EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2/28/10 DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED. BULB REPLACED. A FEW HOURS LATER (FORTUNATELY NOT AT THE SAME TIME) PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED. BULB REPLACED. (HIGH BEAMS O.K.) 12/2011 RECEIVED POLICE WARNING WHEN PASSENGER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED WHILE DRIVING (HIGH BEAMS OKAY). BOTH BULBS REPLACED. 6/2/12 DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM FAILURE. AGAIN, BOTH BULBS REPLACED. 7/18/12 PASSENGER'S SIDE LOW BEAM FAILED. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE BOTH BULBS REPLACED. PASSENGER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WAS INOPERATIVE EVEN WITH THE NEW BULB. TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE POWER SUPPLY WITH A VOLT METER. THERE WAS NO GROUND ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE LOW BEAM. DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WORKS (FOR NOW), AND BOTH HIGH BEAMS. MY CR-V WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2005. PERHAPS IT HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE TERMINALS, LIGHTING SWITCHES AND HARNESSES AS THOSE USED IN THE 2002-04 CR-V'S RECALLED BY HONDA MARCH 22, 2012? THIS MAKES NIGHT DRIVING DANGEROUS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
BOTH FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THE HONDA 2006 CRV. IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS AS SUDDENLY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE DARK. THE FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2010 AS THEY SURPRISINGLY ONLY LASTED HALF TO A YEAR. THE LAST TIME ONLY LAST TWO MONTH! WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY OF THIS LIGHT BULB PROBLEMS WITH OUR CIVIC AND ODYSSEY. SOMETHING MIGHT BE WRONG WITH THE HONDA 2006 CRV. *JS

SUSPENSION
STARTING JUNE OF 2012, I START TO NOTICE A VIBRATION WHEN GOING FROM STOP TO GO. SHAKING IS MORE PRONOUNCE WHEN GOING UPHILL. ONCE SPEED REACHES 50MPH, VIBRATION CEASES. LATELY, THE SHAKE IS MORE CONSISTENT. I TRIED TO START TO MOVE SLOWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO DAMPEN VIBRATION, BUT IT IS STILL THERE. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUMS WHERE IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE ANGLE OF THE SHAFT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VIBRATION. MY QUESTION TO THAT IS : HOW COME MY ODYSSEY AND COROLLA DON'T SHAKE AT LOW SPEEDS? NONE OF THE CARS I HAVE EVER DRIVEN HAS THIS SHAKE AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS SHOULD BE LABELED A FAULT THAT HAS TO HAVE A RECALL NOTICE. A BAD DESIGN OF SOME PART IS CAUSING THE VIBRATION. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXCESSIVE BURNOUT OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FOR PAST 2 YEARS. REPLACING BULBS ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER EVERY 3 OR 4 MONTHS. HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY POLICE OFFICERS FOR BURNED OUT HEADLIGHTS. CONTACTED HONDA SERVICE CENTER WHO SAY THEY CANNOT FIX WITHOUT CHARGING UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR EARLIER MODELS AND APPEARS, BASED ON WEBSITES INDICATING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR NATURE, THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED THROUGH 2008 MODELS. LAST WEEK, BOTH BULBS WENT OUT REQUIRING ME TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS AFTER DARK. WE KEEP REPLACING THE BULBS AS WE DO NOT WISH TO INCUR THE EXPENSE OF HAVING DEALER REPAIR WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING. HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER CR-V OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. MY GUESS IS THAT THERE ARE MORE CR-V OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO REPORT THE ISSUE. NOW KEEPING AN INVENTORY OF BULBS ON HAND. *TT

THE LOW BEAMS ON MY HONDA HAVE BEEN REPLACED ABOUT 11 TIMES SINCE LAST SUMMER. IT STARTER WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE- SO NOW, IT GOES PASSENGER, DRIVER, PASSENGER, ETC.
