2006 HONDA CR-V Complaints

PROBLEM: HEADLIGHT BULB BLOWOUT AT ANY TIME; DRIVING OR STATIONARY. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ACCORDING TO HONDA ARE DESIGNED TO RUN OFF THE BATTERY, NOT THE ALTERNATOR. IF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO PUSH THE BATTERY VOLTAGE BACK UP. THIS CAUSES VOLTAGE SPIKES THAT BLOW OUT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. THIS IS DESCRIBED ONLINE AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. FOR EXAMPLE: CR-V176,000 MILES PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FUNCTION... HAVE REPLACED BULB EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT THIS TIME (SINCE FEB. 2019) THERE IS NO RECOVERY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB, SOCKET AND CONNECTOR, CHECKED FUSES...HI BEAM AND PARKING/SIGNAL BULBS ALL FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NO LOW BEAM ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IN THE 2005 MODELS. HONDA, IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS, OF WHICH 2006 IS ONE, HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO OFFER REMEDY. THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH INSTANCES OF THIS UNIQUE HAZARD TO JUSTIFY A RECALL, AND ONE IS LONG OVERDUE.- STOCKTON, CA, USA TAKATA RECALL LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT STOPS WORKING HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS- MERCED, CA, USA CR-V 150,000 MILES HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER INSTALLATION. BUT THEY BLOW OFTEN ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY GO, I IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE STORE TO BUY REPLACEMENTS. JUST THIS EVENING, I HAD A THE RIGHT SIDE GO WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I FEAR THAT BOTH MAY GO AT THE SAME TIME WHEN MY WIFE OR I ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH OUR INFANT IN THE BACKSEAT. THE BULBS HAVE BLOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AS WELL AS WHEN PARKED. SINCE WE ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE IN 2009, I HAVE REPLACED OVER A DOZEN BULBS. I HAVE ONLY RECENTLY STARTED SAVING RECEIPTS TO BETTER TRACK THIS ISSUE.- NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI, USA

HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT. ON A MONTHLY BASIS WE ARE PAYING TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THEN WE GET STOPPED FOR ONE BEING OUT, TAKE IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THEY ARE WORKING. NOTHING SHORT OF FRUSTRATING. THESE OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN STOPPED. ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE 20 OR SO MONTHS AND APPEARS TO BE COMING MORE FREQUENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOORS WERE UNABLE TO OPEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT OPENED A WINDOW AND INSERTED THE KEY TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, BUT THE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY OPEN BOTH REAR DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION HONDA (385 LOCATED AT 4030 HACKS CROSS RD, MEMPHIS, TN 38125, (901) 209-1308), BUT THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR SPECIFICS WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

I TOOK MY CRV IN FOR SERVICE AT SILKO HONDA IN RAYNHAM, MA. THEY DIAGNOSED A SHORT IN THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THAT AIRBAG WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PART IS ONLY 1 YEAR. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR OF THIS SAFETY SENSITIVE ISSUE AS PART OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH ITS AIRBAGS.

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS SO CONSTANTLY CHANGING BULBS. VERY INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 12V-124 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: S33 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION: FRONT LOWER ARM WELD RECALL DATE: 03/22/2012 SUMMARY: HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 CR-V VEHICLES. THE WELD STRENGTH ATTACHING THE SUB-FRAME BUSHING COLLAR TO THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT LOWER ARM IS INSUFFICIENT. THE COLLAR CAN SEPARATE FROM THE ARM DUE TO VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. SAFETY RISK: AS A RESULT, A LOSS OF STEERING CAN OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH. REMEDY: HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PRODUCTION LOT STAMP ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT LOWER ARM AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LOWER ARM, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT APRIL 17, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009. I HAVE HAD THIS PART BREAK ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV TWICE. THIS IS THE SAME PART THAT IS LISTED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY VIN ADDED TO THE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AFFECT THE SAFETY OF MY DRIVING. WHEN I TURN, I AM ABLE TO FEEL THE STEERING NOT AS STABLE AS IT SHOULD BE.
