2008 HONDA RIDGELINE Complaints

A/C BLOWER MOTOR QUIT RUNNING(INTERMITTENTLY) DEC. 2016 & JULY 2017, STOPPED COMPLETELY JULY 2017. NO HEAT IN WINTER AND NO COOLING IN SUMMER. ALSO BATTERY WAS DRAINED OF IT'S CHARGE , HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED WITH POTENTIAL NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. DEALER IS WORKING ON FIXING. FOUND A TRANSISTOR FAILED THEN LATER FOUND A BURNT ELEC. CONNECTOR IN WIRING HARNESS. DEALER CONTACTED HONDA CORP., NO 2008 RECALLS BUT MFG. WILL ACCEPT 50% REDUCTION OF REPAIR PART REPLACEMENT OF HARNESS, TRUCK IS AT DEALER SERVICE FOR MON. TUES. & WED.,7/31/17 THRU. 8/2/17, RECEIVED LOANER CAR TILL IT IS FIXED. COSTS ARE NOW UP TO OVER $650 AND CLIMBING. (NOT INCLUDING MY MAJOR STRESS AND INCONVENIENCE FOR A 79 YEAR OLD.) CHECKED ON VARIOUS WEB SITES AND FOUND MANY MAJOR SAFETY AND EXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS HONDA ISSUE AS WELL AS FIRE DESTRUCTION IN SOME CASES, BUT NO RECALLS. DEALER STATES THIS IS A "NEW SERVICE ISSUE" TO THEM AND AFTER MY CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THEM TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THEY ARE MORE COOPERATIVE TO FIX IT! TIME WILL TELL WHERE THIS WILL GO FROM HERE.

I HAVE NO BLOWER FAN TO WORK AC OR HEAT DEFROST WIRING MAYBE UNDER RATED GUAGE SIZE

TAKATA RECALL, DEALER STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME TO REPLACE AFTER THEY WERE CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE REPAIR(THEY WERE GOING TO CALL WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN).

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LAST SPRING TOOK ABOUT 5 OR 6 MONTHS BEFORE MY DEALERSHIP IN DUBUQUE IOWA EVEN GOT THEM IN. I CALLED A COUPLE TIMES SINCE THIS WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ME AND MY FAMILY AROUND ON TRIPS AND SO FOURTH. STILL GOT A RESPONSE THAT HONDA CREATED THE RECALL WITH NUMEROUS COMPANIES, AND CAN'T PRODUCE ALL THESE AIRBAGS. MAYBE THEY SHOULD OF THOUGHT OF THAT B4 THE RECALL.... SO I THINK HONDA OR SOMEONE SHOULD OF PAID ME COMPENSATION FOR DRIVING A VEHICLE AROUND THAT WASN'T SAFE AT ALL IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN SOME WAY? I DON'T KNOW EXACT DATE THE FIRST AIRBAG RECALL CAME OUT

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED DUE TO A FAULTY INFLATOR. THE LETTER STATES THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS "WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." WE ARE NOW INTO THE THIRD WEEK OF JANUARY 2017, AND WHEN I SPOKE WITH HONDA LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS FOR 6 MONTHS AND HONDA COULD GIVE ME NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN I CAN EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE A JULY, 2016 NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. PLANET HONDA IN LAKEWOOD COLORADO ORDERED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS ON 7/6/16 SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED FROM HONDA THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I FINALLY RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE DEALER THAT PARTS WERE IN AND THE DEALER INSTALLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE BAG ON 9/17/16, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG HAD NOT ARRIVED, BUT STILL ON ORDER. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TWO TIMES, AND BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THIS DELAY IS CAUSING GREAT INCONVENIENCE IN MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF LACK OF PASSENGER CAPACITY. I GET THE FEELING THAT HONDA IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY FASHION
