Seats Problems of Honda Ridgeline

This has something to do with circuit board for the seat sensor that activates air bag? I can’t get dealer to take care of recall. They keep saying we don’t have the parts. This is going on since at least September of last year. Why have recall if they aren’t going to do anything about it? they make appointments and then cancel. I have called Honda customer service number(twice) listed on the recall paper twice. Always get told to call dealer and talk to them. Dealer makes appointment and then cancels a few days before the date to bring it in. I have contacted dealer many times about this. Why issue a recall and then don’t fix anything?.

Because of well known water intrusion into the cabin from the firewall, over time the seat risers rust away, and then the compromised metal breaks, at which point the front of the seat is no longer bolted into the floor board. The seat swings backward uncommanded, and may is likely to startle driver, and cause crash. While the seat is swung backward, the driver has no control over his position in the vehicle. The seatbelt also becomes compromised as the seatbelt belt buckle is connected to the seat itself which itself becomes loose from the body of the vehicle. I have a video of the broken riser due to rusting over time due to the well known water intrusion issues. I can email you a video so you can see the danger of this issue.

Manual driver’s seat height adjustment slowly reverts to a lower height position without touching the manual mechanism. This is a daily occurrence. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the dealer or any other independent source. This problem began occurring shortly after purchasing the vehicle, or was unnoticed until then. An internet source that claimed to be a mechanic for my brand identified the problem requiring a new seat base, as the mechanism is built into that seat base.

The driver seat on my 2019 Ridgeline I believe is a safety hazard (potentially the passenger also). When braking they move forward with a thud. The same for speeding up as there is a noticeable thud. Dealer states it is the frame rail. In 2018 there was a recall for very similar issue for Honda pilot's (same seat and frame) due to the seat dislodging when in a accident. I believe this same thing will happen to me (and others possibly) as the problem seems to be getting worse and the dealer that sold me the car a few weeks ago says there are no recalls from Honda on this. I am having Honda corporate review the issue to see if this is covered under warrenty, but I still wanted to report this potential safety issue on 2019 Honda Ridgelines NHTSA recall number: 18v-221 mfr campaign t0t campaign description: 2018 pilot and Ridgeline front seat frame rivets safety recall recall date: 04/05/2018 recall status: 17 character VIN required summary: american Honda motor CO. , inc. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2018 pilot and Ridgeline vehicles. The driver and front passenger seats were assembled with improperly manufactured rivets used to secure the seat slide rail frame to the vehicle floor. Safety risk: in the event of a crash, the rivets can break and allow the front seat(s) to separate from the vehicle floor, increasing the risk of injury to the seated occupant.

Seat release handle is defective and breaks due to product design. Poor quality plastic material can not withstand tension from metal cable when actuated and a plastic component breaks inside the component of the seat lever causing seat to be locked in place which could potentially trap a child or the seat can not lock and stay in unlocked position and the seat will not flip up and rest in a lock position. Which is also a hazard because seat is not secured and will flop around. Honda does not sell the plastic part separately they are gouging the consumer by charging $477. 92 for a replacement kit when the only part needed is a $10 plastic handle, which can easily be switched out by consumer. Average dealer cost to replace is $799 for the repair. Contacted Honda they will not sell plastic handle separately and are aware at the issue with their product.

Whenever I drive the vehicle, my left foot goes numb after driving for only 5-15 minutes. My left foot and leg are very painful for the balance of the day anytime I drive the Ridgeline. (I am of average height and weight. ) I have reached out to the Honda dealership and american Honda (see correspondence) and they have not been helpful. I believe the problem is with the driver's seat, but it could also be in the floorboard of the vehicle. I stopped driving it for 2 weeks, and all my leg issues went away. When I resumed driving, the problems reoccurred. It happens every time I drive the Ridgeline. I purchased the vehicle brand new at maita Honda in citrus heights CA on 12-31-18.

Front drivers seat has become loose and will shift side to side upon turning a corner or traversing a speed bump. Presented problem to dealership where they stated that the front seat bolts/screws were tightened down yet this has not fixed the problem. This problem occurs all the time and has me concerned that the seat will ultimately become dislodged completely, potentially resulting in injury or an accident. Upon reading and researching seat problems with Honda on the internet, it appears as though this is a recurrent problem with Honda manufacturing across the board with many makes and model years.

My 2006 Honda Ridgeline driver’s seat frame is broken/loose. The first time it was found to be loose was at approximately 12000 miles and the dealer re torque the seat rails. The next time was the next oil change at approximately 17000 miles and the dealer re torque the seat rails. The next time was at approximately 25000 with the same action by the dealer. At 35000 miles the dealer re torque the seat rails. At 60000 the dealer tried to re torque the seat rails and the dealer told me that the seat frame was broken and that I would have to replace the seat frame and the dealer would have my extended warranty take care of it. Well I went back for the appointment and the dealer stated that the extended warranty would not cover the frame replacement and that Honda would only cover 50% of my cost $500. 00 to me.

Drivers seat is loose on the left hand corner and rocks back and forward when going over a bump, exiting off the road left or right when braking hard or accelerating.

I own a 2007 Honda Ridgeline. My wife complains about the passenger seat heating up all the time with the switch in the off position. I have also felt the heat in the passenger seat without the switch turned on. I have taken my truck to lucas Honda of jacksonville, FL several times and they keep telling me there is no problem. This problem persists, it is disheartening to have a problem that the dealer won't acknowledge and won't resolve! I hope this is not an electric issue that could lead to a fire in the vehicle.

The power driver's seat on my 2006 Honda Ridgeline moves (rocks) while driving normally. The dealer said that the entire seat would have to be replaced at a cost of $1200 (the vehicle is off warranty with 59,000 miles). I'm concerned about the integrity and safety of the front seat support in the event of a crash in this vehicle. I have driven the truck since new, and purchased it from the corporate leasing company. I don't think that I should have to pay for a safety issue caused by a manufacturer's defect or defective design. I have checked, and various other Honda vehicles have had similar complaints, and some have even had a TSB for the "rocking" seat repairs required (e. G. 2003 civic).

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.
