Interior seat fabric is defective in that it stains easily. the first time i noticed it was when i opened the door to get it when it was raining and the seats were discolored even when dry. other events such as using the armrest and it becoming discolored, etc. happened continuously. the dealer replaced the seats with honda's original materials only to have the same thing happen. i now use seat covers to protect from further damage-which is a hazard to the operation of the side airbags. i have been left with no other options. *tr | |||

While driving approximately 50mph, the back part of my roof (a 5ft by 8inch piece of steel!) broke loose and flew off completely. it barely missed the car behind me and the oncoming traffic. the dealership says this is not a safety issue. maybe not for the driver of the ridgeline but the driver behind me could have easily been decapitated... this is not an isolated incident as the dealership said they have seen this a few times (and i live in a small town)! | |||

While lowering the back seat to make room for people to ride to lunch i noticed the back floor was wet. we have had moderate rains in the area over the past two-three days. further examination revealed water puddled all the way across the entire back floor board, up the sides to both driver and front passenger floor boards. when i got home i pulled the truck in the garage and used a 5 gallon wet/dry vac and removed about 7.5 - 8 gallons of water from the truck. the carpet is still wet and ruined high likely hood of mold and mildew unless the carpet is removed and replaced. high potential for rust/corrosion unless the carpet is removed and the affected area is dried completely. i plan to take the truckin to the dealer asap. *tr |
