Ridgeline 06
 

Gas cap! Make sure you twist it on tight. The service light comes on if
you do not.

35,000 miles on this truck and it goes off road in muddy fields, grass land
and woods almost weekly being used as a work vehicle by a land surveying
company and the only time it has been in the shop was because of the gas cap
not being put on properly.

The gas cap is the first weekness so far. The company I work for used to
drive a Chevy 2500 which used to literally sink in the mud as it sat for too
long. That truck was always in the shop for brakes or other engine
problems.

Anyone else find any faults with the ridgeline?

Just out of curiosity, what year was the last car you owned? Was it older
than 1996?

The gas cap thing applies to ALL vehicles of model years 1996 and newer by
ALL manufacturers, as well as some pre-'96 ones. This is how OBD-II works.

Re: Ridgeline 06
 

Agreed. This is nothing unique to the Ridgeline. You have to fill it up and
turn the cap until it clicks 3+ times. I heard that on a new Chevy I bought
YEARS ago.

Good luck.
