2006 HONDA CRV LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP FAILING ON PASSENGER SIDE. BULB REPLACEMENT DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM. DEALER HAS NOT IDENTIFIED PROBLEM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AFTER THE HEADLIGHT BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, THE RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT NO LONGER LIGHTS. THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW, THE OLD BULB IS COMPLETELY INTACT (FILAMENT AS WELL AS GLASS- NO BURNED MARKS AT ALL), AND THE FUSES ARE NOT BLOWN. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND IN FACT HONDA HAS RECALLED 550,000 PREVIOUS PILOT AND CR-V MODELS FOR THIS FAILURE. SEEMS THE WIRING HARNESS IS TOO SHORT, AND DISCONNECTS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE, AND IS NOT DUE TO OWNER ERROR. THANK YOU. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS BURN OUT EVERY 5-7 WEEKS, ESPECIALLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH CONSTANT ROAD HAZARDS SUCH AS DEER, WINDING UNLIT ROADS AND ICY PATCHES. WHEN THE HEADLAMP BLOWS IT CREATES A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE ONE LIGHT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAFELY AVOID THE NUMEROUS HAZARDS I FACE ON A DAILY BASIS. I RETURN HOME FROM WORK AFTER DARK AND AM NEVER SURE IF MY LIGHTS WILL MAKE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMMUTE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM 2006 HONDA CRV OWNERS AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. *JS

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED FROM HONDA A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE MY FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I TOOK IT TO AUTO NATION HONDA MIAMI LAKES 5925 NW 167 ST MIAMI, FL 33015. MY CAR WAS THERE FOR 6 HOURS, WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WEREN'T AUTHORIZED TO PERFORM THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL PART. I'M SENDING THIS INFORMATION TO LET YOU KNOW IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I CAN'T WASTE MY TIME MISSING WORK TO HAVE THIS FIXED WHEN THE DEALER DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL PART. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IF I HAD TO BUY THIS PIECE THEN THE DEALER WOULD HAVE IT, BUT BECAUSE IT'S FREE THEY DON'T CARE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. I WENT TO HONDA OWNERS' WEBSITE AND PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO HAD REPLACED THE SUN VISORS ON THEIR CARS MORE THAN THREE TIMES. THEY AND I THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE DRIVERS DON'T HAVE PROTECTION FROM SUNLIGHT AND HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHEN THE SUN VISOR IS DOWN. *TR

AIR BAGS
HI, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION ON NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V-351. I LIVING IN LONG ISLAND NEW YORK. I LIVE ON A ISLAND SURROUNDED BY WATER AND IN HIGH HUMID CONDITIONS. IN THE SUMMER HIGH HUMID CONDITIONS EXIST IN ABOUT 4 MONTHS A YEAR HERE ON LONG ISLAND. BUT BECAUSE HONDA DOES NOT LIST MY LOCATION AS PART OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN I AM NOT ENTITLED TO THE TAKATA AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACT HONDA THEY CANNOT CONFIRM IF MY VEHICLE EVEN CONTAINS ONE OF THESE AFFECTED AIR BAGS BUT JUST THAT I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION. I THINK THIS UNFAIR THAT NHTSA IS EVEN ALLOWING HONDA TO MAKE THAT DECISION AND IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK IN ONE OF THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE PRESSURE HONDA TO MAKE THEM REPAIR ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND TO NOT PUT COST ABOVE PEOPLES SAFETY. THEY MADE THE ERROR WITH TAKATA AND WHY SHOULD WE PAY THE PRICE ON SAFETY. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE TWO OF THESE 2006 HONDA CR-V THE ONE THAT I PURCHASED AND REGISTERED IN FLORIDA WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY THE CROWN HONDA CO. PINELLAS PARK, FL HOWEVER,THE ONE THAT I PURCHASED AND REGISTERED IN MICHIGAN; AND IS NOW USED IN FLORIDA NINE MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR WAS NOT RECALLED AND THEY COULD NOT SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THE RECALL OF JUST THOSE VEHICLES REGISTERED IN HOT AND HUMID STATES IS LUDICROUS. IT IS USUALLY JUST AS HOT AND HUMID IN MICH. DURING JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST. THERE ARE ALSO MILLIONS OF "SNOWBIRDS" WITH TANACKA AIRBAGS IN FLORIDA 75-80% OF THE YEAR. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. I DONT WANT TO DRIVE IT IN FLORIDA UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS VERY DARK IN FRONT OF MY CAR. IT TURNED OUT BOTH OF MY LOWBEAMS HAD FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. THANK GOODNESS MY HIGHBEAMS KEPT WORKING, ALTHOUGH THAT MEANT SHINING A LIGHT IN ONCOMING DRIVERS' EYES. I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST AN ODD PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO ME, BUT AFTER READING OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES, I KNOW IT WAS PART OF A LARGER PROBLEM HONDA HAS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. YOU CANNOT BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVE BOTH OF YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY 2006 CRV IN 2010. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES. I DO NOT HAVE EXACT DATES, NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL JULY 2014 WHEN I HAD MY MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND FOUND THERE TO BE A SHORT IN THE WIRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT ALMOST ONE MILLION CRV'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED SINCE 2002 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE/RESOLUTION CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE EXACT SAME ONE ALL OF THE RECALLED CRV'S HAVE. HONDA WOULD NOT ASSIST ME FURTHER AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE ALREADY HAD BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE DARK ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ALTHOUGH IT IS COMMONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE BULB THAT BURNS OUT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER NOT KNOWING MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AND I AM TOLD THE COST OF THE REPAIR WILL BE OVER $300. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CRV'S WITH THE SAME DEFECT, I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR MY VEHICLE BEFORE I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF LOSING MY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME ON HIGHWAY. NO TIME TO STOP NOR WAS I ABLE TO CHANGE LANES TO AVOID HIM. HIT AT BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEAT BELT ACTUALLY BROKE AND WAS HANGING LOOSE OUT SIDE OF CAR WHEN THEY REMOVED ME. ONLY MY BRACING WITH MY ARMS INTO STEERING WHEEL AND LEGS STOPPED ME FROM GOING THRU THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VSA AND EXCLAMATION LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY RIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND HAS NEVER TURNED OFF. MY MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND CONFIRMED THE ABS MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PART+LABOR = $2400+ (EXCLUDING TAX). CALLED U.S. HONDA MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL PAY 25% FOR THE PART. THAT STILL IS EXPENSIVE. I'M READING OFF ON THE WEB THAT COUNTRIES IN THE UK AND CANADA, THAT HONDA HAS PAID THE PART IN FULL. HERE IN THE U.S. THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT. THIS PART IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. A LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS WHERE IT SNOWS. IF THERE'S SAND, THE CAR WILL BE STUCK. ANOTHER MECHANIC SAID THERE COULD BE A SHORT. HONDA MANUFACTURER NEVER ADVISED ME OF THIS OR IF IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE OR SHOULD BE REPLACED RIGHT AWAY. COMING FROM FAMILY WHO BUYS MOSTLY HONDA'S, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. I WAS LOOKING AT A ODYSSEY, BUT SAW IT HAD A HUGE VSA ISSUE AS WELL. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BECAUSE A FEW TIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT TURNS ON ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED ON. HAVE NEVER USED CRUISE CONTROL. NEVER DRIVEN IN BAD WEATHER AND AVOID HEAVY RAIN. DRIVEN ONLY FEW TIMES PER WEEK AND CAREFULLY IN MOSTLY LOCAL SHORT DISTANCES. *JS

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUN VISOR FAILURE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL NO LONGER FOLD UP OR FOLD AWAY. THIS CAUSES A VISUAL HAZARD AND SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS AFFECTED EVERY CR-V AND ACCORDS EVENTUALLY. TIMING SEEMS TO DEPEND ON THE # OF TIMES THE VISOR IS FLIPPED, & THATS WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOTED LESS OFTEN (FLIPPED LESS FREQUENTLY). THERE ARE MANY ONLINE VIDEO FIXES (YOUTUBE), BUT AS THERE ARE MANY ONLINE BLOGS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM & IS CLEARLY A VISUAL HAZARD I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA & NTSB. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH LOW HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT SAME TIME. THE DAY BEFORE THEY WORKED. USUALLY ONE GOES AT A TIME BUT THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TWICE A YEAR. SHOULD IT? I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BULBS SO MUCH. AND NOW BOTH! SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT HONDA ISSUE A RECALL AND SEE IF MY2006 IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER RECALLED MODEL YEARS. *JS
