There are 3 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2010 Honda Ridgelinein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
BRAKES ARE SOFT AND PEDAL SOMETIMES GOES CLOSE TO THE FLOOR WITH ENGINE ON REGARDLESS OF BEING IN MOTION OR STOPPED. TOOK TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR AT HONDA DEALER THEY THOUGHT IT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT BLEEDING THEM. BRAKES ARE STILL SOFT BUT HONDA NOW CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE FINE.
BRAKES POORLY STOPPING TWICE THE DISTANCE AS NORMAL. SOFT PEDAL WAS TOLD BY DEARLSHIP THIS IS NORMAL FOR TRUCK. BRAKES WILL NOT LOCK UP WITH OR WITHOUT ABS FUSE IN PLACE
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (ABOUT THREE WEEKS APART AND NO MORE THAN 500 MILES) THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES THE CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND DEBRIS FREE. THE FIRST OCCASION OCCURRED GOING UP A HILL TO A STOP SIGN AND WAS NOT AS NOTICEABLE. ON THE SECOND OCCASION THE BRAKE FAILURE HAPPENED COMING OFF A HIGHWAY RAMP, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WITH THE BRAKES FULLY APPLIED AS WE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS, AND BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM WHEN FOLLOWING PROTOCOL THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND AND FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
