  It seems like there's an issue with the transmissions on my truck. The dealer couldn't replicate the problem because my temporary fix is to pull over, shut off the car, and then restart it. This usually works for a couple of weeks, but then the problem reoccurs. The jerky movement and strange noise indicate that there might be future transmission trouble. The dealer insists that the computer is fine. I'm considering getting rid of the truck because the dealership claims they can't resolve the issue.

  In 2019, the Honda Ridgeline experienced transmission issues such as jerky shifting, slipping, shuddering, and a faulty torque converter.

  Richard Klausner, have you found a solution for the issue of loud clunking and jerking in the transmission at 28 miles per hour? I've been experiencing this problem with my 2018 Ridgeline since hitting 40,000 miles. Despite torque converter and drive line replacements, the problem persists. The Honda dealer service department has had my truck for over 4 weeks and has been unable to diagnose the issue, attributing it to a complex system that may be beyond their abilities. If you have any advice on how to resolve this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

  On January 16, 2023, my vehicle's transmission would not shift properly until reaching speeds between 29-32 miles per hour, causing it to jerk and make a loud clunk every time I started from a stop. However, upon arriving at my destination and turning off the truck, the issue seemed to disappear when I returned a few hours later. I have scheduled an appointment with the Honda dealer for later today to have them inspect the problem. I have documented all the issues with my year Honda Ridgeline to show the service manager. Wish me luck as we take the vehicle into the shop tomorrow to see what they uncover. 😊

  2019 Honda Ridgeline experiences issues like torque converter slipping, erratic tachometer movement, and sudden power surges, especially in a vehicle with only 1500 miles. This occurrence is quite disappointing for the owner.

  Having difficulty switching gears from first when it's cold. Additionally, there's a clunking sound when it downshifts as you slow down.

  Just last week, the dashboard lights for my transmission system, blind spot system, and emission system all lit up. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the pressure sensor to resolve the issue. However, based on my research online, it seems that this may not be the root cause of the problem. I'm keeping a close eye on it since my car only has 43,000 miles on it, and the transmission shouldn't be giving me trouble like this.

  I've had this issue for most of the 3 1/2 years I've been leasing this car. The problem occurs when shifting up or down at low RPMs, and it seems like the car is constantly searching for gears. Even after three test drives, the mechanics couldn't replicate the issue and no error codes were found. I've heard that replacing the pressure switch or solenoid might help, but they still insist they can't reproduce the problem.

  On January 16, 2023, my vehicle's transmission was experiencing a problem where it wouldn't shift until reaching speeds between 29-32 miles per hour, causing a jerking motion and a loud clunk whenever I started from a stop. However, upon reaching my destination and restarting the truck a few hours later, the shifting issue seemed to have resolved itself. I have scheduled an appointment with the Honda dealer for tomorrow for them to diagnose the problem. I have compiled a list of all the issues encountered this year with my Honda Ridgeline to present to the service manager. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome!

  I've been experiencing the same issue with my 2019 Ridgeline where the transmission slips, especially in colder temperatures. I changed the fluid twice before the 60,000-mile warranty ran out, but that didn't resolve the problem. Eventually, the service light came on and remained on when my vehicle reached almost 70,000 miles. I took it to an Auto store to have the signal checked, and it turned out to be the third pressure switch causing the problem. After getting it replaced, I haven't had any slipping issues for about 2 months now, even as the weather starts to get colder.

  Richard Klausner, have you been able to resolve the issue of "loud clunking and jerking in the transmission at 28 miles per hour" that then goes away? I have experienced numerous occurrences of this problem over the past year. Initially, I sought assistance from a local transmission specialist after the first incident, but they found nothing on their diagnosis monitor and refused to work on a Honda transmission. Following the fourth episode, warning signs appeared and the Honda dealer identified the torque converter as the issue and claimed to have fixed it. However, upon exiting the shop, the truck had a vibrating drive shaft which was repaired. Nevertheless, the original problem persisted and two more occurrences prompted another visit to the shop. Despite this, the Honda service shop stated they couldn't do anything about it, attributing the problem to fuel, driving conditions, or mixed signals from the truck's sensors to the transmission - which I find to be complete nonsense. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

  I've experienced some loud clunking and jerking in the transmission at 28 miles per hour on two occasions. It lasted for the entire hour-long ride home both times, but everything seemed fine the next morning. I'm just worried that the rough noise I'm hearing isn't causing any harm to the transmission!
