2006 HONDA CR-V Complaints

SENSE THE FALL/WINTER OF 2010 I HAVE CHANGE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TIMES. LATELY THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT BETWEEN THREE MONTHS AND THE SHORTEST TIME BEING 15 MINUTES. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF 2006 CR-V CONTINUES TO FAIL. BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE CONTINUES TO GO OUT MONTHLY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE IS A SOLUTION AND THEY ONLY SUGGEST REPLACING THE BULB AGAIN. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESOLVE. *TR

ON THE RECALL EMAIL ALERT ENROLLMENT FORM, THERE IS NO HONDA OR SAAB FOR VEHICLE MAKE. HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE WHEN HONDA OR SAAB ARE NOT LISTED AS ONE OF THE MAKES? *TR

COMPLAINT IS THAT OWNER OF VEHICLE (THE ORIGINAL BUYER) HAS STILL NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ON-GOING PROBLEMATIC TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE RECALL NOTICE HAS NOW BEEN EXPANDED TO ALL 2006 HONDA CRV'S, NOT JUST LOCATION SPECIFIC VEHICLES. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. ALARMING AND FRUSTRATING, CONSIDERING PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAIMED, PARALYZED, AND KILLED BY THESE VERY HONDA-INSTALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS. THEY SAY THEY ARE BEING "PRO-ACTIVE" WHICH IS AT BEST A JOKE. THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND REPLACE THEM IN ALL HONDA VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS. HONDA AND TAKATA BOTH SUCK FOR NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING! *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. GOING THROUGH MY 3RD REPLACEMENT IN ABOUT A YEAR. USUALLY ONE GOES OUT AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER, THE OTHER ONE GOES OUT. I HAD THEM BOTH REPLACED ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF AGO. I WAS LEAVING WORK AND TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND WITHIN A SECOND, THEY BOTH WENT OUT. IT WAS DARK SO I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAIL EVERY FEW MONTHS, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2006 CR-V HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO HONDA, THE NHTSA AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHY HASN'T HONDA ISSUED A RECALL? HONDA DID HAVE A RECALL FOR THE 2002-2004 CR-V FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT FOR THE LATER YEARS, SAYING THAT THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM WAS DIFFERENT IN NEWER MODELS. MAYBE, BUT CLEARLY THE DEFECT/HAZARD IS IN THE 2006 MODEL AS WELL. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO HONDA BEFORE AND DID SO AGAIN TODAY, AND IT IS AMERICAN HONDA CASE # N012014-12-2301127. I INSISTED THAT THEY TAKE A HARD LOOK AT COMPLAINTS ABOUT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE IN THE 2006 CR-V THAT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH HONDA AND THE NHTSA AND ISSUE A RECALL, AS THEY DID FOR THE OLDER MODELS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP SUDDENLY WENT OUT. NEW BULBS ONLY LAST ABOUT A YEAR, AS I HAVE REPLACED THIS BULB 4 TIMES NOW

2006 HONDA CRV SINCE APRIL 2013 I HAVE GONE THROUGH 17 HEADLIGHT BULBS. THAT IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER HAD TO PUT IN ANY OF MY CARS. IF YOU TYPE IN TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS WITH 2006 HEADLIGHTS YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT YOU AS A COMPANY WOULD WANT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR AT LEAST LOOK AT GETTING A FIX. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY AREA DEALER HE DIDN'T SEEM TO THINK THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE INSTALL THEM THAT KNOW BETTER THAN TO TOUCH THE BULB AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THEY WON'T INSTALL THEM FOR ME ANYMORE. THEY ARE WORRIED THAT IT MAY CAME BACK TO THEM. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL AT LEAST GIVE ME A THOUGHT AS TO LOOK AT YOUR COMPUTER. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH HEADLIGHTS LIKE CRAZY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. APPROX. EVERY TWO MONTHS EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE GOES WITHOUT WARNING. MOST RECENTLY I DECIDED TO INSTALL HIGHER END BULBS THINKING THAT MAYBE THE LITTLE 8.00 DOLLAR ONES WERE THE PROBLEM. WRONG! I PUT A SET OF 50.00 BULBS IN EACH SIDE AT THE SAME TIME AND LESS THAN A MONTH LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT! I DRIVE ON VERY DARK RURAL ROADS AT NIGHT COMING HOME FROM WORK AND IF BOTH OF THESE LIGHTS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME I COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISING ON THE CHEST AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
