Honda
Ridgeline

Between 1,000-1,400 rpm there is a lower end engine knock.sounds like a bearing.

I was driving alone on US-HWY 45 in Chunchula, AL......I heard the loudest noise ever sounded like a high power rifle blast in my ear then I was showered with glass. The sunroof exploded. I had a police report written, I literally thought I had been shot at. There was only myself and one other very small vehicle way ahead of me. No trees hanging over the road or anything.

While idling at a traffic light,2 systems shut down: Adaptive Cruise Control & Road Departure Mitigation System. Also the BRAKE SYSTEM light came on, but the brakes continued to work.

Using the Automatic High Beam system, the high beam may come on even if a car is coming toward me. Sometimes, the high beam will not transition to low beam until the incoming car is real close to me. The incoming car would put his high beam on to warn me. As well, the high bean can randomly transition to low beam for no reason. And a second after, come back to high beam. Really dangerous. I had other cars with this system and never had that kind of problems.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, there was an extremely loud banging noise detected, and the sunroof exploded upward and outward without warning or impact. The driver and his wife sustained a piercing, ringing sound in the ears, but medical attention was not provided. The local dealer was contacted, where it was diagnosed, but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 12,246.

Auto-dimming headlights do not work properly, not always dimming for oncoming traffic, and/or randomly switching between high and low beams without cause. This blinds and confuses oncoming traffic.

The auto High beam function on this vehicle is absolutely useless. It dims when it should be on. It dims needlessly for highway markers and road signs. The constant on and off of the high beams on a dark road with no other cars is dangerous. This system on the ridgeline is dangerous. I have the system on other cars and it works almost perfectly but not in this vehicle.
