| 01/02/2011 | 56000 | ||
| I am the original owner of the well maintained vehicle, a 2005 honda crv with 56,781 miles currently, and no longer covered by any warranty. at @ 55,500 miles,the car had the abs and vsa lights come on spontaneously on the dashboard display which indicated that they were not functional. they would not turn off. the car was taken to its regular service dealership, economy honda in chattanooga,tn and the problem was diagnosed (free of charge) as a failure of the abs/vsa modulator (computer). cost to repair was @ $2,400.00 (@ $1800 for the part, balance labor). they said it was o.k. to drive but it had no anti-lock brakes or vsa. because this was a safety issue, an unusual occurrence and very expensive to repair, i contacted the district honda customer service (case # n012011-03-1501146) and explained the problem. they were most helpful and courteous. they recorded the complaint and after 3 days honda called and agreed to share 50% of the cost to repair. the crv was repaired on march 29,2011 at the same dealership with my cost share of $1206.79. in my internet search on the problem, i found at least 55 instances (usa, ca, and eu) of the same abs/vsa problem and cost to repair on one blog i found. all vehicles were 2005 and 2006 honda crvs. | |||

| 2005 crv has headlight low beam burn out problem as i've seen on the internet. the headlights burns out every couple of months. both sometimes both burn out at the same time. this seems very dangerous. so far there has not been an accident that i know of. since 2006 have replace 6 bulbs. | |||

| On numerous occasions head light (s) fails. internet research suggest that this is a common problem on all 2005 honda crv's. the terminals corrode, arc and lose contact. *tr | |||
| INTERIOR LIGHTING | |||
| 05/01/2005 | |||
| Led lights on the dash board of my 2005 honda crv began failing approximately 2 years ago (may 2008) and have now burned out on left side, obscuring tachometer and temp gauge and 1/2 of speedometer. honda service in new britain ct (schaller) refused to fix undder my extended warranty (light bulbs not covered). it appears others have had same problem. honda should do the right thing and recall all '05 crvs for a global fix. | |||

| I am the owner of a 1996 honda accord and 20005 honda crv. the problem that i have experience with both vehicles which was purchased new is that the power locks clicks up and down from time to time, even after locking the doors. i believe this is a common problem with honda vehicles, but may be i am the first to mention it. however, with the doors locks, it puts your safety and security at risk and there should be an investigation of this matter. i have been experiencing this problem with each vehicle after about three years of ownership or after the warranty expires. *tr | |||

| Three years from date of purchase, at 28486 miles, my honda crv was taken to the dealer for service. i mentioned noise when making turns if the car was cold. the dealer said the car needed the differential fluid replaced and the differential clutches burnished, (as per bulletin). my maintenance manual recommends this at 5 years or 90,000 miles. i read that other drivers have had the same problem. i was not charged, because the car had 5 days left on the initial warranty. i assume this is some kind of manufacturing defect. *tr | |||

| I purchased new a honda crv in june, 2005. on august 15, 2007 with 24,064 miles the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $275.54 which being under warranty honda paid for. on february 16, 2009 with 39,477 miles again the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $342.12 which the dealership paid for as they knew i was very upset. i have called honda customer service about this each time and all they do is note it on my record. i feel that there has to be a problem somewhere that they aren't acknowledging or don't care to. granted i have had no out of pocket expenses but don't feel this should be happening. i feel honda's engineers need to look at this and if necessary change the whole system so i'm not changing rear brakes and rotors every 15,000 to 20,000 miles. i know of several other people who have the same vehicle and have had the same problem. *tr | |||
