| 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. | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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. please contact with more questions if this information is unclear or could be improved. | |||

| 2006 honda cr-v, vin: jhlrd68586c008663. 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| Non-driving failure: at night, when opening car the door, meter needles keep shaking regardless if key is in or out. in-driving failure: for each day first driving, all meter needles suddenly point at 0-position, and brake & maintenance light on and display keeps flashing, regardless if car is moving or at a stop, or fuel tank is full. such problem keeps several minutes and automatically goes away. the failure is repeated for the first driving of each driving day. dealer said they do not know the root cause but saw one similar case a few months ago and after replacing the entire meter panel the customer never came back. dealer mentioned that early build of 2006 honda cr-vs have such problem and american honda already knew the problem. but american honda claimed to the customer that it does not know such failure. though not knowing the root cause, american honda instructed dealer to replace entire meter panel, the car is still in repair as of 6/22/2006. we found odi id #10156440 has similarity. *jb | |||

| Electrical problem. from the first morning after i purchased vehicle until warmer weather came. in cold weather, below 34 degrees, even before key is placed in ignition, the speedometer is twitching showing electrical current going through. once key is placed in ignition, for the first 3-8 minutes, the electrical system does not work. trip meter is reset, inside dashboard panel has a mind of it's own. dealer has so far replaced the fuse box and the electrical cluster. they don't know what to do so have called american honda to take over.*jb | |||
