2017 HONDA RIDGELINE — Complaint #2102712
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN filed June 22, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2102712 (ODI reference 11668411) concerns a 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE and was filed on June 22, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 22, 2025. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA RIDGELINE cohort independently describe similar power train failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 HONDA RIDGELINE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Honda has an issue with the torque converters locking up on this vehicle year. Instead of fixing the issue through a recall, they pushed it off by extending the warranty. If the torque converter locks while driving the vehicle, the mostly likely outcome will be an accident. Honda should fix the issue through a recall, instead of the band-aid approach.
