In owners’ own words

Exterior lighting mileage not reported 7 mo in service
My vehicle has automatic high beam headlights. They do not function properly - they will cycle on and off when there is no traffic ahead or oncoming, but most seriously they often fail to dim when there is oncoming traffic. This issue appears to be endemic with the 2022 Honda Ridgeline, many users report the same.
Exterior lighting mileage not reported 10 mo in service
Honda eliminated the dedicated automatic high beam camera and moved the functionality into the shared "multi-purpose" camera that is also used for Honda Sensing features and raised the activation speed. These changes not only ruined the automatic high beam function, but made it dangerous at times. The automatic high beams rarely work in my neighborhood which has zero street lamps and I was told by the dealer that it is supposed to operate that way.
Exterior lighting mileage not reported 1.0 yr in service
Auto high beams consistently fail to turn on or off at appropriate times, rendering them unreliable and unsafe. I was forced to disable them because of several incidents in which they failed to stay on while driving on dark rural roads or failed to turn off with oncoming traffic.
Electrical system mileage not reported 4 mo in service
The wireless charging pad does not work, no matter what position the phone is. I have tried with the case off, so that's not the issue. And I've also tried multiple phones. It pretends to power on and start charging but then it stops in less than a minute, even WITHOUT driving the car....so the phone has no chance to move.
