NHTSA Complaint #11064693 — 2006 HONDA RIDGELINE

ON 1/9/18, WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD IN FAIRMONT, WV THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE STARTED SMOKING. MY HUSBAND AND HIS FRIEND, STOPPED THE CAR AND EXITED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED 911. WITHIN MINUTES THE SMOKE TURNED INTO A FLAME. THE FIRST RESPONDER WAS A POLICE OFFICER WHO DID NOT HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. IT TOOK ~10-15 MINUTES FROM THE CALL FOR THE FIRE TRUCK TO ARRIVE AND THE CAB OF THE CAR WAS CONSUMED BY THE FIRE. IT WAS PUT OUT BUT THE ENTIRE CAB WAS DESTROYED AND HOOD AND TOP OF CAR WERE BURNED. WE HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA CORPORATE. THEY DOCUMENTED OUR COMPLAINT BUT NOTHING ELSE HAS BEEN DONE. PLEASE SEE VIDEO BELOW AFTER THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT: HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/0BWNKDO9RN4DRV3PQBKFUEUSYAVC4REJPQWZVZNO3U0I1DGXV/VIEW?USP=SHARING CONCERNING RECALL: HTTP://WWW.LEFTLANENEWS.COM/RECALL-FOR-HONDA-RIDGELINE-ELECTRICAL-FIRE-ISSUE.HTML *TR
