Ridgeline 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

We got our Ridgeline on March 12 a few days that they had been out, only the second that the duval Honda had sold. And we have done nothing but love that truck. On Friday 11/25/05 on my way to work, I ahd been driving about 5-8 mintues and then I smelt something a little strange.........coming out of the ac vent. I turned the heater off......the smell of smoke started to get heavier and heavier. I looked into the vent and noticed that there was smoke and fire billowing inside.....not sure where it was coming from...I got out of the truck, called fire/rescue, and began to get most of the belongings that I could. The truck was fully involved by time fire/rescue arrived on scene. I must say that, back in septmber I noticed that the radio which is still stock was wired incorrectly, I mentioned it the last time that I took the baby in for servicing. They said that they would have to take the dash out and have it re-wired the correct way. And that it would be an all day affair, I havent had the time to have that done, and my dealer doesnt offer loaner cars. Am I saying that this is the reason that this happened" I am not sure. As anyone had anything simular?"
