2005 HONDA CR-V Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE FAILURE HAD RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND SOMETIMES INCLUDED THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS, BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 122,896.

THE HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2005 CRV HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES ON EACH SIDE DURING THE LAST YEAR. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT DEFECT BUT IT DOES NOT COVER THE 2005 MODELS. WHEN WILL HONDA ANNOUNCE THE RECALL ON THIS FOR THE 2005 MODEL? I AM CONCERNED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL FAIL AT THE SAME TIME AND I WILL BE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THEN IT WILL BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY HONDA CR-V HAS HAD THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THEY USUALLY GO OUT ONE AT A TIME, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND, THEY BOTH WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. HONDA SAYS THIS IS A RECALL FOR 2002 TO 2004 CR-V FOR A WIRING ISSUE ON THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, BUT 2005 IS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE THERE IS DEFECTIVE WIRING IN MY HEADLIGHT SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE LOW BEAM BULB WAS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 CR-V HAVE BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES OVER THE PAST 7 MONTHS. SOMETIMES THE PASSENGER SIDE, SOMETIMES THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND ONE TIME BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT NIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH 2002-2004 CR-V DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS, BUT NOT WITH ANY LATER MODELS YET. I HAVE INFORMED HONDA OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME. *JS

TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE DASH AC LOOKED AT WAS TOLD THE COMPRESSOR HAD WHAT THEY CALLED GRENADED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAD BLEW APART AND SENT SMALL PIECES OF METAL THROUGH THE AC SYSTEM. AND THE WHOLE COMPLETE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED I HAVE READ ON A FEW SITES OF OTHER PEOPLES CRV DOING THE SAME THING. *JS

KEEP REPLACING HEADLIGHTS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS! IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND HONDA DOES NOT ADMIT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH 2005 HONDA C-RV. NOW THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL.TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY AND IF I DON'T LIKE THERE ANSWER I WILL GO ELSEWHERE! POSSIBLE LAWSUIT! *JS

SINCE 2010 LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAIL, ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, EVERY 2 OR 3 MONTHS. HAVE REPLACED BOTH SIDES SEVERAL TIMES. I JUST HEARD ABOUT A RECALL AND DISCOVERED 2005 NOT INCLUDED - IT NEEDS TO BE. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OF HEADLIGHT SHORTING OUT AS YOUR NEW RECALL FOR 2002 - 2004 OWNERS. MY CAR IS 2005 UT NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. WHY??? *JS
