2006 HONDA CR-V Complaints

there was no accident yet!!!!The vsa and abs lights on my 2006 Cr-v came on upon starting and stayed on until the engine was stopped. This happened every time the car was started. the car ends up bucking on me. My Honda dealership diagnosed the problem to be a faulty abs modulator unit. The stated replacement cost is $2,400, including labor. I feel that this defect is essential in ensuring the overall safety of this car. The weight of the car is significant enough that an uncontrolled skid is much more likely to end in disaster than a skid that is stopped with the vsa and abs function working properly. Living in central PA, the abs and vsa functions are used frequently - especially in the winter. These key safety features were a top priority in my decision to buy this car. While the car's life expectancy is touted to be around 300,000 miles, it is unforgivable for such a significant safety function to fail at only 102,000 miles. I feel that Honda should recall these cars and replace the vsa modulator unit entirely at Honda's expense. And for those of us who have already paid for the repair - reimburse the full amount of the repair! the car without vsa and abs is not at all the same "as advertised" when sold new!.

The Vechile Stability Assist (VSA) light came on and took it too my Honda mechanic and confirmed that the Anti-lock Brake System(ABS) module needs to be replaced and this disabled the VSA. Parts+labor over $2,600+ to fix. Called the Manufacturer (Honda) and told me that I would have too first get it fixed and then submit the bill to them and they may reimburse me some of the cost or nothing. Since the ABS component controls brake and stability this a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall. I looked on the web and in the United Kingdom and Canada that Honda has paid in full. In the US, Honda doesn't consider it a defect and thus won't reimburse the owner's for fixing the vehicle. Once again because this an safety issue I believe that Honda should recall these vehicles and cost should be covered by Honda

About 4 months ago I discovered that the electric operator on the front passenger window no longer worked. I recently had a mechanic try to repair it and he found that the motor worked well. He replaced the switches in both the passenger door and the driver's door but window only goes down and not up. The mechanic checked online and discovered that this vehicle model was recalled in December, 2020, for this problem. When I checked on getting my vehicle repaired through the recall, I discovered that my specific vehicle was not included in the recall. Because I am now aware of the risk of fire, I request that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can have it repaired. Thanks for your consideration of this request.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the driver's door and trunk locks failed to operate as needed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Driver side power window will not open. Dangerous because if I am pulled over I can not roll down my window to speak with police. I’ve also seen reports of electrical fires associated with this issue. The issue has not been inspected by 3rd parties.

Every few months one of my low beam headlamps goes out, and I replace it to stay in compliance with local traffic laws. Within the last week, both low beam headlights went out, and both sockets show burn damage that is similar to the issue reported in NHTSA recall: 04V086000. I am concerned that even if I replace both the lights and the sockets, there may be something else going on that could cause a fire. I'd like NHTSA to look into this please. Thank you

Low-beam headlight bulb repeatedly fails in 2006 Honda CR-V, more often on the driver’s side, requiring replacement two to three times per year. This has occurred since the car was purchased in 2011 over ten years ago. Recall is needed for this common problem.

My car gets up to 2500 rpms and the check engine light comes on and the VSA warning light as well. The car jerks hard and the engine stutters and won't hardly go. it's done this to me twice and I had the ecu reset. The diagnostic comes up as the vsa system modulator. I have had my 6 and 9 year old granddaughters in the car with me. If I had been on the interstate in heavy traffic taking them to their doctor appointments, we would have been killed. The third time this thing went out I had to pull into the shoulder of the road to avoid being hit. I believe Honda knows about this problem and they should be made to replace the part for free. This is a major safety hazard and the part runs almost $2000 without the labor. I believe they want to drag their feet and not recall this part because it's so expensive. I don't want to die in my car and I can't afford to buy another one. Thanks.

The transmission is making a loud noise (whining noise) and it could fail at any moment while I'm driving it. The car has 100,000 miles only.

RE: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V-768. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE WITH A LOCAL HONDA CAR DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS RECALL ON MARCH 2ND 2021. I SHOWED UP TO THE APPT. AND THE CAR DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL WORK. I THEN DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION TO THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY I WAS LET TO COME BY IF THEY WERE NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF ME, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHY I WAS COMING. I LIVE 1 HOUR AND 15 MIN AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALER SHOP. THE HONDA MANAGER, AFTER NOTICING I WAS NOT BUYING THEIR LAME EXCUSES, HE VERY RUDELY AND ABRUPTLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THIS PATHETIC EPISODE HAPPENED IN THE HONDA OF ARECIBO CAR DEALER, IN PUERTO RICO ON MARCH 2ND 2021. THE SAME DAY 3/2/2021 IN THE PM, I CALLED HONDA HOTLINE FOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO REPORT THIS ISSUE WITH THE CAR DEALER, THE DISRESPECTFUL MANNER THE DEALER MANAGER TREATED ME, AND ALSO TO SEEK HELP IN MAKING A NEW APPOINTMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL AT A DIFFERENT CAR DEALER IN PUERTO RICO. A VERY POLITE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ASSURED ME SOMEONE WILL BE CONTACTING ME IN THE FOLLOWING FEW DAYS TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND TO ENSURE THE CAR DEALER WOULD HAVE THE SPARE PARTS READY TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK. TODAY IS MAY 6TH 2021, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM EITHER HONDA OR ANY LOCAL CAR DEALER. CLEARLY HONDA HAS NOT TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY AND HAS ATTEMPT NOTHING TO WORK ON MY RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO OR WHO ELSE TO CALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP MAKING HONDA COMPLETE THIS RECALL WORK IN AN EFFICIENT AND RESPECTFUL MANNER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
