| 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. | |||

| 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 shoud 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 puchased this vehicle from a honda dealer with 33,000 miles on it in april of 2009. please investigate this safety issue! thank you. | |||

| 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 similiar complaints on the internet. | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||

(high beams o.k.) 12/2011 received police warning when passenger's side low beam headlight failed while driving (high beams okay). both bulbs replaced. 6/2/12 driver's side low beam failure. again, both bulbs replaced. 7/18/12 passenger's side low beam failed. i attempted to have both bulbs replaced. passenger's side low beam was inoperative even with the new bulb. technician checked the power supply with a volt meter. there was no ground on the passenger's side low beam. driver's side low beam works (for now), and both high beams. my cr-v was manufactured in 2005. perhaps it has the same defective terminals, lighting switches and harnesses as those used in the 2002-04 cr-v's recalled by honda march 22, 2012? this makes night driving dangerous. *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. obviously, there is an issue and people are spending large quantities of money to fix someone else's mistake. | |||

| The low-beam headlights on this vehicle do not last, causing me to have to drive a lot of the time with only one low-beam headlight, which is a safety problem. in the five years we have owned this vehicle, i have replaced each of the front low-beams (left and right) at least 10 times each. honda only has their warranty on their lights, and hasn't tried to do anything further with the vehicle problem to this point. it is an aggravating and frustrating problem, and also a safety hazard. i have seen numerous similar complaints online with this vehicle from this time period, and know of at least one owner of an identical vehicle in our small town who is experiencing similiar problems with his low-beam headlights. | |||

| 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 spontanious 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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/buld, it's rather expensive. | |||

| 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 | |||
