2006 Honda CR-V complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V486000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY) WHEN THE TECHNICIAN ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT THE STAMP ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN MADE THE CONTACT AWARE THAT RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V124000 (SUSPENSION) WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,022.

FOR MONTHS, SUN VISOR HUNG LOW, NOT BLOCKING VISIBILITY, BUT IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO NORMAL, UPRIGHT POSITION. EVENTUALLY HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE OF VISOR WHERE IT NEITHER CLOSES NOR BLOCKS SUN, MERELY HANGS AND CAUSES VISIBILITY ISSUES. BECAUSE OF ITS POSITION, IT ALSO REGULARLY HITS MY HEAD IF EXITING VEHICLE OR LEANING FORWARD FOR ANY REASON. HONDA RECALLED MANY CIVICS FOR THIS REASON BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR CR-VS. *TR

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

HEADLIGHTS HAVE REPEATEDLY BLOWN OUT OVER THE PAST YEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. HAVE CHANGED EACH BULB 4 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. *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. AFTER REVIEWING THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND THIS WEB SITE IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND ADDRESSED BY A RECALL TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THIS WAS DONE ON EARLIER CVR MODELS. *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN OUR 2006 HONDA CR-V A PREVIOUS INCIDENT ON A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY WAS QUICKLY CONTROLLED AND THOUGHT OF AS AN ANOMALY. THIS TIME, ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING UPHILL AT 60 MPH, ATTEMPTING TO PASS, THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. IT WOULD NOT RETURN, JUST KEPT RACING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. THERE WAS NO FLOOR PAD INVOLVED. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AS FORCEFULLY AS POSSIBLE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS PULLED. IT COULDN'T BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A DISTANCE OF A HALF-MILE, AND HALF-MILE FURTHER IS A SIGNAL AND CROSS TRAFFIC. TERRIFIED, WE WRESTLED THE VEHICLE OFF HIGHWAY ONTO A SIDE ROAD, AND GRADUALLY GROUND TO A HALT, BURNING THE BRAKES. WITH THE ENGINE RACING, IT WAS PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF FOR A MINUTE, THEN IT STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY. TOWED TO HONDA THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG EVEN WHEN THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER INSPECTED IT. WE WOULD NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE. WE WOULDN'T FOIST THIS VEHICLE ON ANY ONE ELSE EXCEPT HONDA BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE SO WE RELUCTANTLY TRADED IT IN FOR AS NEW ONE. JUST BECAUSE HONDA CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS THE FIFTH HONDA WE HAVE OWNED, BUT WE ARE NOT GREAT FANS OF THE BRAND ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED HIS VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING THE MORNING HOUR. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT HIS EXPENSE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE ABS AND VSA LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1400 MILES.

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

WE HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES THAT I HAVE LOST COUNT. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO HONDA AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE BUT DIFFERENT YEAR AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING ANY BLAME FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEIR IS NO RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. CURRENTLY MY DAUGHTER HAS THIS VEHICLE AWAY AT COLLEGE FOUR HOURS FROM HOME AND SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH A CAR AND NO HEADLIGHTS ! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

REPEATEDLY THE HEADLIGHT BULBS BLOW OUT. PURCHASED CAR USED 10/2012, REPLACED BULB 12/2012, AGAIN 6/2013 AND NOW ANOTHER ONE BLOWN 10/2013. *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. MELTING OF THE WIRE INSULATION AND HEAT SHRINK TUBING WAS FOUND. *TR

ON A 200 MILE TRIP THE AIR CONDITIONER/ COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP. I HAD JUST COMPLETED THE 100,000 MILE SCHEDULED SERVICE WHICH INCLUDED THE DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME AS LONG AS I DIDN'T ATTEMPT TO USE THE A/C OR DEFROSTER. OBVIOUSLY HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPRESSORS THEY ARE USING IN THERE VEHICLES. HOPEFULLY DOT WILL INVESTIGATE THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT. MY SISTER IN LAW HAS ALSO REPLACED TWO COMPRESSORS IN HER 2006 HONDA CRV AT LOWER MILEAGE INTERVALS. NO MORE HONDAS FOR ME! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE, FALLING IN FIELD OF VISION, CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION OF VISIBILITY. *TR

AIR LEAKS FROM THE RIM OF WHEELS (STEEL - AT WELD POINTS?). AT LEAST TWO SO FAR. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS OUT OF WARRANTY, OUT OF LUCK. 2006 HONDA CRV. *TR

MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES HAVE STOPPED WORKING, AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE A 2006 CRV WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. HONDA TOLD ME IT IS OVER 2000 TO FIX AND IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL NOT BE RECALLED. THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT I DON'T NEED TO GET IT FIXED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, SINCE MY BRAKES WILL NOT WORK IN SNOW, ICE OR RAIN AND I LIVE IN WISCONSIN (WHERE THE WEATHER WILL LOCK MY BRAKES UP) THANK YOU

I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS 4 TIMES THE PAST 2 YEARS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND 2 TIMES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS TIME THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT AND AFTER TRYING 2 NEW BULBS THEY STILL WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DASH LIGHT NOT COMING ON. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR A CHECK IN 4 DAYS. OVER THE LIFE OF THIS CAR THE BULBS SEEM TO LAST A VERY SHORT TIME. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT STOPPED ILLUMINATING INTERMITTENTLY AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *TR

BOTH LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING LEAVING THE ROAD IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS WAS DISCOVERED AND RESULTED IN A PREVIOUS HONDA CRV RECALL WHIYH WAS NOT EXTENDED TO MY VEHICLE: RECALL SUBJECT : LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT REPORT RECEIPT DATE: MAR 30, 2012 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V136000 COMPONENT(S): EXTERIOR LIGHTING *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS STARTED, THE ABS AND VSA WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ABS MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURED PART WAS ORDERED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE WITHIN THREE WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) WARNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER (GRAPPONE HONDA, BOW, NH) WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE ABS MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT HAD A DEFECTIVE INTERNAL VALVE AND FAILED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE CAR ABS SYSTEM WAS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL, AND THIS ALSO DISABLED THE VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY) SYSTEM, THUS MAKING THE HONDA CR-V MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROLL-OVERS. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY IS CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATING REQUIRING ABS SYSTEM OPERATION TO PASS ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTIONS, BUT THAT THE HONDA CR-V COULD CURRENTLY BE DRIVEN WITHOUT AN OPERATIONAL ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. THE HONDA DEALER INDICATED IT WOULD COST $2,050.00 TO REPAIR THE ABS MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE DAYS TO ORDER THE PART AND FURTHER ADDITIONAL DAYS TO SCHEDULE REPAIR ONCE THE PART WAS AT THE DEALER. I REVIEWED SAFERCAR.GOV INFORMATION AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HONDA ABS/VSA SYSTEM PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON OTHER HONDA CR-VS. AN ASSESSMENT OF AVAILABLE INTERNET INFORMATION INDICATED APPROXIMATELY 55 CASES OF HONDA ABS MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT FAILURES. SINCE ABS (AND VSA) IS SO CENTRAL TO SAFE CAR OPERATION, I ASK THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION ACT TO ADDRESS THIS RECURRENT HONDA CR-V BRAKING SYSTEM ABS MODULATOR INTERNAL DEFECT. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN LIGHT OF THE ABS/VSA SYSTEM'S IMPACT ON HONDA CR-V BRAK

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". I DID A BIT OF RESEARCH AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. BELOW ARE A COUPLE OF LINKS YOU CAN CHECK OUT: 1) HTTP://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/27-MISCELLANEOUS-GENERAL-CR-V-DISCUSSIONS/17512-06-CR-V-HEADLIGHTS-BURNING-OUT-FREQUENTLY.HTML 2) HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA-CR-V/TLND3JKAUI93FS68G/P3 I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT MAY BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. *TR

MY AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING WARM AIR NOT COOL OR COLD AT ALL. I TOOK IT INTO HONDA DEALER... IT WILL COST ME $900 TO REPLACE IT. I AM NOT TO USE IT AT ALL BECAUSE IT MIGHT IMPLODE OR EXPLODE... I WAS CALLED BY THE HONDA SALES DEPT WHEN I GOT HOME... I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS ON A FIXED INCOME AND COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. (RETIRED). SO NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR , I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. THEN I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FOR THE HONDA CRVS 2002 - 2004 BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AND MANY OTHER CRV YEARS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! NOT JUST THE 2002 -2004S. WHY DIDN'T HONDA RECALL ALL OF THE AIR COMPRESSORS... MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YRS OLD. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS MY BAD LUCK AT FIRST UNTIL I WENT ONLINE AND SAW ALL THE COMPLAINTS REG THE COMPRESSORS! CAN SOMETHING BE DONE TO HELP US OUT? THIS IS DANGEROUS. I CANNOT EVEN USE THE FAN FOR AIR FLOW UNTIL IT IS FIXED... I DON'T WANT IT IMPLODING OR EXPLODING! HELP *TR

SUDDEN FAILURE (WARNING LIGHTS) OF ABS AND VSA SYSTEMS. CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO HANDLE DURING SHIFTING GEARS. 2006 HONDA CRV LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FROM HEARD FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT BEGAN TO EMIT HOT AIR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAD EXPLODED. THE EXPLOSION DESTROYED THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, IN WHICH THE FULL AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND COMPRESSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,979 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000. *TR

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. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN NOVEMBER 2005 AND THESE ARE THE ONLY INSTANCES OF HEADLIGHT FAILURE. *TR

BEGINNING IN 2008 I BEGAN NOTICING THAT I WAS CHANGING MY HEADLAMP BULBS ON A FAIRLY FREQUENT BASIS. AS MUCH AS 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR. MOSTLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. RECENTLY THE LOW BEAM WENT OUT AGAIN, APRIL 2013, AND WHEN I REPLACED THE BULB THE LOW AND HIGH BEAMS BOTH SHINED VERY DIMLY AND WHEN I SWITCHED ON THE HIGH BEAMS BOTH LAMPS WENT OUT. I AM AT A LOSS BUT SUSPECT THAT THERE IS A SWITCH PROBLEM. HONDA ALSO RECENTLY RECALLED MY VEHICLE FOR A FAULTY MASTER WINDOW SWITCH. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BEGAN TO SAG AND FINALLY WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS APPROXIMATELY 5 INCHES FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN. I ALSO HIT MY HEAD ROUTINELY ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. DEALER ADVISES THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PATTERN OF FAILURE WITH VISORS ON THE 2006 CRV, AND ARE ONLY AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH VISORS ON CIVICS. I HAVE READ BLOGS SHOWING THERE ARE ACTUALLY NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILURES, AND REPEATED REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2006 MODEL. THEY ADVISE THE CHARGE WILL BE $150.00 PLUS LABOR TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *TR

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

AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE AT 90,000. ITS TWIN, A 2005 CRV, HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AT THE SAME MILEAGE. THIS REPAIR WAS $900. THE AC HAD RECENTLY HAD A TUNEUP, AS WE WERE CONCERNED OVER IT DUE TO THE OLDER CAR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CHECKUP SHOWED NO ISSUES; FAILURE WAS SUDDEN. *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 INCORRECTLY PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE 1. I NOTICED MY MISTAKE AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE. THE CAR'S COMPUTER PUT THE VEHICLE IN FULL THROTTLE. I BRAKED AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RPM GAUGE SHOWED THE CAR TO BE IN FULL THROTTLE. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WAS OK AFTER THIS INCIDENT. I AM 100% SURE THAT THE COMPUTER ON THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME PROBLEMS. *TR

AMBLER PA, PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BLOWN OUT THREE TIMES IN 11 MONTHS. FEB 2012, JANUARY 2013 AND LAST NIGHT 02/02/13 DURING A SNOW STORM. DRIVER SIDE HAS BLOWN OUT ONCE IN THE PAST YEAR. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2006 HONDA CR-V, A RECALL IS PROBABLY AN APPROPRIATE ACTION. *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. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE! THANK YOU. *TR

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 EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE HEADLIGHT FAILURES OVER THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS, ALMOST ALL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. 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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN SECURED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT SHE DID PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT VISOR AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HERSELF. THE FAILURE LATER RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

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 DECIDED TO WRITE THIS AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB FOR IDEAS ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CRV, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT - IT'S GETTING ANNOYING TO ALWAYS BE REPLACING THEM. I CANNOT SERVICE MY OWN VEHICLE AND ALWAYS SEEM TO BE INTO OUR MECHANIC GETTING A NEW BULB REPLACED FOR THIS VEHICLE. NOW MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THE CAR AND I HATE HAVING HER COME HOME AT NIGHT AND TELL ME THE BULB HAS BURNT OUT AGAIN (TWICE IN A MONTH AS OF THIS WEEK ALREADY SINCE DECEMBER 2012). I'M SURE THAT I'VE REPLACED OVER 12 SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE NEW. LUCKILY THEY HAVE NEVER GONE OUT AT THE SAME TIME WHICH WOULD BE DANGEROUS. *TR

HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3 MONTHS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AS REFLECTED IN RECALLS FOR EARLIER MODEL CRV'S. HONDA NEEDS TO DO RECALL FOR THIS FOR LATER MODEL CRV'S. *TR

REPEATED BURN OUT OF HEADLIGHT BULBS. CONTINUOUS REPLACEMENT BY OWNER AND BY SHOP. BOTH SIDES AFFECTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUFFERED A RIGHT HAND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. SINCE THIS FIRST FAILURE THE BULB OF THIS HEADLIGHT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES, AND CONTINUOUSLY BURNS OUT AGAIN. THE FUSES REMAIN GOOD, THE RELAYS REMAIN GOOD. IT APPEARS THERE IS A WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM AFFECTING THIS YEAR MODEL AS A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCING A SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE. MOST REFERENCE A HEAT DAMAGED WIRING CONNECTOR UNDERNEATH THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT GETS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, THUS NOT CLOSING THE WINDOW. SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE WINDOW WILL STICK AND NOT DISENGAGE TO ROLL BACK DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO TO HONDA WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. THE ADVISOR DID NOT READ RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD ME THAT THE WINDOW WOULD BE SEALED. TWO HOURS LATER, THE WINDOW WAS STICK STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION NOT FIXED. 12/15/2012, TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK INTO HONDA. I TOLD THE ATTENDANT THAT THE MASTER POWER SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED DUE TO THE RECALL. THE WINDOW IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. 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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ROLL THE FRONT DRIVER SIDES WINDOW DOWN BUT IT FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUOUSLY MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT WARMER OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WEEKS LATER, THE PASSENGER SEAT BEGAN TO OVERHEAT ALONG WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I HAD TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME. *TR

STARTING IN JANUARY OF 2011 I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS NUMEROUS TIMES. THEY ARE NOW GOING OUT EVERY 4 MONTHS. IT IS GETTING QUITE EXPENSIVE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2006 CR-V OWNERS. *TR
