My wife and I had decided to empty our storage unit, so on Memorial Day we began moving everything into the garage. After five or six trips Honda, I pulled the car up beside the RV and close to the house for what turned out to be the last load. I unloaded my bicycle and nearly everything else, leaving only a few small items, and then removed the massage table from the back seat. The engine was off this entire time. That was when I noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. At first, I thought the radiator had overheated, so I tried to open the hood, but it was too hot. I went into the garage for gloves and a fire extinguisher and tried again, but still could not get it open. Realizing the situation was getting worse and that I could not stop it there, I jumped into the car and tried to start it. To my surprise, it started immediately, and I drove it as fast as I could out to the street in front of the house. Only later did I realize that this likely saved my RV—and possibly the front of my house as well—from catching fire. We were so blessed that I was able to move the car to a safer location and no one was hurt. It was a miracle.

I am writing to advise you of Recall Notices I have received but have been unable to get addressed on my 2019 Honda Ridgeline. Over the last year I have received 3 Recall Notices and have not been unable to get them taken care of. Shown below are the actions I have taken relative to the Recall Notices. Perhaps you can assist me in this endeavor. February, 2024- Received Recall Notice (Copy Attached) March 5, 2024: Contacted Dealership (Don Moore Honda, Owensboro, Ky.) Was advised to call back the first week of April to see if the parts had come in to do the necessary mechanical work. May 13, 2024: Contacted Dealership- parts had not arrived yet. Advised to call back in the fall of the year. Parts may have arrived by that time. Late May, 2024- Received 2nd Recall Notice from Honda Automotive December, 2024- Received 3rd Recall Notice from Honda Automotive January 14, 2025- Contacted Dealership- was told parts still not on hand. Woman I spoke with said she would order the parts and advise when parts arrived. Today is March 12, over a year since I received my first Recall Notice. I have received two similar Recall Notices since then. And still no activity to address the possible problem. If the Recall is not necessary, then would someone please let me know, so I can disregard the Recall Notices. If the Recall Notice is important, then please advise what I can do to get the issue resolved.
