What owners wrote
Fire in engine bay of new honda ridgeline, debris caught between exhaust and catalytic converter. Major damage. Bought 2nd. Ridgeline. 2 minor episodes of burning smell while using on dirt roads. This is not a coincidence!
On or about january 9th, 2010, I started my 2006 ridgeline to and turned the heat on high to warm it up before leaving my home. When I returned to the vehicle to leave, the entire cab was filled with smoke. My husband located the source of the smoke, coming from under the dash on the passenger side. He found wires sticking out and determined that they were burnt and that we needed to bring the vehicle to the dealership for repair. The vehicle was taken to our local honda dealership and partially repaired.
