Description of the problem | On february 4th, 2019, i parallel parked my vehicle at 9am on the street. At about 4pm that day, the fire department notified me that my 2017 honda ridgeline was on fire. My ridgeline was stationary, parked on the street, and it was a rainy day. The fire fighter told me the fire started under the hood in the engine area. The ridgeline was towed to a honda dealership in hopes of finding the cause of the spontaneous fire. The honda dealership did not even open the vehicle and would not diagnose the cause of the spontaneous fire. This is very dangerous because the spontaneous fire can harm and potentially kill people inside or around the vehicle as well as harm nearby buildings. This is also not the first 2017 honda ridgeline to have this same issue. |
