2006 HONDA CR-V Complaints

STUDDERIG / RUMBLE @ 40-50 MPH SPERATICLY WHEN YOU ARE EXCELLERATEING THIS HAS BEEN GOIN ON FOR ABOUT A YR.

TO THE TOUCH, ONE SECTION OF THE DRIVERS SEAT GENERATES ALARMING HEAT. COMES FROM INSIDE THE SEAT, NOTHING VISIBLE. NOTICED WHILE DRIVING. HEAT COMES AND GOES

10-YEAR-OLD HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 60K MILES EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF TWO KEY SENSORS IN JUNE 2016: 1) THE VSA/ABS CONTROL MODULE, AND 2) THE AIR/FUEL RATIO SENSOR. THE FAILURE OF #1 CAUSED THE ABS AND TCS LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO TURN ON; AND THE LOSS OF #2 CAUSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TO TURN ON. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE BOTH VIA NON-DEALER MECHANIC WAS $2,425, WHICH OWNER PAID. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL, SO FILING COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD.

VSA AND EXCLAMATION SIGN LIGHTS LIT ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING IN DRY CONDITIONS. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND INFORMED THE VSA MODULATOR HAD FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED...AT A COST OF $2682. MY SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS PART FAILS QUITE A BIT ON HONDAS AND NEEDS TO BE MADE RECALLED SINCE ITS A SAFETY RELATED ITEM.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT CONSTANTLY DROPS DOWN AND BLOCKS MY VIEW. IF I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE I EITHER HAVE TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND OR LAY MY SEAT BACK MORE. BOTH OF THESE SITUATIONS ARE MAJOR SAFETY HAZARDS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA WANTS OVER $100 TO REPLACE ONE SUN VISOR - A MONOPOLY FOR THEM.

I AM THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN EXAMINING THE VEHICLE. MR. JARED LARSEN COMPLAINED THAT HIS STEERING WHEEL BEGAN BEING OFF CENTER BOTH TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT. SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS 90 DEGREES OFF CENTER. UPON EXAMINING THE VEHICLE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE STEEL INSERT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTS TO THE STEERING SHAFT HAS STRIPPED OUT TO THE STEERING WHEEL. UNDER MODERATE PRESSURE THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOOSE AND THERE IS NO STEERING RESPONSE. (NOTICE THE WHITE STRIPE AT THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION IN THE PICTURES AND THE SECOND PICTURE THE STRIPE IS SPLIT BETWEEN 9 AND 12) LOSS OF STEERING CAN RESULT IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED AND THE OLD STEERING WHEEL AVAILABLE FOR EXAMINATION ON REQUEST.

OVER THE LAST 12-16 MONTHS, THE LOW-BEAM BULB FOR THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1-2 MONTHS. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. IN FACT, IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAD ISSUED RECALLS ON AN EARLIER MODEL YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE BUT HAVE RESISTED RECALLING ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS. I HAVE NOT YET DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER LOW-BEAM BULB SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN EFFECTED MORE THAN THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK THE TIMING OF THE BULB FAILURES, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT MAY BE RELATED TO LONG DISTANCE TRIPS OF OVER 100 MILES. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE AN AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL COMPANY LOOK AT IT AND TRY TO TRACE THE FAULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

THE USED 2006 HONDA CR-V AWD THAT I PURCHASED FROM THE HONDA DEALER IN OCT 2016 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE 405 FREEWAY IN KIRKLAND, WA IN MAR 2017. THE HONDA CR-V REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV SE THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A EXPOSED WIRE GOING TO THE FUSE BOX. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM THOUGH. MY DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT A MONTH AGO AGAIN, AND THEN CAME BACK ON FOR A WEEK. THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. I WENT TO LEAVE WORK LAST NIGH, AND NOW BOTH LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE RECALL DEPARTMENT, AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY CAR. I PAID $400 LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AGO TO FIX THIS, AND NOW I HAVE A WORSE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS I'M PAST MY WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR, SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH ALL LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUT STROBING AND PULSING. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND MY NEXT STEP IS TO CALL THE NHTSA TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. I AM URGING ANYONE HAVING ISSUES TO CALL THE HONDA RECALL LINE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT DO A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AS I AM A TOYOTA GIRL, BUT I DECIDED TO GIVE THEM A SHOT. I DON'T THINK I WILL BE LOOKING AT HONDA'S NEXT YEAR WHEN I GO TO DO MY TRADE IN. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH JUST THE HEADLIGHTS, AND OTHER LIGHTS IN MY CAR THAT AND HAD NOT ISSUES AT ALL WITH MY LAST TOYOTA. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
