About a month after I had purchased my new 08 Ridgeline we had a heavy snowfall. As the snow built up in my lower windshield area the wipers ceased to work, apparently because the wipers could not reach the bottom of their cycle. The snow buildup in the lower windshield area prevented the wipers from going all the way to the bottom to complete the cycle. I had to stop and clean out the snow. It was snowing pretty heavy and I had to pull over several times to clean out the snow. Fortunately, I wasn't in a high traffic area and could safely stop and clean out the accumulated snow/ice. However, I lost most all visibility out of the windshield as the wipers ceased to function. My dealer refuses to acknowledge the problem, basically telling me it's my imagination. My contention is that it is potentially a dangerous problem. If one were in a heavy snowfall and the wipers stopped working, and conditions were such that it was difficult to stop, pull over to clear the windshield area (like on a mountainous 2 lane road), then an accident is almost surely to occur. Has any Ridgeline owner encountered this problem? Basically, I think the Ridgeline is a great car and I haven't had any problems with the vehicle. Since I live in Texas, we don't get a lot of snow, especially heavy snow. But I can't help but wonder what folks would do in cold climates if the wiper problem happened there. The car is still under basic and extended warranty. Thanks Also, I did send a note to Honda about the problem, but never got a response.
