There are 4 owner-reported electrical system complaints for the 2014 Honda Ridgelinein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Backup camera became intermittent then failed completely. Display (left side of rear view mirror) shows only a blue screen with no image. It makes backing up difficult.
ELECTRICAL DOOR LOCK MECHANISM DOES NOT WORK USING THE KEY FOB LOCK.
RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH WIRING ON A WHEEL SENSOR FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT HONDA HAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE FOR USING SOY BASED INSULATION ON WIRES IN 2012-2015 YEAR MODELS.
AFTER ARRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER WITH THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE, MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR EVEN THOUGH I PRESSED UNLOCK SWITCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY AND ALSO TRIED TO PULL UP THE LOCK MANUALLY BUT I COULDN'T GET IT TO UNLOCK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY WORKED AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING IT STARTED WORKING OKAY BUT THEN TODAY THE DOOR LOCK FAILED AGAIN AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR BOTH FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. WHEN UNLOCK SWITCH IS PRESSED, THE DOORLOCK CLICKS AND COMES UP PARTIALLY BUT THEN IT GOES DOWN TO LOCK POSITION. THE PASSENGER HAD TO COME OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I FIGURE THIS MALFUNCTION COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND PASSENGER IS IN IMMEDIATE NEED OF EVACUATION. *TR
