will not start. shows multiple errors of main dash display The problem has occurred before and it went into dealer who checked computer error messages. First they thought it was the switch attached to the brake which needs to be pushed to start so that was replaced. Worked fine for a while then started again. Next time in to dealer and they replaced the wiring harness that was part of recall. Seem to work fine for a while then started happening again. It appeared to be related to vehicle sitting out in the rain overnight so I made sure to park in garage when raining. Seemed to work but again problem has resurfaced without rain. Basically you enter vehicle as usual and press start button and the main display starts going through a number of error messages and the truck won't start. I turn everything off and try again. Same effect. And again. Same thing. Being persistent and having to get somewhere I continue to try and after usually a dozen attempts it starts. While fine then. Error messages still appear but everything seems to be function correctly. As day goes on, error messages seem to autocorrect and disappear and within an hour or two its like it never happened. It might be good for a couple of days or a month then bang, back to same issue. This last time I have tried over 20 start processes and still no luck. Its going to dealer one way or the other and will be fixed or time for lawyers to be brought in.

Update from Nov 17, 2017: The Honda dealership has fixed the problem with the help of the Honda Canada engineers. After almost four weeks without my truck, they finally replaced the onboard computer and since June the Ridgeline has worked as it should. Unfortunate they couldn't have figured that out in the beginning instead of replacing two wiring harnesses first (which took most of the time to install). Local dealer was very accommodating and restored my confidence in Honda.
