“Honda ridgelibe rear center sliding window exploded for no reason and without any cause during a drive with my 6 year old in the back seat. After reading on the internet causes I have discovered this is not an isolated occurrence. My daughter could have been seriously injured. We were driving in a subdivision with no other cars on the street.”

“I have a 2007 Honda Ridgeline and the rear sliding window shattered into the passenger compartment for no apparent reason while driving. I reported it to the police as I thought that it was possible that someone might have shot it out with a bullet. I have since learned that this has happened several time switch other Honda ridgelines.”

“2007 Honda Ridgeline heater motor stopped blowing. Troubleshoot the problem and found a melted wiring harness. Did some research and found the recall to take place in march. Called hidy Honda to request a fix and was told my vehicle is not covered. Called hondausa and was told the same thing. At this point I need the motor for defrost purposes. I am purchasing the motor on my own and will repair myself if I can get parts at all.”

“Power rear window center slider piece shattered. I was driving on highway with all the windows and rear slider open. The center sliding portion of the window was in the open position when it shattered sending glass fragments though out the vehicle. The glass covered the backseat, backseat floor, and some on the dashboard and front floor. The replacement glass is on order from the dealership.”

“Vehicle was in full sight during a 3-hour visit with a friend. Upon leaving, noticed glass all inside the cab and bed. Center, sliding portion of rear window appeared to have exploded. No evidence of vandalism whatsoever. Dealer stated they would have a field engineer evaluate the situation, but after two weeks there was no result, so I opted for my insurance company to replace the glass.”
