  I DRIVE MY 2008 RIDGELINE ON A DAILY BASIS. IN THE MORNING OF THE 18TH OF DECEMBER MY HEAT AND AIR WORKED FINE. LATER IN THE EVENING I WENT TO GO OUT AND MY FAN/HEAT/AIR WOULD NOT WORK. I CHANGED A FEW FUSES BUT STILL GOT NOTHING. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER WHERE I GET ALL OF MY REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE DONE. THEY STATED IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A RELAY SINCE THE MOTOR WAS WORKING PROPERLY. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS A WIRING HARNESS THAT MELTED AND THEN SHE TELLS ME ITS A 9 HOUR JOB TO REPLACE AND COSTS OVER 600.00 DOLLARS. WELL IT LOOKS LIKE THE 2006,AND 2007 RIDGELINES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO BE PERSUADED TO INCLUDE THE 2008 MODELS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM AND HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER 2008'S AROUND THE U.S. THANKS. *TR

  MY 2008 HONDA RIDGELINE TRUCK IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, GARAGE KEPT, WELL MAINTAINED, WITH ONLY 72K MI. WE WERE DRIVING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT ON I-83N FROM DE TO PA, DURING THE RAINY NIGHT OF NOV. 18,2015. WE HEARD A FLAP-RIP SOUND, AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE (AFTER MARKET) BED COVER FLAPPING AT THE CAB CORNER, BECAUSE A COVER CLIP HAD WEAKENED THERE DURING THIS HIGHWAY DRIVE FROM GA TO PA, ALLOWING THE COVER TO FLAP IN WIND, AND NEEDED REFASTENING WHENEVER WE STOPPED FOR GAS. IT WAS THE NEXT MORNING IN THE LIGHT WHEN WE REALIZED THE ENTIRE CAB TOP-REAR PANEL (BREAK LIGHT, WIRING & ALL) HAD DISLODGED COMPLETELY OFF THE TRUCK, AND DECIDED THIS WAS PROBABLY THE RIPPING SOUND WE HEARD ON I-83 THE NIGHT BEFORE, THOUGH WE DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME, AND PRAY NO DANGER RESULTED BEHIND US. WE TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO TO COMPENSATE, WHICH WAS ONLY TO OFFER $50 DISCOUNT ON $400 OF PARTS, ALSO SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH CARCOMPLIANTS.COM HAD A POSTING. WE INSTEAD HAVE A LOCAL MECHANIC WAITING ON THE PART TO REPLACE THE PANEL AT LESS COST, BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS NEEDED, AND WE HAVE TEMPORARY DUCT TAPE OVER THE WIRING HOLE FOR PROTECTION. OUR POSITION IS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! NO MARKET BODY PART SHOULD JUST FLY OFF THE TRUCK, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAN RESULT IN ACCIDENTS, INJURY, AND POSSIBLY EVEN DEATH!

  JUST DRIVING ALONG @ 20MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO HESITATE THEN START SLIPPING. LUCKY ENOUGH TO LIMP HOME 1 MILE AWAY FROM WHERE IT STARTED. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS POURING OUT OF THE RADIATOR OVERFLOW CONTAINER. I HAD NO TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWING ON DIPSTICK. ENGINE OIL WAS NORMAL. I REPLACED THE RADIATOR AS I SAW COUNTLESS PEOPLE ONLINE WITH SAME ISSUE. THE TRANS LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR RUPTURED PUTTING INTO CIRCULATION THE COOLANT/TRANS FLUID MIXTURE THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE AND HEATER CORE. FORTUNATELY THIS TRANS FLUID MIXTURE WAS NOT BEING SUCKED BACK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, PURELY A MIRACLE IN THIS CASE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS A FAULT IN ENGINEERING, AND NOT "IF" THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR VEHICLE IS A MATTER OF WHEN. THIS CAR HAS 140K ON IT AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED, NO REASON FOR THIS FAILURE HAVE HAD CARS WITH 300K NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
