2008 HONDA ENGINE SURGE WHEN RUNNING NORMAL SPEED. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP.

THE HEATER / AC STOPPED WORKING ON MY 08 RTS HONDA RIDGELINE. THERE WERE NO EVENTS THAT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT HEATER WIRE HARNESS OVERHEATED AND BURNED UP FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON. THEY ARE HAVING TO ORDER THE REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT I AM CONCERNED WHETHER THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

IN A SNOW STORM AS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORKING SNOW STARTED TO BUILD UP IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE HOOD AND THE WINDSHIELD AS THE WIPERS PUSHED IT DOWN. THE SPACE FILLED WITH PACKED SNOW FROM THE WIPERS PACKING IT DOWN. AT THE POINT WHEN THE SPACE WAS FULL THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN UNTIL THE SNOW WAS CLEANED OUT BY HAND. ONCE CLEARED THE SNOW STARTED TO BUILD UP AGAIN FOLLOWED BY THE WIPERS STOPPING AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS WAS THE FIRST SNOW STORM IN THIS TRUCK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA RIDGELINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOWER TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN PROPERLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CABLES CONNECTING TO THE TAILGATE BECAME LOOSE, WHICH CAUSED THE COMPONENT TO FAIL. THE DEALER TIGHTENED THE CABLES, BUT THE FAILURE IMMEDIATELY RECURRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 7,000.
