Ridgeline first year woes...?
Without my wife's knowledge, I am thinking of getting a Ridgeline...
if nothing else, I am just toying with the idea for giggles... I have heard of many problems with any car company's first production year of a new model... Are there any owners of a 2006 Ridgeline (I think 2006 was the first year for it) that have experienced any issues with the Ridgeline? We are a honda family. Ive owned an 88 accord, a 97 accord, and we currently have a 2003 accord. We have always been happy with Honda... but ya never know with a new model... Thanks in advance! Jazz Mann |

No problems except radio antenna, which was promptly repaired by dealer. Great, tough little truck. I would buy another one. Problem is, wife may take the Ridgeline away from you once she drives it.

There is a tremendous amount of information there. I too have been thinking about buying one, but there have been leak issues (water leaks) in the cabin and a few other items regarding lack of build quality (compared to traditional honda expectations). Consumer Reports has it as only Average (better than most, but not honda standards again). But check out the Roc. |

Good call ROC, sounds alot like the F-series Fords when they came out
with the new design. My boss has one and his cabin leaks in the back near the rear window. When I saw it I said (to myself) "Typical American quality" so I dont want to eat those words if/when I buy a Ridgeline. Thanks for your info as well Ed.

My 2005 Odyssey is only rated average too for repairs by Consumer reports
but so far it has been perfect. "Jazz" > wrote in message ups.com... > Good call ROC, sounds alot like the F-series Fords when they came out > with the new design.
