2006 HONDA CRV HIT THE GUARDRAIL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR (THE FAST LANE). WHEN IT HIT THE GUARDRAIL THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT PROTECT THE HEAD, INSTEAD IT SQUEEZED THE HEAD INTO THE WINDOW (DEPLOYED DOWN, BUT BAG WENT OVER THE HEAD LIKE A TENT ). *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HEAD LIGHT (S) FAILS. INTERNET RESEARCH SUGGEST THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL 2005 HONDA CRV'S. THE TERMINALS CORRODE, ARC AND LOSE CONTACT. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CRV. I'VE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE CAR. IN NOVEMBER 2009, I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS AND GUESS WHAT-- TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS OUT! UNBELIEVABLE. SERVICE DEPT. TELLS ME I MUST BE GETTING FAULTY BULBS, BUT I NOTICED ON THE OLD BULB THAT THE METAL LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN HOT. *TR

MY 2005 CR-V HAD THE "BLACK DEATH" ISSUE LAST MAY OF 08. THAT SEEMED ODD ENOUGH TO ME THAT A COMPRESSOR WOULD GO THAT SOON IN SUCH A "RELIABLE" CAR. MY WHOLE FAMILY OWNS HONDAS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST 3200 TO FIX IT. THAT MY COMPRESSOR "EXPLODED" (LOL, I AM NOT AN IDIOT, UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM). I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC, WHO SHOWED ME THE LOCKED SPRINGS INSIDE THE COMPRESSOR, AND SAID IT WAS INDEED "ODD" TO SEE AN AC FAILURE THAT SOON. AFTER HE FIXED IT UP FOR 1300. I GOT A CALL FROM THE HONDA SERVICEMAN OFFERING TO MAYBE "WORK SOMETHING OUT". WELL, WITH A SMALL CHILD. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BARGAIN FOR AC IN MAY IN SOUTH FLORIDA, SO HE WAS A TAD TOO LATE. I DID NOT KNOW, UNTIL MY COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN TODAY, THAT THERE WAS THIS ISSUE AND WAS KNOWN. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA, WHO WERE NO HELP AT ALL, AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME 105.00 TO DIAGNOSE IT, AND I WOULD NOT BE CHARGED IF I FIXED IT THERE. HMMM. HONDA AMERICA SAYS THEY WILL ONLY TAKE ESTIMATES FROM HONDA DEALERS AND NOT OTHER STATE LICENSED MECHANIC. SOUNDS VERY FISHY TO ME!! I AM NOW OUT AC (DRIVING 40 MILES TO WORK AT THE TAIL END OF THE FLU), AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH MONEY NEXT. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR IT ALL THEY SAID ALREADY, AND THEY HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN A QUOTE. I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO DO SOMETHING! I AM SO ANGERED THAT THEY WOULD JUST BRUSH IT UNDER THE RUG LIKE THAT. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE. I HAVE SIGNED THE LAWSUIT PETITION, BUT NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I KNOW IT'S OCTOBER, BUT IT'S HOT HERE IN FL!!! ANY IDEAS?? AT THIS POINT, I AM DEFINITELY NOT BUYING ANOTHER HONDA!!!! NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THAT, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS THING EVERY YEAR, AND NEITHER SHOULD I!! *TR

2005 HONDA CR-V. CONDENSER FAN MOTOR SHORTING OUT. SOME HAVE EVEN BURNT WIRES IN THE HARNESS TO THIS MOTOR. AFTER SEEING THIS PROBLEM ON ONE OF MY CUSTOMERS CARS AND FINDING OUT THAT THE DEALERS HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE AND EVEN WORSE I SEEM TO FIND THIS TO BE A LARGE PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV HAS GOTTEN STUCK TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I CHECKED FOR FLOOR OBSTRUCTIONS. NONE WERE PRESENT. I FINALLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO A STOP, AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE. THE OCCURRENCES WERE 2 DAYS APART. *TR

HOOD ON CAR OPENED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY - WITHOUT WARNING - HAD TO STOP CAR IMMEDIATELY DUE TO FACT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. NO ONE WAS INJURED, THANK GOODNESS BECAUSE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR, BUT THERE IS DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. CAR IS LEASED VEHICLE AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE CHARGED FOR REPAIR. *TR

MY 2006 HONDA CRV SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED WHILE SITTING IN FRONT OF MY HOME. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS. THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CONSUMED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT IT OUT. THE CAR HAD NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, HAD BEEN SERVICED BY A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER REGULARLY (THE LAT TIME WAS IN APRIL 2009), AND WAS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED WHEN IT IGNITED. THE CAR IS TOTALED. THE FIREMEN WHO PUT OUT THE FIRE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO SIGN OF VANDALISM, AS THE CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED, NO SIGN OF ACCELERANT WAS FOUND, AND THE FIRE WAS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHICH WAS LOCKED. *TR

MY A/C COMPRESSOR IN MY 2006 HONDA CRV BLEW UP CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENED ON A 9 HOUR TRIP THROUGH TEXAS SUMMER HEAT WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG SECOND GENERATION CRVS. HONDA IS SELLING THESE CARS KNOWING THAT THE COMPRESSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE FULL COST OF REPAIR. IN ADDITION, A REPAIR DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
