2005 HONDA CR-V Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V344000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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

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,
