Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 HONDA RIDGELINE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK. ON DECEMBER 15, 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON UTOPIA PARKWAY IN QUEENS, NEW YORK WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I HAD THE HEAT ON AND TURNED IT OFF. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AREA, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE SAME AREA. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FIND THAT THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF 2006/2007 HONDA RIDGELINE OWNERS. IT IS OBVIOUS THERE IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT AND NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE. I AM WAITING FOR HONDA TO GET BACK TO ME. *TR
