TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BURNED OUT WITHOUT WARNING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS PULLED OVER BY LAW ENFORCEMENT REGARDING THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ISSUE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,520.
THE HALOGEN BULBS IN MY HEADLIGHTS FREQUENTLY BURN OUT. THEY ALWAYS HAVE, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW SO MANY OTHER OWNERS WERE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I JUST LEARNED THAT HONDA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM FOR YEARS 2002-2004. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON RECORD FOR 2005. HONDA NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE 2005 MODEL FOR THIS RECALL AND CORRECT THIS DEFECT. WHY AREN'T THEY RESPONDING TO THIS ISSUE?
HEADLIGHTS (HALOGEN) BURN OUT WITHIN MONTHS OF INSTALL, REPEATEDLY.
HEADLIGHTS KEEPS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED EVERY 4 TO 6 WEEKS SINCE CR-V PURCHASED NEW. HONDA SHOPS STATES NOTHING WRONG, THEY KNOW WATER IS IN "WELL" WHERE LIGHT BULB IS HOUSED WHEN I GO TO CHANGE IT. HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, ON BULBS AND FUSES. NOW PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT TOTALLY WILL NOT WORK DUE TO SHORT FROM WATER DAMAGE. I HAVE BOTH GO OUT AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, TALK ABOUT A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE KEPT SILENT FOR TOO LONG. BUBS USUALLY BLOW WITH RAIN, OR MOTION ( HEAVY). I NOTICE AFTER OIL CHANGES WITHIN A DAY OR TWO IT GOES, EVEN IF I HAVE JUST REPLACED IT PRIOR TO THE OIL CHANGE.
THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT EVERY 3-6 MONTHS, THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL. I KEEP READING COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME THING BUT HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. BESIDES BEING COSTLY, TIME-CONSUMING AND ANNOYING, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT IS ILLEGAL, YOU CAN GET A TICKET FOR DRIVING WITH A BURNT LIGHT. IN ADDITION THE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD HAS GONE OUT, AND THE 2 REAR DOORS ELECTRICAL LOCKS DO NOT WORK.
I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS (LESS THAN 60K MILES). THOUGHT IT WAS POOR QUALITY BULBS BUT THIS TIME BOTH NEW BULBS (1- MONTH OLD) WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER LUCKILY HIGH BEAMS WORKED. READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A BULB ISSUE BUT RATHER A NECESSITY FOR A WIRING SWITCH/HARNESS RECALL. PREVIOUS YEARS HAD THE RECALL AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE RECALL NEEDS TO EXPAND IN MODEL YEARS
MY 2005 HONDA CR-V PULLS STRONGLY TO THE RIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I VISITED THE DEALER, AND THEY INDICATED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT DESCRIBED IN HONDA TSB 05-022. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT!
POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKAGE FROM POWER STEERING HOSE. I NOTICED THERE WERE RECALL FOR HONDA ACORD BUT NOT FOR CR-V. I READ ALL REVIEWS AND SEEMS IS RISKY AND COULD CATCH FIRE.
SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE TWO YEARS AGO, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES FAIL. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM OFTEN CAUGHT IN THE DARK WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTING. EACH TIME THE BULBS WERE INSTALLED CORRECTLY. LAST BULB FAILED 1/8/2016.
MY 2005 CR-V AWD, FOUR DOOR LOCKS FAILED WITHIN TWO MONTHS, FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE, THEN THE DRIVER SIDE, AND THEN THE TAIL DOOR LOCK, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER, AND WAS TOLD ALL THE ACTUATORS WERE NOT WORKING. I HAD TWO OF THEM REPLACED, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2007 MODELS, I THINK THEY SHOULD START AN INVESTIGATION ON 2005 MODELS ALSO,
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED BY THE CONTACT AND THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 12V136000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND 12V136000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED AND DIMMED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,795.
MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN FAILING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO. I'VE XHANGED A MULTITUDE OF LIGHTS, HAD THE COMBINATION SWITCH CLEANED 3 TIMES AND FINALLY PUT IN A NEW SWITCH, ALL WITH NO RESULTS. SO I FOUND A RECALL EA11012 AND HONDA SAYS IT'S NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR CRV'S. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND IS A SAFETY AND FIRE ISSUE.
THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE TILT STEERING WHEEL NOT STAY IN A LOCKED POSITION. MINE WILL NOT LONGER STAY IN THE LOCK POSITION AT ALL. IT REMAINS IN THE DROPPED DOWN UNLOCKED POSITION CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT IS ALSO A HAZARD WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AS YOU CAN CATCH YOUR LEG WITH IT AND POSSIBLE INJURE YOUR LEG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW SWITCH FAILED TO OPERATE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE AIR BAGS FOR 2002-2006 CRVS WERE BEING RECALLED SO I CALLED NORM REEVES HONDA SUPERSTORE IN IRVINE, CA IN APRIL 2015 TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. AT THE TIME NORM REEVES IRVINE STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY CAME IN FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM SINCE (NOW END OF AUGUST 2015) WHICH IS ABOUT 4 MONTHS SINCE I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND PUT MY NAME ON A WAITING LIST.

ON MAY 7, 2015 MY HONDA DEALER ORDERED A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG INFLATOR FOR MY CRV AS PART OF A RECALL FOR FAULTY AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL AIRBAG INFLATORS IN HONDA CRV'S. BY JULY 27 THE PART WAS STILL ON BACKORDER AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN IT MIGHT ARRIVE. A RECALL LETTER ARRIVED ON JULY 27 SO I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON JULY 27 AND MICHAEL SAID SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BY JULY 28. NO SURPRISE, NO PHONE CALL WAS RECEIVED. THIS HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG FOR A POTENTIALLY FATAL ISSUE.
FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS DUE TO UNEXPLAINED FAILURE. I HAVE NEEDED TO REPLACE BULBS ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO SIX MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE TO BE RECALLED FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:HIGH/LOW BEAM DIMMER SWITCH EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH
SINCE 12/9/2007, I HAVE HAD 22 LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT H1 BULBS BURN OUT. I HAVE READ POSTS BY HUNDREDS OF OTHER 2005 HONDA CR-V OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BURNING OUT. I SEE THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE 2002-2004 HONDA CR-V FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE 2005 AND 2006 MODELS SHOULD ALSO BE CORRECTED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKING TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, AND THE TORQUE STEER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ALSO, WHILE BRAKING, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN A MONTH FOR THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER (CLOVIS CA HONDA NORTH 559-297-1000) TO FIX MY AIR BAG. THEY SAY THE PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM AS OF MAY 19, 2015. I HAVE CALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE SAY PARTS HAVE NOT COME IN.
UNDER ACCELERATION,... AND ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION,... THE 2005 CR-V... "TORQUE-STEERS"... TO THE RIGHT! THE HARDER THE ACCELERATION,... THE HARDER IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT!... IF THIS CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY A PERSON THAT WAS NOT PAYING PROPER ATTENTION TO THEIR DRIVING... THEY WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE AN ACCIDENT!... THE CAR WOULD GO TO THE RIGHT AND GO OFF THE ROAD,.. OR HIT ANYTHING THAT WAS TO THEIR RIGHT!.. I.E. ANOTHER CAR, PEDESTRIAN,... TREE,... ETC. THIS PROBLEM MAY VERY WELL HAVE EXISTED FROM DAY ONE,... HOWEVER IT HAS VIRTUALLY ALWAYS BEEN DRIVEN... "GENTLY"... FOR BEST FUEL MILEAGE.. IT WAS ONLY AFTER A MECHANIC REPLACED A FAULTY "ANTI-LOCK BRAKING-SYSTEM MODULE" THAT THIS WAS DISCOVERED. AFTER THE ABS MODULE WAS REPLACED, IT WAS TEST-DRIVEN. (I.E.) ACCELERATE, THEN BRAKE,... REPEAT. UNDER THIS HARDER THAN NORMAL ACCELERATION, THE TORQUE-STEER WAS DISCOVERED. NOTE: (1.) VEHICLE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS GOOD... (2.) TIRES ARE ALL PROPERLY INFLATED... (3.) AT A CONSTANT/ STEADY SPEED,... AND DURING BRAKING... THE CAR ALWAYS GOES STRAIGHT! (4.) IT ONLY PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT DURING ACCELERATION... THE GREATER THE ACCELERATION... THE HARDER IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT! (5.) THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT.. ATTACKED ANY CURBS,... HIT ANY SERIOUS POTHOLES... ETC.
REGARDING THE HONDA AIRBAG RECALL: #1. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA, ALTHOUGH WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER ON THEIR RECALL WEBSITE, IT SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL. #2. I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON HOLD WHEN I CALL THE LISTED HONDA NUMBER (888-234-2138). I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM MY CASE MANAGER, WHOSE NAME APPARENTLY IS "ONYE." WHEN I ASK TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, I AM PLACED ON HOLD INDEFINITELY, OR THEY TAKE A MESSAGE BUT NEVER RETURN MY CALL. MY CASE NUMBER IS N032015-04-1601-1863. IF YOU COULD ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANK YOU. I WOULD JUST LIKE A CALL BACK FROM A CASE MANAGER FROM HONDA WHO CAN HELP GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED.
IT WAS REPORTED LAST SUMMER (2014) THAT MANY HONDA VEHICLES WERE BEING RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAGS. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE NEWS REPORT AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY 2005 HONDA CR-V WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, EARLIER THIS YEAR I ENTERED MY CAR'S VIN IN AN ONLINE SEARCH AND WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. HONDA NEVER TO THIS DATE SENT ME A LETTER TO INFORM ME. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THE RECALL. THEY DID NOT SENT ME A LETTER BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING SENT IN PHASES. I WAS TOLD THAT AN AIRBAG FOR MY CAR WOULD BE SENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP BY EARLY APRIL. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP NEVER RECEIVED IT AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG IS ON ORDER. HONDA CORPORATE OFFERED ME A FREE LOANER CAR SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MY CURRENT CAR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A LOANER CAR FOR MONTHS. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WOULD GET TO THE PEOPLE DRIVING LOANER CARS BEFORE OTHER DRIVERS. THEY DO NOT EXPECT TO SERVICE MY CAR BEFORE THE SUMMER. I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS PROCESS: NEVER RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER & THE TIME IT IS TAKING TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED.

MY COMPLAINT IS AGAINST HONDA RE THEIR RECALL PRACTICES/DEALER KNOWLEDGE: ACCORDING TO THE HONDA WEBSITE, MY VEHICLE AIRBAG IS TO BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED. I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE THIS SERVICE AT TWO DEALERS IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM (PERFECTION HONDA AND GARCIA HONDA. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 2 VISITS - ONE TO INSPECT AND ONE TO REPLACE PART IF NEEDED. YESTERDAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GARCIA HONDA - THEIR 'MECHANIC/OIL CHANGER' BROKE THE HEAD OFF THE 'BREAKAWAY SCREW' WHILE UNDOING IT. AFTER 3 HOURS IN WHICH THEY SUPPOSEDLY 'TAPPED' THE SCREW, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN A WEEK AND THERE WAS A 50/50 CHANCE THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG - BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW. NOW, I AM UNSURE TO EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE - SUFFICE TO SAY, IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE TO MYSELF OR PASSENGER, THERE WILL BE A MAJOR LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA AND PARTICULARLY GARCIA HONDA! *TR
I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HONDA CRV EXL. PICKED IT UP ON EVENING OF 2/18/15. I DROVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK, APPROX. 30 MILES ROUND TRIP THE NEXT TWO DAYS. I NOTICED VIBRATION AND FELT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT. THE CAR SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY THE WEEKEND DUE TO BAD WEATHER. I DROVE TO WORK MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND THE VIBRATION WAS TERRIBLE. I DRIVE IN VERY SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. WHILE ACCELERATING, IT FEELS LIKE A BUMPY RIDE ON UNEVEN ROADWAY. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE! ESPECIALLY WHILE GOING AROUND CURVES. WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS, THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS VIBRATE. EXACTLY ONE WEEK FROM PICKING UP MY VEHICLE, I'M BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER DRIVING MY CAR AND EXPERIENCING MY CONCERNS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AGAIN FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CAPTURE THE VIBRATION ON VIDEO TO BE SENT TO HONDA. I CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA AND NOW HAVE A CASE MANAGER. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF BY HONDA AND THEY ARE STILL SELLING THESE DEFECTIVE CARS! *TR
AFTER MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH VOYLES HONDA IN MARIETTA, GA FOR DEC. 13, 2014 TO HAVE THE RECALLED AIRBAGS CHANGED, THE DEALERSHIP THEN INFORMED ME AFTER SERVICE BEGAN THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS NOT IN STOCK. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG CHANGED. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHEN IT WILL BE IN STOCK. IT'S BEEN 2 1/2 MONTHS, AND I CANNOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT, WHICH IS A HARDSHIP. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT. I HAVE TO KEEP CHANGING IT EVERY FEW MONTHS. NOW, IT APPEARS THAT THE HEADLIGHT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. LOW BEAM IS VERY DIM AND THE HIGH BEAM DOES NOT WORK. I ALSO EXPERIENCED OTHER TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. VERY OFTEN, THE FUEL CAP WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I CHECK EVERY TIME AND THE CAP IS SCREWED ON TIGHTLY. AFTER A FEW TIME TURNING MY CAR OFF AND ON THE LIGHT GOES OUT. ALSO, AFTER I DRIVE MY CAR, IT ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE BURNED PLASTIC. MY RESEARCH ON INDICATES THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAD NOT ONLY SIMILAR BUT SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. CAN SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS? I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHT FIXED AND WILL COST ME A LOT $$$$. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
