2006 HONDA CR-V Electrical System Problems

The Vechile Stability Assist (VSA) light came on and took it too my Honda mechanic and confirmed that the Anti-lock Brake System(ABS) module needs to be replaced and this disabled the VSA. Parts+labor over $2,600+ to fix. Called the Manufacturer (Honda) and told me that I would have too first get it fixed and then submit the bill to them and they may reimburse me some of the cost or nothing. Since the ABS component controls brake and stability this a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall. I looked on the web and in the United Kingdom and Canada that Honda has paid in full. In the US, Honda doesn't consider it a defect and thus won't reimburse the owner's for fixing the vehicle. Once again because this an safety issue I believe that Honda should recall these vehicles and cost should be covered by Honda

About 4 months ago I discovered that the electric operator on the front passenger window no longer worked. I recently had a mechanic try to repair it and he found that the motor worked well. He replaced the switches in both the passenger door and the driver's door but window only goes down and not up. The mechanic checked online and discovered that this vehicle model was recalled in December, 2020, for this problem. When I checked on getting my vehicle repaired through the recall, I discovered that my specific vehicle was not included in the recall. Because I am now aware of the risk of fire, I request that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can have it repaired. Thanks for your consideration of this request.

Driver side power window will not open. Dangerous because if I am pulled over I can not roll down my window to speak with police. I’ve also seen reports of electrical fires associated with this issue. The issue has not been inspected by 3rd parties.

Every few months one of my low beam headlamps goes out, and I replace it to stay in compliance with local traffic laws. Within the last week, both low beam headlights went out, and both sockets show burn damage that is similar to the issue reported in NHTSA recall: 04V086000. I am concerned that even if I replace both the lights and the sockets, there may be something else going on that could cause a fire. I'd like NHTSA to look into this please. Thank you

RE: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V-768. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE WITH A LOCAL HONDA CAR DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS RECALL ON MARCH 2ND 2021. I SHOWED UP TO THE APPT. AND THE CAR DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL WORK. I THEN DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION TO THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY I WAS LET TO COME BY IF THEY WERE NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF ME, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHY I WAS COMING. I LIVE 1 HOUR AND 15 MIN AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALER SHOP. THE HONDA MANAGER, AFTER NOTICING I WAS NOT BUYING THEIR LAME EXCUSES, HE VERY RUDELY AND ABRUPTLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THIS PATHETIC EPISODE HAPPENED IN THE HONDA OF ARECIBO CAR DEALER, IN PUERTO RICO ON MARCH 2ND 2021. THE SAME DAY 3/2/2021 IN THE PM, I CALLED HONDA HOTLINE FOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO REPORT THIS ISSUE WITH THE CAR DEALER, THE DISRESPECTFUL MANNER THE DEALER MANAGER TREATED ME, AND ALSO TO SEEK HELP IN MAKING A NEW APPOINTMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL AT A DIFFERENT CAR DEALER IN PUERTO RICO. A VERY POLITE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ASSURED ME SOMEONE WILL BE CONTACTING ME IN THE FOLLOWING FEW DAYS TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND TO ENSURE THE CAR DEALER WOULD HAVE THE SPARE PARTS READY TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK. TODAY IS MAY 6TH 2021, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM EITHER HONDA OR ANY LOCAL CAR DEALER. CLEARLY HONDA HAS NOT TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY AND HAS ATTEMPT NOTHING TO WORK ON MY RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO OR WHO ELSE TO CALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP MAKING HONDA COMPLETE THIS RECALL WORK IN AN EFFICIENT AND RESPECTFUL MANNER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

MY HONDA CRV 2006 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE AND I DO NOT SEE MY VIN NUMBER ON THE RECALL LIST. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SAME PROBLEM SAME RECALL AND NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

DRIVER'S SIDE MASTER SWITCH FOR POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO WATER DAMAGE/LEAKAGE THROUGH THE WINDOW INTO THE DOOR PANEL DUE TO FOGGING AT THE WINDOW CORNER WHEN VEHICLE GETS WET. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THIS THAT WAS FIXED IN 2011 WITH A PREVIOUS OWNER BUT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING ISSUE AND IN LINE WITH CURRENT RECALL P9D. WHEN I SEARCH MY VEHICLE NO ACTIVE RECALLS POP UP BUT I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV WILL NOT OPEN DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR SHORT. THE WINDOW MECHANISIM IS FROZEN AND DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD, AND I AM CONCERNED. I NOTICED THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE AND FOR THE MODEL YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, MY HONDA CRV IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THIS MAKES NO SENSE SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE WITH MY CRV THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED. I SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL/REPAIR, AND I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION.

UPON STATIONARY IGNITION, DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STARTED SMOKING AND CAUGHT FIRE, MELTING THE WIRING HARNESS, AND INTERIOR WINDOW MASTER SWITCH (AND COVER) AND THE WINDOW MOTOR. I PUSHED THE CAR AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. WE REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND HEARD A LOUD BAND AND FLAMES STARTED POURING OUT OF THE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO MARTIN HONDA DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE CHARGED ME 1800. TO REPLACE THE MELTED COMPONENTS, ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE MIRROR SWITCH, WHICH FAILED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE. I FOUND A RECALL NUMBER 12V-486 DATED 10/4/2012. POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH, WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY OPENED A CASE AS I AM LOOKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT T AND ALSO TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL REPAIR PERFORMED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON THIS CAR. AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN???? NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT!

HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT. ON A MONTHLY BASIS WE ARE PAYING TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THEN WE GET STOPPED FOR ONE BEING OUT, TAKE IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THEY ARE WORKING. NOTHING SHORT OF FRUSTRATING. THESE OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN STOPPED. ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE 20 OR SO MONTHS AND APPEARS TO BE COMING MORE FREQUENTLY.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FUNCTION... HAVE REPLACED BULB EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT THIS TIME (SINCE FEB. 2019) THERE IS NO RECOVERY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB, SOCKET AND CONNECTOR, CHECKED FUSES...HI BEAM AND PARKING/SIGNAL BULBS ALL FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NO LOW BEAM ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IN THE 2005 MODELS. HONDA, IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS, OF WHICH 2006 IS ONE, HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO OFFER REMEDY . THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH INSTANCES OF THIS UNIQUE HAZARD TO JUSTIFY A RECALL, AND ONE IS LONG OVERDUE.

Mileage: 176,000

THE LIGHTING IN THE DASH ARE NOT CLEARLY ON. I HAVE NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS.

CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN PARK OR WHEN MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. CAR ALSO READS SEVERAL CODES RELATING TO VSA, VTEC, ETC HOWEVER WHEN I BRING IT TO GET CHECKED, NEW CODES POP UP RELATING TO SIMILAR ISSUES.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING OVER SIX (6) TIMES IN TWO PLUS (2+) YEARS (CAR PURCHASED USED, 11/2015). SPENT A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS ON REPLACEMENT BULBS; REPLACED THE HOUSING UNIT TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS; FINALLY IN APRIL 2018 WENT TO HALL HONDA (VIRGINIA BEACH, VA) TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THEY JUST SAID THE BULB WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. I DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY AND YESTERDAY (7/20/2018) I NOTICED THAT MY LIGHTS WEREN'T REFLECTING ON THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING. ONCE PARKED, I CHECKED AND LOW BEAMS NOT OPERATIONAL, BUT HIGH BEAMS WORK. THIS MORNING I CALLED HALL HONDA AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO IN TODAY (7/21/2018) AT 1:45 PM. I HAVE PRINTED OUT INFO FROM ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT IT ONLY WENT TO THE CAR YEAR 2005. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE HEADLIGHTS ARE NEEDED WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN (IT IS THE LAW HERE IN VA) OR WHEN IT IS DUSK/DARK. LISTING YESTERDAY AS THE DATE THIS HAPPENED, ALTHOUGH IT HAPPENED FIRST TO ME FEBRUARY 2016. I ALSO CHECKED OFF THE ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTING BOXES, SINCE I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO DETERMINE WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

10-YEAR-OLD HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 60K MILES EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF TWO KEY SENSORS IN JUNE 2016: 1) THE VSA/ABS CONTROL MODULE, AND 2) THE AIR/FUEL RATIO SENSOR. THE FAILURE OF #1 CAUSED THE ABS AND TCS LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO TURN ON; AND THE LOSS OF #2 CAUSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TO TURN ON. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE BOTH VIA NON-DEALER MECHANIC WAS $2,425, WHICH OWNER PAID. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL, SO FILING COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD.

I OWN A 2006 CRV WITH UNDER 33000 MILES, I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AS I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SO ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY VSA, ABS, ENGINE, TPS (TRIANGLE EXPLANATION POINT SYMBOL) AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND I'M TOLD THE VSA MODULE NEEDS REPLACING! COSTING $2400. WOW! THAT'S EXPENSIVE. I THINK THIS PART SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY!

HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER INSTALLATION. BUT THEY BLOW OFTEN ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY GO, I IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE STORE TO BUY REPLACEMENTS. JUST THIS EVENING, I HAD A THE RIGHT SIDE GO WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I FEAR THAT BOTH MAY GO AT THE SAME TIME WHEN MY WIFE OR I ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH OUR INFANT IN THE BACKSEAT. THE BULBS HAVE BLOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AS WELL AS WHEN PARKED. SINCE WE ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE IN 2009, I HAVE REPLACED OVER A DOZEN BULBS. I HAVE ONLY RECENTLY STARTED SAVING RECEIPTS TO BETTER TRACK THIS ISSUE.

COMPLAINT MIMICS THE COMPLAINTS HERE IN THE NHTSA, COMPLAINT #'S 10573302, 10576909 AND 10619157 FOR LOW BEAM LAMPS BURNING OUT PREMATURELY SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT AS A USED VEHICLE BACK IN 2008 FROM LARRY MILLER HONDA IN HILLSBORO OREGON MUCH LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CIVIC MODELS FOR STARTERS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY HONDA AMERICA IS NOT RESPONDING, WHAT IS THE NHSTA DOING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN?

I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE SRS SYSTEM WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE HAD TO BE REPLACED, I RECENTLY HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. NOW THE SRS LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND HONDA REFUSES TO REPAIR OR DIAGNOSE WITHOUT ME PAYING $80 TO DIAGNOSE. I'VE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHTS BURNING OUT AT LEAST 6 TIMES A YEAR TO WHICH HONDA COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAIL EVERY FEW MONTHS, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2006 CR-V HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO HONDA, THE NHTSA AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHY HASN'T HONDA ISSUED A RECALL? HONDA DID HAVE A RECALL FOR THE 2002-2004 CR-V FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT FOR THE LATER YEARS, SAYING THAT THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM WAS DIFFERENT IN NEWER MODELS. MAYBE, BUT CLEARLY THE DEFECT/HAZARD IS IN THE 2006 MODEL AS WELL. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO HONDA BEFORE AND DID SO AGAIN TODAY, AND IT IS AMERICAN HONDA CASE # N012014-12-2301127. I INSISTED THAT THEY TAKE A HARD LOOK AT COMPLAINTS ABOUT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE IN THE 2006 CR-V THAT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH HONDA AND THE NHTSA AND ISSUE A RECALL, AS THEY DID FOR THE OLDER MODELS. *TR

2006 HONDA CRV SINCE APRIL 2013 I HAVE GONE THROUGH 17 HEADLIGHT BULBS. THAT IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER HAD TO PUT IN ANY OF MY CARS. IF YOU TYPE IN TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS WITH 2006 HEADLIGHTS YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT YOU AS A COMPANY WOULD WANT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR AT LEAST LOOK AT GETTING A FIX. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY AREA DEALER HE DIDN'T SEEM TO THINK THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE INSTALL THEM THAT KNOW BETTER THAN TO TOUCH THE BULB AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THEY WON'T INSTALL THEM FOR ME ANYMORE. THEY ARE WORRIED THAT IT MAY CAME BACK TO THEM. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL AT LEAST GIVE ME A THOUGHT AS TO LOOK AT YOUR COMPUTER. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH HEADLIGHTS LIKE CRAZY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. APPROX. EVERY TWO MONTHS EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE GOES WITHOUT WARNING. MOST RECENTLY I DECIDED TO INSTALL HIGHER END BULBS THINKING THAT MAYBE THE LITTLE 8.00 DOLLAR ONES WERE THE PROBLEM. WRONG! I PUT A SET OF 50.00 BULBS IN EACH SIDE AT THE SAME TIME AND LESS THAN A MONTH LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT! I DRIVE ON VERY DARK RURAL ROADS AT NIGHT COMING HOME FROM WORK AND IF BOTH OF THESE LIGHTS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME I COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

A POLICE AND FIRE REPORT WERE FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO FAULTY WIRING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE PANEL.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 CRV IN 2010. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES. I DO NOT HAVE EXACT DATES, NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL JULY 2014 WHEN I HAD MY MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND FOUND THERE TO BE A SHORT IN THE WIRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT ALMOST ONE MILLION CRV'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED SINCE 2002 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE/RESOLUTION CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE EXACT SAME ONE ALL OF THE RECALLED CRV'S HAVE. HONDA WOULD NOT ASSIST ME FURTHER AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE ALREADY HAD BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE DARK ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ALTHOUGH IT IS COMMONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE BULB THAT BURNS OUT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER NOT KNOWING MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AND I AM TOLD THE COST OF THE REPAIR WILL BE OVER $300. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CRV'S WITH THE SAME DEFECT, I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE BEFORE I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF LOSING MY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE VSA AND EXCLAMATION LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY RIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND HAS NEVER TURNED OFF. MY MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND CONFIRMED THE ABS MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PART+LABOR = $2400+ (EXCLUDING TAX). CALLED U.S. HONDA MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL PAY 25% FOR THE PART. THAT STILL IS EXPENSIVE. I'M READING OFF ON THE WEB THAT COUNTRIES IN THE UK AND CANADA, THAT HONDA HAS PAID THE PART IN FULL. HERE IN THE U.S. THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT. THIS PART IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. A LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS WHERE IT SNOWS. IF THERE'S SAND, THE CAR WILL BE STUCK. ANOTHER MECHANIC SAID THERE COULD BE A SHORT. HONDA MANUFACTURER NEVER ADVISED ME OF THIS OR IF IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE OR SHOULD BE REPLACED RIGHT AWAY. COMING FROM FAMILY WHO BUYS MOSTLY HONDA'S, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. I WAS LOOKING AT A ODYSSEY, BUT SAW IT HAD A HUGE VSA ISSUE AS WELL. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BECAUSE A FEW TIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT TURNS ON ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED ON. HAVE NEVER USED CRUISE CONTROL. NEVER DRIVEN IN BAD WEATHER AND AVOID HEAVY RAIN. DRIVEN ONLY FEW TIMES PER WEEK AND CAREFULLY IN MOSTLY LOCAL SHORT DISTANCES. *JS

THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2006 HONDA CRV HAVE FAILED/BURNED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES. SEVERAL TIMES, BOTH LOWBEAMS (RIGHT AND LEFT) HAVE FAILED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2008, THE LIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR, EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUNAROUND. THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL OR EVEN INSPECT THE LIGHTS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO HAVE A "DIAGNOSTIC" CONDUCTED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR $120 OUT OF OUR POCKET. HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE RELATED TO THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THE 2003 AND 2004 CRV MODELS. THE SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING WITH THE 2006 MODEL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, YET HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND A POTENTIAL CLASS ACTION. HONDA SHOULD BE PROACTIVE AND OFFER A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THE HEADLIGHT FAILURES. PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED OUR HONDA CRV SINCE EARLY 2006. IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SPECIFICALLY ISSUES WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR SINCE PURCHASING THE CRV. IT IS CLEARLY A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THE HONDA CRV ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET BY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE AND NEEDS TO RECALL THE CRV AND FIX THE ISSUE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. *TR

I HAD A BRAKE LIGHT GO OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE 2006 CR-V. I REPLACED THE LIGHT BULB, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THE BREAK LIGHT WILL NOT WORK. I TALKED WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL OF VEHICLE AS MINE (CR-V). MY HONDA MASTER MECHANIC BELIEVES THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE THAT HE HAS SEEN AND THAT HAVE BEEN SEEN BY DEALERSHIPS. IS THERE A REASON WHY HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED THE 2006 HONDA CR-V FOR THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM? I BOUGHT 6 DIFFERENT LIGHTS, THINKING THAT MAYBE I JUST BOUGHT A BAD LIGHT OR LIGHTS. I ALSO SWITCHED THE LIGHTS WITH THE LIGHT THAT WORKS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE (DRIVER'S SIDE), BUT IT WON'T WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT FILING A COMPLAINT ON HERE, I FIGURED THAT NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, SO THAT IS WHY I AM SENDING THIS INFORMATION IN, IN HOPES THAT SOMEONE WILL LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

THE ADVISOR THEN SAID IT IS A MOTOR PROBLEM, AND DISREGARDED THE RECALL NOTICE. I SAID I WILL CALL AMERICAN HONDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE. *TR

DURING HEAVY RAINS, WATER WILL SEEP IN UNDER THE CARPETS FROM SOMEWHERE FORWARD AND LOWER THAN THE WINDSHIELD. THE WATER COMES FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD, USUALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT DOES NOT DRIP IN, BUT RATHER SOAKS UP FROM UNDER THE CARPET. I PERSONALLY HAVE SEEN THE WATER GROW UP TO 2 INCHES IN DEPTH ABOVE THE CARPETS. AFTER SOME INTERNET SEARCHING, SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE FOUND IN EARLIER MODELS OF CR-V. THE ISSUES FOUND STEMMED FROM FAULTY/OLD FACTORY SEALS ON ITEMS LIKE THE FIREWALL AND A/C VENTS.

OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP KNOWS THIS SITUATION HAVING REPLACED THE BULBS AND COMPLETE HARNESSES. NOTHING HAS STOPPED THE ONGOING PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL WITH A GOOD SOLUTION NOT JUST REPLACING THE BULBS. *TR

2006 HONDA CR-V, VIN: [XXX]. COMPRESSOR FAILED AT 74K MILES. INTERIOR VENTS NOW BLOW ONLY HOT AIR AND THE DEFROSTER NO LONGER DEFOGS WINDSHIELD BECAUSE COMPRESSOR MUST WORK FOR DEFROSTER TO WORK PROPERLY. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA ON 7/15/10. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE #, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ESCALATED THE ISSUE 3 TIMES. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS COMPRESSOR FAILURE WHICH IS COMMON ON THOUSANDS OF HONDA CRV'S FROM 2002 THROUGH 2006 (PLEASE SEE THE FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE). IN SOME CASES, HONDA HAS PAID FOR THE REPAIR; IN OTHERS, THEY PAID FOR PART OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR; BUT IN MOST, LIKE FOR ME, THEY REFUSED TO OWN UP TO THIS COMMON DEFECT. I WROTE TO TETSUO IWAMURA, CEO AMERICAN HONDA, ON 7/20. MY LETTER WAS RETURNED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO AGAIN TOLD ME HONDA WOULD DO NOTHING. I WROTE AGAIN TO THE CEO ON 7/27, BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I WROTE AGAIN ON 8/17 SENDING THE LETTER VIA CERTIFIED MAIL. THAT LETTER WAS RECEIVED 8/19, BUT TO DATE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE. AGAIN, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON HONDA CR-V'S. COMPRESSORS SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 74K MILES. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE COMPRESSOR TURNS ON WHEN THE DEFROSTER IS ON. WITHOUT A WORKING COMPRESSOR, THE DEFROSTER CAN NOT DEFOG THE WINDSHIELD, AND YOU CAN'T SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA CR-V I NOTICED A VERY STRONG BURNING SMELL THAT SMELLED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. IT WAS VERY STRONG AND I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS AT AN OUTLET CENTER IN LK GEORGE , NY WITH 4 OTHERS IN MY CAR. WE ALL WERE OVERWHELMED ON HOW STRONG THE ODOR WAS. I PULLED OUT OF THE OUTLET DRIVEWAY TO GET INTO THE ROAD SO I COULD TURN INTO THE NEXT OUTLET ENTRANCE. AS I TURNED INTO THE NEXT OUTLET ENTRANCE , MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WENT DOWN ON ITS OWN A FEW SECONDS LATER I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE MASTER WINDOW CONTROL AND FROM MY SPEAKER PANEL BELOW IT. I STOPPED THE CAR AND HAD EVERYONE GET OUT. .911 WAS CALLED AND A FIRETRUCK CAME. THE FIREMEN TOOK THE INSIDE PANEL OF MY CAR DOOR OFF AND FOUND THERE WERE BURNED ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT HAD CAUSED MELTING WITHIN THE DOOR. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL HONDA. I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE HONDA FIT WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM IN JANUARY,2010. THE ENTIRE WINDOW MASTER SWITCH AND IT'S CORRESPONDING WIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL. *TR

1) APRIL 5, 2010: FORTY-FIVE MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, MY GAS TANK (WHICH WAS HALF FULL) DROPPED BELOW EMPTY IN JUST ONE SECOND. I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AT THIS POINT, I KNEW THAT I NEEDED TO PULL OVER AND GET HELP. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE PASSING ME ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE NOT ALLOWING ME TO GET OVER. I KNEW THAT IF SOMEONE WOULD NOT LET ME OVER INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE, I WAS GOING TO DIE ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT WOULD CRASH INTO ME. FORTUNATELY, GOD CREATED AN OPENING. AT THIS OPENING, I MERGED ONTO AN EXIT RAMP FOR ME TO REALIZE I DON'T HAVE ANY BRAKES AT ALL. I WENT INTO PANIC AND FIGHT MODE. I WAS AN INCH AWAY FROM SLAMMING INTO A POLE AND TIPPING OVER A LITTLE CLIFF WHEN I SLAMMED THE CAR INTO PARK POSITION IN ORDER TO STOP MY CAR. 2) FAILURE: LOSS OF CONTROL, ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN, LOSS OF BRAKES ON THE HIGHWAY CONSEQUENCES: ALMOST LOST MY LIFE AND COULD'VE EASILY KILLED OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE PROBLEM OCCURRED, BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ENGINE PROBLEM. 3) CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP. SEVERAL SCANS DONE. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. 4) TOWED CAR FROM THAT DEALERSHIP TO MY ORIGINAL DEALER. THIS HONDA CR-V BOUGHT BRAND NEW IS CURRENTLY WITH MY ORIGINAL DEALER. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE DEFECT. *TR

ON MARCH 16, 2010, THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROLS (LOCATED ON DRIVERS DOOR), BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. I COULD NO LONGER CLOSE THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW FROM THIS CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE THREE REMAINING POWER WINDOWS. THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DID WORK (TO OPEN AND CLOSE THAT WINDOW). ON MARCH 23, 2010, I TURNED ON THE IGNITION FOR MY CRV AS I GOT READY TO GO TO WORK. I NOTICED AN INTENSE BURNING SMELL (OF PLASTIC) AND WAS ABLE TO TRACE IT TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AND TRIED TO EXAMINE THE DOOR FURTHER. SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE OPENINGS (LIKE THE SPEAKER COVER) OF THE DOOR PANEL. I NOTICED THAT THE CONTROL SWITCH FOR THE FRONT RIGHT WINDOW WAS NOW STICKING. I PULLED OUT THE POWER WINDOW FUSE FROM THE ENGINE FUSE BOX AND TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. UPON DISASSEMBLING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO EXAMINE THE WIRING INSIDE THE DOOR AND ALL LOOKED NORMAL (NO SIGN OF BURNS). THEY TOOK OUT THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH AND DISASSEMBLED THAT AND FOUND CLEAR BURN MARKS UNDERNEATH ONE SWITCH AND ON THE MOTHERBOARD ATTACHED TO IT. THEY WILL BE INSTALLING A BRAND NEW SWITCH TOMORROW THAT WAS ORDERED FROM HONDA. UNTIL THE SWITCH IS REPLACED, I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE POWER LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE, OPENING OR CLOSING THE WINDOWS, OR ADJUSTING THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SWITCH AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW OF THE DAMAGE. WHILE I DID NOT SEE FLAMES, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE INSIDE THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND HAD THE CAR RUN ANY LONGER, THE SMOKE AND FIRE WOULD HAVE SPREAD AND COULD HAVE LED TO MORE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING (AND NOT PARKED) WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

ON MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2010, MY 2006 HONDA CRV WAS PARKED IN A LOT, TURNED OFF, FOR AT LEAST 10 MIN. WHILE I SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT MAKING FOLLOW-UP SALES CALLS. A WHITE CLOUD OF SMOKE BEGAN TO RISE FROM THE MAIN POWER WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH SPECIFICALLY COMING FROM THE REAR LEFT BUTTON. IT SMELLED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. WITHIN 5 SECONDS, FLAMES STARTED COMING OUT OF THE BUTTON. AFRAID, I GRABBED MY BOTTLE OF WATER, POURING HALF OF IT ON THE FLAMES. THE FLAMES ACTUALLY STOPPED, THE SMOKE CONTINUED. I POURED THE REST OF THE BOTTLE ON IT AND FINALLY THE SMOKE SUBSIDED. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND LATE. I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY HUSBAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE SUGGESTED I STOP AT OUR NEARBY SERVICE STATION AND ASK WHAT THEY THOUGHT. THE NEXT DAY I DID JUST THAT. TUESDAY, JANUARY 26 I PULLED INTO THAT SAME STATION, WHERE I HAVE MOST OF MY VEHICLE SERVICE WORK DONE. THEY REMOVED THE WHOLE CONTROL PANEL TO FIND IT HAD ACTUALLY MELTED AND BURN MARKS REMAINED ON THE FABRIC COVERING THE DOOR. I THEN HEADED FOR THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR. WITH THE CONTROL PANEL IN HAND, I SHOWED AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE OBVIOUS PROBLEM. I WAS THEN TOLD THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A DAY OR TWO FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE SWITCH, WHICH COST ME $187.00. THEY GAVE ME A FREE LOANER CAR AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THURSDAY JANUARY 28, I PICKED UP MY CAR, PAID THE BILL AND LEFT. AS I WAS DRIVING ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, LISTENING TO 1210 RADIO, WHERE THEY SPOKE OF THE HONDA RECALL OF THE FIT FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I HAD ALREADY CALLED THE HONDA NATIONAL NUMBER, SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. AND THEN HAD A CLAIM AGENT RETURN MY CALL. THESE CALLS OCCURRED ON TUESDAY, PRIOR TO MY ARRIVING AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. HIS RESPONSE WAS THE SAME AS THE HONDA DEALER ONLY MORE RUDE AND DEFENSIVE.

I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CR-V 2 YEARS AGO. MY TRADE IN VEHICLE WAS A 1997 HONDA CR-V. SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT, AND SOMETIMES THE DOME LIGHT INSIDE THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BLOWING OUT ON AVERAGE, EVERY TWO MONTHS. DURING THE LAST YEAR OR 2 BEFORE TRADING THE 1997 CR-V, I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING ON THAT VEHICLE ALSO. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HENDRICKS HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC. I HAVE MOST OF MY SERVICE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, DONE AT THAT DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THAT THEY INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I VISITED SUPERIOR HONDA RECENTLY IN ORANGEBURG SOUTH CAROLINA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER THERE TOLD ME THAT IN RECENT MONTHS, HE WAS AWARE OF AT LEAST ONE CR-V OWNER AND SEVERAL OWNERS OF CIVICS WHO HAVE COME BACK AND FORTH TO THEIR DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT. HENDRICKS HONDA ADVISED AGAINST CONTACTING THE CORPORATION AND SAID IT WOULD LIKELY REFER THE MATTER BACK TO THEM. I COMMUTE TO WORK 120 MILES ROUND TRIP DAILY. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY POLICE OFFICERS AND HIGHWAY PATROLMEN REGARDING ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS BEING OUT. I NOW CARRY COPIES OF THE SERVICE REQUESTS SHOWING THAT I REPORTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DURING MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOW THESE TO THE OFFICE AS PROOF THAT THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING AND I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE IT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND/OR TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, OR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS, AND HAVE FOUND NONE. POST SCRIPT: THERE ARE NUMEROUS "INCIDENT DATES".

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV WHICH HAS A LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON TELLING ME THAT THE REAR DOOR IS OPEN. IT IS NOT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS REALLY A SAFETY AND SECURITY PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON, THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED TWICE , THE LAST TIME BEING NOV. 15TH 2007. I AM READY TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE NOW IT COMES ON AND PRETTY MUCH STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

THE FRONT ACC ADAPTOR IN MY 2006 CR-V CONSTANTLY BLEW FUSES. I REQUESTED SERVICE ON MY CAR THREE TIMES, AND ALL THREE TIMES THE FUSES WERE ONLY REPLACED. NO ONE SEEMED TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE SURGE. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR BACK AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2006 AND TOLD THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM, NOT JUST REPLACE THE FUSE. THE HOUSING OF THE ACC ADAPTOR HAD FAULTY CONNECTIONS THAT CAUSED BOTH CONTACTS TO TOUCH AND THUS BLOW THE FUSES. THE MANAGER OF THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT GAVE ME A PRINTOUT EXPLAINING THAT THE COMPANY HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT SINCE MARCH OF 2006 BUT DID NOT WISH TO DO A RECALL DUE TO THE LIMITED AFFECT THE SURGES HAD ON THE OPERATION OF THE CAR OVERALL. I PERSONALLY TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY WITH MY JOB AND USE MY ACC ADAPTOR DAILY. THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT CAUSED ME TO BE UNABLE TO CHARGE MY PHONE WHILE AWAY FROM MY HOME ON BUSINESS. THE PHONE DIED AND I WAS LEFT WITHOUT A WAY TO CONTACT ANYONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR HONDA TO PUBLISH THIS DEFECT IN THE ACC ADAPTOR HOUSING TO ALL OWNERS OF 2006 CR-VS. *NM
