What owners wrote
2006 honda ridgeline major production defect.** answer required***. Outside water somehow entered the vehicle through the chassis into the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Currently the dealer is working on the vehicle to correct the problem. The consumer was informed that the fender of the chassis would require disassembling in order to access the problem area. He was also told the this procedure involved sealing certain area that were not sealed properly during production.
My 2006 honda ridgeline lower trunk compartment lid will not open. It clicks like it wants to open but nothing. The key will only turn to about the 1o'clock position and will not turn to the left at all, if is supposed to at all. The clove compartment switch works because when I put it on lock the mechanism will not click at all...which is what's supposed to happen.
