2006 HONDA CR-V Exterior Lighting Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH at night, the driver's side low beam headlight had failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that the high-beam headlights operated as needed; however, the driver's side low-beam headlight was inoperable. The contact stated that no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local mechanic who replaced the driver's side headlight bulb. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the failure had become a recurring failure and had recently occurred to the passenger’s side low beam headlight. The contact researched online and became aware of similar failures with other vehicles. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

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

Low-beam headlight bulb repeatedly fails in 2006 Honda CR-V, more often on the driver’s side, requiring replacement two to three times per year. This has occurred since the car was purchased in 2011 over ten years ago. Recall is needed for this common problem.

WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKES WILL SEIZE UP ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING SOUND. IT DID IT TWICE YESTERDAY(12/19/2020)WHILE DRIVING IN THE SNOW AND THE CAR WILL OFTEN SLIDE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ONCE WAS TOLD MY BRAKE LIKE IS PROBABLY FROZEN. THE CAR DEALERSHIP EVEN TOOK THE CONVERTER HEAT SHIELD OFF AS IT WAS DENTED AND THEY THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE. IT IS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN YOUR BRAKES DON'T WORK GOOD AND YOU CAN'T STOP. I HAVE CHANGED MY BRAKES ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BUT IT STILL DOES IT. LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING AND THE CAR HAS EVEN SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKING.

PROBLEM: HEADLIGHT BULB BLOWOUT AT ANY TIME; DRIVING OR STATIONARY. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ACCORDING TO HONDA ARE DESIGNED TO RUN OFF THE BATTERY, NOT THE ALTERNATOR. IF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO PUSH THE BATTERY VOLTAGE BACK UP. THIS CAUSES VOLTAGE SPIKES THAT BLOW OUT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. THIS IS DESCRIBED ONLINE AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. FOR EXAMPLE: CR-V176,000 MILES 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.- STOCKTON, CA, USA TAKATA RECALL LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT STOPS WORKING HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS- MERCED, CA, USA CR-V 150,000 MILES 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.- NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI, USA

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.

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS SO CONSTANTLY CHANGING BULBS. VERY INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN MAY 2018. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS BURNED OUT EVERY 4-7 WEEKS SINCE. NO SOLUTIONS FROM TWO DIFFERENT HONDA MECHANICS. HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR ACCOUNTS. HAVE TRIED H1 BULBS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS, BATTERY WAS CHECKED FOR POWER SURGES, NO MOISTURE, NO REPORTED ACCIDENTS, RUBBER BOOTS IN PLACE, DIDN'T TOUCH THE BULBS, REPLACED THE 'SOCKET' WITH OEM PART, ETC. NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION. ABOUT 130,000 MILES WHEN FIRST TOOK PLACE DURING MY TIME SO FAR. SEEMS TO GO OUT WHEN DRIVING. BULB HAS SLIGHT BURN MARK ON IT AFTER GOING OUT.

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.

Mileage: 246,000

THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT THE DAY I BOUGHT MY VEHICE AND HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NOT THIS ONE. MANY VEHICLE OWNERS COMPLAIN OF REPLACING THEIR BULBS EVERY MONTH OR TWO AND SOME HAVE SAID THAT BOTH HAVE GONE OUT ON THEM DURING A LONG ROAD TRIP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!

OVER THE LAST 12-16 MONTHS, THE LOW-BEAM BULB FOR THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1-2 MONTHS. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. IN FACT, IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAD ISSUED RECALLS ON AN EARLIER MODEL YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE BUT HAVE RESISTED RECALLING ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS. I HAVE NOT YET DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER LOW-BEAM BULB SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN EFFECTED MORE THAN THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK THE TIMING OF THE BULB FAILURES, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT MAY BE RELATED TO LONG DISTANCE TRIPS OF OVER 100 MILES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE AN AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL COMPANY LOOK AT IT AND TRY TO TRACE THE FAULT.

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV SE THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A EXPOSED WIRE GOING TO THE FUSE BOX. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM THOUGH. MY DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT A MONTH AGO AGAIN, AND THEN CAME BACK ON FOR A WEEK. THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. I WENT TO LEAVE WORK LAST NIGH, AND NOW BOTH LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE RECALL DEPARTMENT, AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY CAR. I PAID $400 LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AGO TO FIX THIS, AND NOW I HAVE A WORSE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS I'M PAST MY WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR, SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH ALL LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUT STROBING AND PULSING. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND MY NEXT STEP IS TO CALL THE NHTSA TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. I AM URGING ANYONE HAVING ISSUES TO CALL THE HONDA RECALL LINE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT DO A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AS I AM A TOYOTA GIRL, BUT I DECIDED TO GIVE THEM A SHOT. I DON'T THINK I WILL BE LOOKING AT HONDA'S NEXT YEAR WHEN I GO TO DO MY TRADE IN. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH JUST THE HEADLIGHTS, AND OTHER LIGHTS IN MY CAR THAT AND HAD NOT ISSUES AT ALL WITH MY LAST TOYOTA. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

I AM A ONE TIME OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURNING OUT BOTH SIDES, DOES NOT MATTER WHICH BRAND IS USED. THE LIGHTS BURN OUT ANYTIME 1-3 MONTHS OF USE AFTER CHANGE OUT. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS! AND VERY EXPENSIVE! LIVING IN ALASKA WE DEPEND ON OUR HEADLIGHTS MORE THAN NORMAL TO AVOID SEVER ACCIDENTS IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS, IE VEHICLES, ICE /SNOW/RAIN, HUMANS, MOOSE, CARIBOU ETC. HONDA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED AND REPAIRED THIS CONDITION MANY YEARS AGO! THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONDITION! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS 2007 TO 2016, I AVERAGE 8-10 BULBS A YEAR @ $6-$15 A BULB AND CHANGING THEM OUT IN SUB-0 TEMPS IS NO FUN! THE VEHICLE HAS NO SET PATTERN AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS PARKED OR DRIVING AND HIGH BEAM USE IS A MUST AT TIMES WITH OUT GETTING PULLED OVER.

THE PASSENGER-SIDE HEADLIGHT ON MY 2006 CR-V WENT OUT 06/10/15, SO I HAD IT REPLACED @HONDA DEALER NEXT DAY. THE TECH SAID HIGH-BEAM WAS ALSO OUT! I QUESTIONED THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH AN OCCURRENCE, BUT WAS NOT GIVEN ANY RESPONSE THAT INDICATED A "KNOWN ISSUE" WITH THE HEADLIGHTS/WIRING. JUST A FEW HOURS LATER, THE NEW LOW-BEAM BULB I BOUGHT THUR. 11 JUNE, WENT OUT! NEVER GOT HIGHBEAM REPLACED BECAUSE PARTS DEPT. WAS OUT OF THEM. I WENT ONLINE & FOUND THE FOLLOWING SERIOUS PROBLEMS REPORTED ON LINK BELOW BY MANY CRV OWNERS -- LOTS OF OTHER 2006 CRVS EXPERIENCED RECURRING FAILURE! SEE: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HONDA/CR-V/HEADLIGHTS-PROBLEMS.PHP AND AFTER READING THE COMMENTS OF MANY OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS ON THE ABOVE LINK, I SEE WHY THEY'RE OUT OF STOCK! THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS--I'M AFRAID NOW TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT! RECALL IS NEEDED FOR 2006 CR-V HEADLIGHT FAILURES.

IT WAS DARK SO I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON.

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 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.

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

I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BULBS SO MUCH. AND NOW BOTH! SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT HONDA ISSUE A RECALL AND SEE IF MY2006 IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER RECALLED MODEL YEARS. *JS

DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BULBS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, IT APPEARS THAT DRIVERS SIDE LIGHT BULBS ARE MUCH DIMMER (ALMOST NOT VISIBLE) IN COMPARISON TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE BULBS. OPERATION OF THE BULB ALSO APPEARS TO BE SPORADIC. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT DUE TO CONCERNS WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING. *TR

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

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR NEW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS BURN OUT. A TOTAL OF 25 BULBS HAVE FAILED SINCE 2007.

THIS WAS DONE ON EARLIER CVR MODELS. *TR

LOW BEAMS KEEP BURNING OUT AFTER 2 TO 4 MONTHS OF USE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAT 3 YEARS. JUST RIDICULOUS. DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACES BULBS AND THE BULBS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT WAY TO QUICKLY. EVEN PURCHASED LONGER LIFE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACED BOTH AT SAME TIME, ONE BULB STILL BURNED OUT WITHIN 3 MONTHS. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WHICH MANY ARE EXPERIENCING ON THEIR 2006 CRV. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CR-V (BOUGHT IN 2009). I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE THE HEADLAMP BULBS AS THEY SIMULTANEOUSLY BURN OUT. NOW I AM PLAGUED WITH MY CONSOLE LIGHTS BURNING OUT...I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH OWNERS OF HONDA CR-V INVOLVING THE WIRING HARNESS. I HAVE AN APPT. THIS AFTERNOON TO HAVE YET ANOTHER SERVICE CALL MADE ON MY HONDA...HONDA HAD A RECALL PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME ISSUES BACK IN 2002-2004 CR-V AND OBVIOUSLY THE SITUATION HAS CARRIED OVER INTO THE 2005-2006 MODELS...HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THE 2005, 2006 AND ANY OTHER YEAR MODELS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE(S). HOW DO WE AS CONSUMERS GO ABOUT FILING COMPLAINTS SO THAT HONDA IS PROMPTED TO DO A RECALL? I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN HONDA VEHICLES FOR THE MOST PART BUT AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A DIFFERENT CAR IN THE NEAR FUTURE. KIA...TOYOTA.....FORD ESCAPE.....I AM TIRED OF TAKING MY CR-V IN FOR HEADLAMP AND WIRING ISSUES THE PAST 4 YEARS NOW. *TR

WIRING HARNESS ON PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS BREAKING LEADING TO MARKER LIGHT, TURN SIGNAL AND HEADLAMP FAILURE. THE WIRES ARE BREAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THEY LEAVE THE WIRE SLEEVE IN THE HARNESS. IN THIS LOCATION, THE CONDUCTORS ARE PROTECTED FROM STRESS ONLY BY HEAT SHRINK TUBING AND THE WIRE INSULATION. STRESS FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE RISING WIRE HARNESS AND TRANSFERRED STRAIN FROM THE BACK OF THE LAMP CONNECTORS IS HIGHEST AT THIS POINT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BURNED OUT 6 TIMES FOR EACH SIDE (I'VE REPLACED 6 ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE & 6 ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE) SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 YEARS AGO. THE IRONIC THING IS THAT I USED TO OWN A 2003 CR-V AND I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR THE 2002-2004 MODELS FOR "POTENTIAL FAILURE WITH THE WIRING OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WHICH MAY CAUSE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL".

BOTH LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED ON NOVEMBER 25, 2012 WHILE ON A CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP. A HONDA DEALER CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND REPORTED NO PROBLEMS. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND ADVISED THAT HONDA CR-VS WERE PRONE TO HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. ON THE EVENING OF APRIL 23, 2013 (LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST DOUBLE FAILURE, VEHICLE MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 106,800 MILES), BOTH LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND REPORTED NO PROBLEMS. THIS DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE BULBS AND ADVISED THAT HONDA CR-VS WERE PRONE TO HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. IN BOTH INSTANCES, WE NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURES AT DUSK, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE.

THIS VEHICLE BLOWS OUT HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY. WE REPLACE NEARLY EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS; THIS VEHICLE, AND ITS TWIN, OUR 2005 CRV. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY NOTIFIED HONDA OF THE PROBLEM, THEY DENY A PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE HEADLIGHTS ONLY WORK FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES EACH. WE EVEN HAVE SEARCHED AMAZON, EBAY TO SEE IF THEY SELL THEM IN HUNDRED PACKS, ITS THAT RIDICULOUS. WE WERE HEADING TO THE STORE TO BUY A HEADLAMP ONCE--10 MINUTE TRIP, TOPS, AND THE OTHER BLEW OUT ON THE WAY, LEAVING US DRIVING ILLEGALLY WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE, AND DANGEROUS, IRRITATION WITH THESE CARS. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP SEVERAL BULBS ON HAND AS A CONDITION OF OWNING A CAR. *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 HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS LOW BEAM BULBS ON OUR 2006 HONDA CR-V. I REPLACED THE LEFT ONE THIS PAST WEEK END. THE BULB I REMOVED TESTED FINE, BUT I PUT A NEW BULB IN ANYWAY BUT STILL HAD NO LOW BEAM! THEN AFTER CHECKING FUSES WHICH WERE OK, IT WORKED. NOW IT IS OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING HAD TIGHT CONNECTIONS. THE LOW BEAM IS STILL NOT WORKING EVEN WITH THE NEW BULB. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES. I HAD THE RIGHT SIDE GO OUT A MONTH AGO AND REPLACED THAT BULB. THIS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED I AM NOT THE ONLY HONDA CR-V OWNER WITH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM PROBLEMS. I READ WHERE A RECALL IS COMING FOR MODEL YEARS 2002-2004. I AM ONE OF MANY HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD EXTEND THROUGH THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND CAN'T RECALL A VEHICLE THAT HAS GONE THROUGH SO MANY BULBS. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALER WITH 33,000 MILES ON IT IN APRIL OF 2009.

THE FIRST RECORDED INCIDENT WAS AT 82411 MILES, WHEN AFTER REPLACING BOTH HEADLAMPS MULTIPLE TIMES AT MY OWN EXPENSE, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A THIRD PARTY SERVICE CENTER (THAT I'VE USED FOR YEARS ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES) TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT CIRCUITRY EVALUATED (NO PROBLEMS FOUND). AS STATED EARLIER, AS OF THIS TIME, I HAD ALREADY PURCHASED SEVERAL REPLACEMENT BULBS. SINCE THIS TIME, I, AGAIN, HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES AT MY OWN EXPENSE. OVER ALL, I WOULD SAY THAT IN THE (APPROX) 7 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CRV, I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS APPROX 6-7 TIMES EACH. HAVING SEARCHED THE INTERNET SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS, I FEEL THAT HAVING TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS AS OFTEN AS I HAVE IS UNREALISTIC AND EVIDENCE OF A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND DESPITE THIS, THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. LAST TIME IT WAS "FIXED" IT BURNED OUT THE NEXT DAY. LAST FALL, I HAD BOTH LIGHTS BURN OUT WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AFTER AN ON-LINE SEARCH IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY EITHER THE DEALER OR THE NTSB. *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

I BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA CRV NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER IN MARYLAND. THE CAR HAD ONLY 3 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER HAVING THE CAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WENT OUT. I HAD IT REPLACED. THREE MONTHS LATER THE BEAM WENT OUT AGAIN AND HAD IT REPLACED BY A FRIEND. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM AT LEAST TEN TIMES OVER THIS TIME FRAME. RECENTLY, (OCT. OF 2011) I TOOK MY CAR TO AAA TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS REPAIRED BECAUSE BOTH LOW BEAMS ON DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT THE SAME DAY AND I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACE ENTIRELY.THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT COST ME $600. I AM TAKING MY CAR BACK TO HONDA TODAY (APRIL 2, 2012) TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM REPLACED AGAIN! I ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE HEADLIGHT BOOTS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 CRV. HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK A BIT MORE CLOSELY INTO THIS MATTER.

EXCESSIVE BURNOUTS AND SHORTING OF DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT. REPLACING BULBS EVERY SIX MONTHS ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV. OCCASIONALLY, BULB WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY AFTER REPLACEMENT.

I BOUGHT AN HONDA 2006 CR-V NEW IN 2006. IN OCT. 2009 I STARTED EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB FAILURES. THIS STARTED AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE REPLACED THE LEFT AND RIGHT BULBS 7 TIMES. THIS BULB FAILURE IS SPONTANEOUS AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, IT PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS INVOLVING HONDA CR-V LOW BEAM LIGHT BULB FAILURES IN THE NHTSA DATA BASE. THIS SITUATION IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOT SUPPLY A SOLUTION. I FEEL A RECALL WOULD BE VALID IN THIS SITUATION SINCE DRIVING WITH ONE OR NO HEADLIGHTS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE BULBS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING THE HIGH BEAMS HEADLIGHTS BUT THE LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS HIMSELF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY ABOUT NINE TIMES. DURING SOME OF THE FAILURES, ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

OWN 2006 HONDA CRV, HAD THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT GO OUT AND NOW THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS OUT, REPLACED THE LEFT AND STILL NOT WORKING, LOOKED ON INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CRV HEADLIGHT PROBLEM, CALLED HONDA DEALER AND THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS BUT THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET CARRY OUT THAT THE CRV HAS A HEADLIGHT PROBLEM, WHEN I BOUGHT THE NEW HEADLIGHT BULB FROM AN INDEPENDENT PARTS HOUSE THEY SAID THEY SELL A TON OF THESE AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HONDA DOES NOT OFFER A SOLUTION TO MINIMIZE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A HONDA CERTIFIED USED 2006 CR-V IN JUNE 2010. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT VEHICLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2010. AROUND LABOR DAY WEEKEND, MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. SO WENT TO WAL-MART AND BOUGHT A NEW SET. WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM WENT OUT, REPLACED IT. THREE WEEK AFTER THAT, THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT, REPLACED THAT ONE. THREE WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGERS SIDE AGAIN WENT OUT. REPLACED IT. NOW, THE FIRST WEEK IN DECEMBER, THE DRIVER SIDE WAS OUT, AGAIN!!! I AM VERY CAREFUL TO NOT TOUCH THE BULB ITSELF WHEN REPLACING IT. I'VE ALSO USED THE DIELECTRIC GREASE TO HELP MAKE A SEAL ON THE CONNECTOR. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG ELECTRICALLY. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO GET BRAKES IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, SO I WILL ASK THEM TO TAKE A LOOK. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM STEMS FURTHER DOWN TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF. AT $25/BULB, IT'S RATHER EXPENSIVE. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULB AS MANY AS 6 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006. THE LAST TIME WAS 11-25-09, DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OPTION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHORT LIFESPAN OF THE BULBS. *TR

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". THE ONE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT. *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LEVER DOES NOT RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION DURING LANE CHANGES - NO LOUD ALARM ALERT TO DRIVER THAT DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL IS CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING. MANY OTHER MAKES AND MODELS PRODUCE A LOUD AUDIBLE TONE TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF SUCH DANGEROUS CONDITIONS - BUT THE HONDA DOES NOT. *TR
