2005 HONDA CR-V Complaints

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING OUT AND KEPT REPLACING BULBS, BUT NOW REALIZE THEY WILL COME BACK ON. I SEE MANY MANY POSTS FROM OTHERS WITH THIS SAME MODEL/YEAR COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS! THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2004, NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO 2005!

TAKATA RECALL- FRONT END HIGHWAY BUMPER TO BUMPER COLLISION AT APPROX 40 MPH- AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAR HAD THE TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO AT A LICENSED HONDA DEALER BUT THE NEWLY REPLACED AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY

A/C STOPPED WORKING I LIVE IN HAWAII AND NEED IT TO HELP CONDENSATION ON INSIDE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS WHEN IT RAINS. READ THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH CRV A/C UNITS FAILING. WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG WHEN I NOTICED WARM AIR WAS COMING FROM A/C IN ON POSITION NOW LOUD NOISES FROM THE UNIT.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT SKIPS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, THEN WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE ENGINE MOMENTARILY "DIES", THE GENERAL WARNING SIGNAL AND THE VSA/ABS/AIRBAG/BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE SNAPS BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RETRIEVED FAILURE CODES IN THE ABS CONTROL MODULE: YAW RATE SENSOR FAILURE; SENSOR CLUSTER FAILURE. THE DEALER RESET THE CODES, COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE 6/1/17. I CONTACTED HONDA AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER, BUT HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO ANYONE SINCE FILING THE COMPLAINT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE CODES, I DISCOVERED THAT THE NHTSA HAD HONDA RECALL THE 2005 PILOT, ACURA MDX AND ACURA RLS. I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING BUT AM UPLOADING SCREENSHOTS. BUT I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE THE VIDEO, THE SAME VIDEO I SHOWED THE DEALER.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM BULBS EVERY FEW WEEKS. THEY BURN OUT AT COMPLETELY RANDOM TIMES (ITS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY, IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS AS WELL AS OUT DRIVING THROUGH COUNTRYSIDE, FREEWAYS; BASICALLY EVERYWHERE). NOT ONLY IS THIS AN INCONVENIENCE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON REPLACEMENTS, IT'S ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY'VE BURNED OUT ON NIGHT DRIVES IN THE COUNTRYSIDE WHERE OUR ONLY OPTION WAS TO USE HIGH BEAMS THE REST OF THE WAY, ETC. UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA HAS NOT YET ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE AS BEING AN ISSUE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP THROUGH 2004 CR-V'S BUT THEY'VE NOT EXTENDED TO THE 05 MODEL YEAR.

HEADLIGHTS FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OUT. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS ONCE OR TWICE PR YEAR.

I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND STOP WORKING WHILE OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BULBS, AND HAVE DETERMINED IT IS NOT ANY PARTICULAR TYPE OR QUALITY. THE NEW BULB WILL TYPICALLY LAST 1-3 MONTHS. THIS HAS BEEN COSTLY, AS WELL AS DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I ALSO PREFER TO DRIVE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY FOR SAFETY, WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE WHEN THEY ARE GOING OUT EVERY 1-3 MONTHS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS, AND HAD FOUND IT TO BE A VERY COMON PROBLEM. I FOUND A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2002-2004 MODELS, BUT MINE IS A 2005 MODEL IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OTHERS ARE REPORTING. FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY, AS WELL AS THE NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD REQUEST THIS PROBLEM BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RECALL. I ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING DATES AND MILEAGE FOR EACH BULB CHANGE WHICH IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

"TAKATA RECALL"- MY WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP/DOWN ON THE DRIVER SIDE (FRONT). I WAS TOLD THAT MAYBE A SWITCHING PROBLEM OR THE MOTOR NEEDS TO REPLACED. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS.

PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH, 2005, WE QUICKLY LEARNED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2005 HONDA CRV BURN OUT FREQUENTLY, USUALLY ON BOTH SIDES AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF EACH OTHER. WHEN REPLACED, THEY WILL LAST ONLY A YEAR OR SO BEFORE BURNING OUT AGAIN. WE NOTICE THEY'RE BURNED OUT WHEN WE'RE DRIVING. WE USE THE HEADLIGHTS BOTH DURING THE DAY (FOR SAFETY) AND OF COURSE AT NIGHT. WE'VE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF REPLACEMENT LAMPS, BUT NONE SEEM TO CHANGE THE PATTERN OF LAMP LIFE. MOST RECENTLY, I'VE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FOUR TIMES (2 EACH SIDE) WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. LAST NIGHT WHEN TESTED AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE PASSENGER SIDE LAMP ONLY GLOWED (DUE TO A BAD GROUND CONNECTION?) AND MYSTERIOUSLY, THE BRIGHT BEAM LAMP ON THE SAME SIDE HAD ALSO QUIT WORKING. I HAVE DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY ONE MILLION MILES IN OTHER VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 27 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH SUCH FREQUENCY. BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY AND SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED RECURRENCES, I HAVE NO CHOICE NOW BUT TO ASK THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ENOUGH PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME VEHICLE THAT IT HAS GENERATED SAFETY RECALLS. PLEASE WIDEN YOUR INVESTIGATION AND RESULTS TO INCLUDE SUBSEQUENT MODEL YEARS OF THE HONDA CRV'S, SPECIFICALLY 2005.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE BACK WINDOW LATCH POPPED OPEN. I WAS NOT IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD ADDRESS IT @ THAT TIME, I WAS APPRACHING A TUNNEL. UNFORTUNATELY, BY THE TIME I COULD PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC, THE WINDOW WAS OPEN COMPLETELY. KIND OF A SCARY SITUATION. IT POPPED OPEN ONE OTHER TIME WHILE PARKED @ MY HOME.
