2 Tailgate problem of the 2017 Honda Ridgeline

Failure Date: 01/11/2019

The latch to open the tailgate on the vertical hinge clicks but does not open. This creates an unsafe condition because it appears the tailgate is is secured but the latch internally could be disengaged which would allow the gate to open unexpectedly while driving. I contacted Honda USA directly regarding this and they expect me to pay to repair it. I tried contacting them a second time via email with no response. Currently this is not repaired and I have to remember to check the tailgate to ensure it is secure each time before driving.

3 Tailgate problem of the 2017 Honda Ridgeline

Failure Date: 06/01/2017

There are some major electrical issues going on with this vehicle. The tailgate locks and will not open so we are not able to access the bed of the truck or the trunk in the bed. Also, the vehicle locks itself occasionally even with the key inside. The usb / plugs in the back seat of the vehicle do not work. The dealer did a diagnostic on the vehicle and found multiple faults. They reset the system back in June however the problem has started again. Now we are not able to use the tailgate at all.
