2006 Honda Ridgeline Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“My passenger rear door glass on my 2006 Honda Ridgeline exploded. I was parked at work where my truck was visible at all times. There was no evidence of rocks or gun shots. When I closed the drivers side door, the window shattered. The outside temperature had reached 95f, but there were several days where the temperature was hotter.”

“I was driving on the freeway when my driver side window shattered. Glass exploded and fell into door. It was loud and nearly caused an accident on the freeway.”

They replaced the transistor and that did not fix the problem. They then took apart the dash and said the interior air filter was clogged ( I park under a tree in my driveway ) and due to that the blower motor burned up and melted the wiring. …”

“My wife and I work together at an engineering firm. She drives our 2006 Ridgeline. Our office is a small with its own parking lot. While sitting in the parking lot, the center rear glass panel exploded sending pieces of glass into the cab and into the bed of the truck. Nobody touched the truck and nothing hit it. My wife parks directly in front of her office window and has plain view of the truck. She was outside an hour earlier and it was fine. When she went outside again, the whole panel was shattered and the top right corner had fallen off. First thought was that something had hit it. …”
