In 2017, the Honda Ridgeline had some transmission problems like not shifting or making a grinding noise. It's important to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles to prevent issues. If you hear strange noises from the transmission, it's a sign that the fluid needs changing. A worn-out torque converter can also be a headache. The transmission is a crucial part of the vehicle, and it's common to encounter problems eventually. Watch out for hard shifts, shuddering, jerking, gears getting stuck, slipping, or delayed shifting which can lead to acceleration issues. If there's a transmission fluid leak, it should be fixed promptly.
I own a 2017 Ridgeline and am facing the same issue, but the dealer is refusing to acknowledge the problem. This will be the final Honda vehicle I purchase.
If there are transmission problems with the 2017 Honda Ridgeline, you may experience issues such as shaking or grinding while driving, a burning odor when the vehicle is running, gears slipping during shifting, the gear shifter getting stuck or unresponsive, and fluid leaks. These issues could potentially cause a complete transmission failure that could render the vehicle inoperable.
