2008 Honda Ridgeline Visibility & Wipers Problems

Driverside rear passenger window regulator failed. As I was putting the window down. It started crunching then stopped. I had to push the window up while using the power button, window will slowly drop on it own. I haven't had it replaced yet.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ~ 60 MPH WITH THE CENTER BACK WINDOW OPEN ABOUT HALF WAY. THE CENTER BACK WINDOW SHATTERED AND BLEW SMALL SHARP PIECES OF GLASS ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK. SMALL PIECES OF GLASS PIERCED MY WRIST AS I ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN THE MESS ONCE I WAS AT HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA RIDGELINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. *TR

SLIDING REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. *TR

WENT TO GET INTO TRUCK, IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVER NIGHT. OPENDED THE BACK DOOR AND FOUND GLASS SITTING ON THE BACK SEAT MOSTLY, VERY SMALL PARTS IN THE BED. THE REAR SLIDING BACK GLASS EXPLODED INTO THE CABIN AND WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN IT HAPPENED. DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT HAPPEN FOUND IT THE NEXT MORNING AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SITTING OVERNIGHT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE AND WOULD HAVE TO CALL HONDA TECH SUPPORT BEFORE A DECISION CAN BE MADE. *TR

WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH MY REAR SLIDE WINDOW PARTIALLY OPEN ON MY 2008 HONDA RIDGELINE THE WINDOW SUDDENLY IMPLODED INTO THE REAR AREA OF THE TRUCK. GLASS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE BACK SEAT DOWN BETWEEN THE GAPS IN THE BACK WALL AND A AMALL AMOUNT INTO THE BED. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY SOMETHING OUTSIDE THE TRUCK I CALLED THE LOCAL POLICE WHO CHECKED THE TRUCK LOOKING FOR ROCKS, BULLETS, BBS, ETC. THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL CAUSE. *TR

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
