Noise on the 2020 ridgeline when making turns

[runner84]

anyone else experienced this? this happens when I make a sharp turn and at low speed. Taking this to the dealer to get checked and hope that they find something. I'm getting worried..

Yeah, I've noticed something similar on mine, especially when turning at low speeds in parking lots. It's not super loud, but definitely enough to make me wonder what's up. Let us know what the dealer says because I've been meaning to get mine checked too.

Could be something like CV joints, differential fluid needing a change (if AWD), or even suspension components. Just check with the dealer

Sounds like @runner84 's sharp-turn noise could be one of those classic Honda quirks that need dealer wisdom to decode but @mr.orlando 's parking lot sound complaint seems like it's a tag-along issue not limited to just sharp turns but possibly low-speed maneuvers in general while @Macdonalds04 makes a solid point about CV joints or AWD fluid maybe needing attention but the suspension theory could also be the culprit here since dealerships always go for the obvious fixes first instead of exploring the deeper mechanical gremlins lurking under the hood so really it's either a fluid replacement or a hands-on inspection of the underbody.

Can you describe the sound? And does this happen when you make a turn while hitting the brake or no?

what specific noise is this? i kinda want to know because i hear something faint on my end too... i figured it's a common thing among ridgelines. i won't stress too much about it looks like on this thread alone there are already people with the same anecdote.

This happened to my brother.. He was getting this weird clunking noise when he'd pull into his driveway, which is a bit of a tight turn uphill. Turned out, it was a loose sway bar link. Dealer fixed it right up.. said it's common when they get a little wear. Hopefully yours is just as easy! Any news?

You're not the only one dealing with that noise in 2020 Ridgelines when making sharp turns. It's often the struts, suspension bushings, or something loose up front. I hope the dealer can get it fixd for you quickly. Keep us posted on what they find
