Consumer Description

OWN A 2008 HONDA RIDGELINE, AROUND 90000 MILES ON IT BUT DON'T HAVE EXACT # BECAUSE IT IS AT THE DEALER. BOUGHT NEW IN 2008. THE HEATER FAN STOPPED WORKING SO IT IS AT THE DEALERS SERVICE SHOP. WAS TOLD THE WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR WAS MELTED BECAUSE OF HIGH RESISTANCE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FIRE DANGER WITH THE RIDGELINE. FROM WHAT I CAN FIND ON MY OWN THIS IS NOT JUST ONE ISOLATED CASE IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY RIDGELINES. WOULD BE NICE IF HONDA WOULD STEP UP AND MAKE IT RIGHT AND SAFE! ALSO OTHER HONDA RIDGELINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED OR COVERED FOR THIS PROBLEM WHY NOT THE 2008. *TR
