2006 HONDA CR-V Complaints

REPEATED BURN OUT OF HEADLIGHT BULBS. CONTINUOUS REPLACEMENT BY OWNER AND BY SHOP. BOTH SIDES AFFECTED. *TR

HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3 MONTHS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AS REFLECTED IN RECALLS FOR EARLIER MODEL CRV'S. HONDA NEEDS TO DO RECALL FOR THIS FOR LATER MODEL CRV'S. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUFFERED A RIGHT HAND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. SINCE THIS FIRST FAILURE THE BULB OF THIS HEADLIGHT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES, AND CONTINUOUSLY BURNS OUT AGAIN. THE FUSES REMAIN GOOD, THE RELAYS REMAIN GOOD. IT APPEARS THERE IS A WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM AFFECTING THIS YEAR MODEL AS A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCING A SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE. MOST REFERENCE A HEAT DAMAGED WIRING CONNECTOR UNDERNEATH THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT GETS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, THUS NOT CLOSING THE WINDOW. SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE WINDOW WILL STICK AND NOT DISENGAGE TO ROLL BACK DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO TO HONDA WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. THE ADVISOR DID NOT READ RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD ME THAT THE WINDOW WOULD BE SEALED. TWO HOURS LATER, THE WINDOW WAS STICK STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION NOT FIXED. 12/15/2012, TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK INTO HONDA. I TOLD THE ATTENDANT THAT THE MASTER POWER SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED DUE TO THE RECALL. THE WINDOW IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. THE ADVISOR THEN SAID IT IS A MOTOR PROBLEM, AND DISREGARDED THE RECALL NOTICE. I SAID I WILL CALL AMERICAN HONDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ROLL THE FRONT DRIVER SIDES WINDOW DOWN BUT IT FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUOUSLY MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT WARMER OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WEEKS LATER, THE PASSENGER SEAT BEGAN TO OVERHEAT ALONG WITH THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I HAD TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME. *TR

STARTING IN JANUARY OF 2011 I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS NUMEROUS TIMES. THEY ARE NOW GOING OUT EVERY 4 MONTHS. IT IS GETTING QUITE EXPENSIVE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2006 CR-V OWNERS. *TR

I JUST HAD A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH MY 2006 HONDA CR-V 4WD AT 118,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHIN A FEW DAYS AND GAVE LITTLE WARNING UNTIL COMPLETE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP IN ALL GEARS, SO I COULD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY INTO 1ST, 2ND, 3RD,OR 4TH GEAR TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, I WAS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT IT TOOK A FEW ENGINE COOL DOWNS TO GET THE VEHICLE DRIVEN OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A SAFE LOCATION TO BE TOWED TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. HONDA SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A FACTORY-REBUILD. I OWN TWO OTHER HONDA'S (ONE IS A 1990 ACCORD WITH ABOUT 250,000 MILES ON IT) AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IN EITHER CAR. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN HAVE A 23 YEAR OLD HONDA WITH 250,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAS SEEN ABSOLUTELY NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT HAVE A MUCH NEWER 6 YEAR OLD 118,000 MILE HONDA CR-V WITH A 100% FAILED TRANSMISSION NEEDING COMPETE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SEARCHED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT 100% COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITH 2004-2006 HONDA CR-V'S. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THESE NEWER CR-V TRANSMISSIONS THAT HONDA HAS NOT REPORTED (AS OF YET). THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I TOOK MY CAR TO, SAID THAT I WAS THE 1ST CR-V TRANSMISSION THEY EVER REPLACED FROM THE 2004-2006 CR-V SERIES. HONDA ORIGINALLY QUOTED MY $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A FACTORY-REBUILT BUT THEY CONTACTED THE REGIONAL HONDA REP AND WAS ABLE TO LOWER THE PRICE DOWN TO $3000. THAT PRICE IS ABSURD, AS I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A TRANSMISSION WILL ONLY LAST 118,000 MILES. IT WILL BE VERY TOUGH FOR MY FAMILY TO EVEN THINK ABOUT PURCHASING ANY HONDA'S IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE TALKED TO EVERYONE ABOUT HOW GREAT HONDA CARS ARE, WITH A 23 YEAR OLD HONDA STILL GOING. NO MORE WILL I RECOMMEND A HONDA! *TR
