2006 HONDA CR-V Complaints

FOR MONTHS, SUN VISOR HUNG LOW, NOT BLOCKING VISIBILITY, BUT IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO NORMAL, UPRIGHT POSITION. EVENTUALLY HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE OF VISOR WHERE IT NEITHER CLOSES NOR BLOCKS SUN, MERELY HANGS AND CAUSES VISIBILITY ISSUES. BECAUSE OF ITS POSITION, IT ALSO REGULARLY HITS MY HEAD IF EXITING VEHICLE OR LEANING FORWARD FOR ANY REASON. HONDA RECALLED MANY CIVICS FOR THIS REASON BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR CR-VS. *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BULBS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, IT APPEARS THAT DRIVERS SIDE LIGHT BULBS ARE MUCH DIMMER (ALMOST NOT VISIBLE) IN COMPARISON TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE BULBS. OPERATION OF THE BULB ALSO APPEARS TO BE SPORADIC. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT DUE TO CONCERNS WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING. *TR

HEADLIGHTS HAVE REPEATEDLY BLOWN OUT OVER THE PAST YEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. HAVE CHANGED EACH BULB 4 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. *TR

THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2006 HONDA CRV HAVE FAILED/BURNED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES. SEVERAL TIMES, BOTH LOWBEAMS (RIGHT AND LEFT) HAVE FAILED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2008, THE LIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR, EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUNAROUND. THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL OR EVEN INSPECT THE LIGHTS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO HAVE A "DIAGNOSTIC" CONDUCTED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR $120 OUT OF OUR POCKET. HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE RELATED TO THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THE 2003 AND 2004 CRV MODELS. THE SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING WITH THE 2006 MODEL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, YET HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND A POTENTIAL CLASS ACTION. HONDA SHOULD BE PROACTIVE AND OFFER A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THE HEADLIGHT FAILURES. PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009. *TR

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR NEW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS BURN OUT. A TOTAL OF 25 BULBS HAVE FAILED SINCE 2007. AFTER REVIEWING THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND THIS WEB SITE IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND ADDRESSED BY A RECALL TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THIS WAS DONE ON EARLIER CVR MODELS. *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN OUR 2006 HONDA CR-V A PREVIOUS INCIDENT ON A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY WAS QUICKLY CONTROLLED AND THOUGHT OF AS AN ANOMALY. THIS TIME, ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING UPHILL AT 60 MPH, ATTEMPTING TO PASS, THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. IT WOULD NOT RETURN, JUST KEPT RACING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. THERE WAS NO FLOOR PAD INVOLVED. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AS FORCEFULLY AS POSSIBLE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS PULLED. IT COULDN'T BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A DISTANCE OF A HALF-MILE, AND HALF-MILE FURTHER IS A SIGNAL AND CROSS TRAFFIC. TERRIFIED, WE WRESTLED THE VEHICLE OFF HIGHWAY ONTO A SIDE ROAD, AND GRADUALLY GROUND TO A HALT, BURNING THE BRAKES. WITH THE ENGINE RACING, IT WAS PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF FOR A MINUTE, THEN IT STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY. TOWED TO HONDA THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG EVEN WHEN THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER INSPECTED IT. WE WOULD NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE. WE WOULDN'T FOIST THIS VEHICLE ON ANY ONE ELSE EXCEPT HONDA BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE SO WE RELUCTANTLY TRADED IT IN FOR AS NEW ONE. JUST BECAUSE HONDA CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS THE FIFTH HONDA WE HAVE OWNED, BUT WE ARE NOT GREAT FANS OF THE BRAND ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED HIS VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING THE MORNING HOUR. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT HIS EXPENSE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE ABS AND VSA LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1400 MILES.

LOW BEAMS KEEP BURNING OUT AFTER 2 TO 4 MONTHS OF USE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAT 3 YEARS. JUST RIDICULOUS. DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACES BULBS AND THE BULBS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT WAY TO QUICKLY. EVEN PURCHASED LONGER LIFE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACED BOTH AT SAME TIME, ONE BULB STILL BURNED OUT WITHIN 3 MONTHS. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WHICH MANY ARE EXPERIENCING ON THEIR 2006 CRV. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CR-V (BOUGHT IN 2009). I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE THE HEADLAMP BULBS AS THEY SIMULTANEOUSLY BURN OUT. NOW I AM PLAGUED WITH MY CONSOLE LIGHTS BURNING OUT...I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH OWNERS OF HONDA CR-V INVOLVING THE WIRING HARNESS. I HAVE AN APPT. THIS AFTERNOON TO HAVE YET ANOTHER SERVICE CALL MADE ON MY HONDA...HONDA HAD A RECALL PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME ISSUES BACK IN 2002-2004 CR-V AND OBVIOUSLY THE SITUATION HAS CARRIED OVER INTO THE 2005-2006 MODELS...HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THE 2005, 2006 AND ANY OTHER YEAR MODELS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE(S). HOW DO WE AS CONSUMERS GO ABOUT FILING COMPLAINTS SO THAT HONDA IS PROMPTED TO DO A RECALL? I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN HONDA VEHICLES FOR THE MOST PART BUT AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A DIFFERENT CAR IN THE NEAR FUTURE. KIA...TOYOTA.....FORD ESCAPE.....I AM TIRED OF TAKING MY CR-V IN FOR HEADLAMP AND WIRING ISSUES THE PAST 4 YEARS NOW. *TR

WE HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES THAT I HAVE LOST COUNT. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO HONDA AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE BUT DIFFERENT YEAR AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING ANY BLAME FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEIR IS NO RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. CURRENTLY MY DAUGHTER HAS THIS VEHICLE AWAY AT COLLEGE FOUR HOURS FROM HOME AND SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH A CAR AND NO HEADLIGHTS ! *TR
