NHTSA Complaint #10395152 — 2006 HONDA RIDGELINE

I OWN A 2006 HONDA RIDGELINE THAT I PURCHASED WHEN IT WAS NEW. RIGHT AFTER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ALL OF MY HEAT/A/C CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PUSH IN THE KNOB & TWIST OR BANG IT TO MAKE THE MOTOR COME ON AND THEN IT IS ONLY AT ONE SPEED- EITHER THAT SPEED OR OFF AND IT TURNS ON & OFF FOR THE LENGTH OF THE TRIP WHEN EVER IT WANTS. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CONTROL CONSOLE WHICH WILL COST WELL OVER $1,000! THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL CONSIDERING THAT THERE MUST BE A WIRE ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE HEAT/A/C AND BROUGHT MINE IN FOR THAT RECALL BUT WAS TOLD THAT MINE WAS NOT PART OF THE GROUP- IS THIS THE SAME PROBLEM? I ALSO SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ODOMETERS AND BROUGHT MINE IN FOR THAT RECALL ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL BUT MY ODOMETER IS ALWAYS COUNTING AT LEAST 25 MILES MORE PER TANK FULL OF GAS THEN WHAT I ACTUALLY HAVE DRIVEN. THEREFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED SO FAST BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I POINTED OUT THAT I HAVE A GPS UNIT, ALWAYS HAVE HAD ONE AND EVERYTIME THAT I GAS UP I CHECK THE POOR GAS MILEAGE THAT I GET AND THEY NEVER ARE EVEN CLOSE, AS I STATED AROUND 25 MILES OFF EACH TANK FULL!! NONE OF MY DOORS WILL UNLOCK WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO PARK AND I COMPLAINED ABOUIT THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PART OF TEH TRUCK, THE KIDS CAN NOT OPEN A DOOR, MY KIDS ARE OVER 18 YRS OLD, PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE SO THAT MY PASSANGERS CAN GET OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY! *TR
