the rear window. When I saw it I said (to myself) "Typical American quality" so I dont want to eat those words if/when I buy a Ridgeline. Thanks for your info as well Ed.

Be aware that all brand specific newsgroups and "fan" web sites are going to have far more negative posts than positive. People who are pissed off post their gripes more often than those who are satisfied.  SignatureKent Finnell From the Music City USA My 2005 Odyssey is only rated average too for repairs by Consumer reports but so far it has been perfect. > Good call ROC, sounds alot like the F-series Fords when they came out > with the new design.

Correction... it is a 2006 bought when they first came out late 2005. > My 2005 Odyssey is only rated average too for repairs by Consumer reports > but so far it has been perfect.
