Honda haters here
I own a ridgeline, best car ever
The 3rd gen is sick!
excellent vid, would love to see more of these
Thank you! Stay tuned!
99% of youtube videos, comments and reviews are positive, but nothing gets a perfect score so this video had to exist!
Ridgeline outperforms!! I'm thinking all this hate is originating from competitors because it actually competes.
My 2017 Ridgeline transmission needed replaced at 52,500 miles, symptoms were noticed at 48,908 miles. I lost $10000.00 on trade in value.
What was wrong? Symptoms?
Bumping the post. We need a follow up on the man question.
@@curtshumaker5768 don't think he will any time soon. I have a 2017 RTL-E with 62k miles. Most city driving which is even harder on auto transmissions. But I did an oil change 3 times already. Only thing I heard about is the tourqe converter. High failure rate if you have old oil in it.
@@TermlessHGWyeah I dug in about that 6 speed - it’s way under built for even the weight of the truck.
It’s basically an accord tranny.
Honda did well dumping this for a ZF9
I live in Nigeria and am thinking of getting a used one 2017 model but am scared of the transmission issues. We have extreme rains and mud during the rainy season It will never tow, or carry heavy load just driving from my home to my poultry. It's just that transmission that scares me. I will also get a Tacoma with the Ridgeline
Did you get one?
Can’t afford it
My instrument cluster just went out on my 2018 Ridgeline. Not uncommon. One estimate to replace was $1600.
Nope, terrible transmissions... mine went out at 48k mi.
What year was it if you don't mind me asking? I've been on the fence on the Ridgeline because I just don't trust the zf 9HP transmission.
@@cap_1stuperman536 It was a 2019 RTL-E 6-AT. The irony is I bought a used 2019 specifically because it had a 6-speed, because l too was not keen on the German 9-speed.
There's actually an extended warranty on the 6-speeds... that's how problematic they are; that was issued in a service bulletin in Sept. So, that makes it 6yr/120k mi. I think. Well, 2025 is just right around the corner, so it's still a crap warranty, for a crap transmission.
Now, here's the thing: they won't replace the transmission until complete failure... when the idiot-lights come on, and you limp to the dealership; during which time, they'll advise a drain/triple-flush/fill, which, I was told, might remedy the problem. This will cost around $900.00... they will not do it for free. Well, it didn't fix anything, and I had to wait about 1500 miles for complete failure to get it replaced.
And, they probably replaced it with the same crappy transmission.
There’s a class action lawsuit against Honda for the 9 spd transmission. Do your homework before purchasing.
@@cap_1stuperman536 I have a 2017 RTL-E with the 6 speed and 62k mostly city miles. No problems so far with regular transmission oil changes. Furthermore I had a 2023 Ridgeline as a loaner for a week and the 9 speed felt so awkward and slow around city I was really suprised.
These AI generated videos suck.
This video is not AI generated, please stop spreading misinformation on my channel.
Definitely do NOT buy the Honda, piece of junk and the dealer does not even know how to maintain. If I stop one person from buying a Ridgeline I have helped somebody.
What makes you say that? Just curious. Toyotas are reliable so are Hondas. I would never consider ford or gm reliable
@@aaronroy9825 he's talking bs. Or was just unlucky. My 17 is rock solid and the dealer, DCH Kay Honda in Eatontown, NJ is amazing. I even do my oil change there. But the Honda dealer closest to me is crap. So it definitely does make a difference cuz not all of them are the same.
