Consumer Description

FOUND OUT RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ON HONDA RIDGELINE HAS BEEN HAVING CATASTROPHIC FAILURES DUE TO TRANSMISSION LINE FAILURE. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN WRECKS DUE TO THE VIOLENT NATURE OF THIS FAILURE. THIS WOULD CAUSE IMMEDIATE PANIC TO MY PREGNANT WIFE AND SOON TO BE NEWBORN BABY GIRL. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY CONNECTION ON RADIATOR THAT CAUSES THIS ISSUE AND STILL HASN'T ISSUED RECALL. I BELIEVE THEY ARE ACTING NEGLIGENTLY TOWARDS FIXING THIS ISSUE. COME TO FIND OUT NISSAN HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR PATHFINDER AND HAS SINCE PERFORMED A VOLUNTARY RADIATOR ASSEMBLY PROGRAM (HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/RADIATOR/FAQS.PHP?MENU=22). HONDA ALSO DIRECTED US TO CONTACT NHTSA AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE FINE STAFF AT NHTSA WILL TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA AND COME TO A DECISION TO HELP CONSUMERS TAKE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THIS AND I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DO NOT HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. *TR
