EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMED AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED TO BLINK AND THEN BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. WE HAD TO DRIVE 6 MILES HOME WITH ONLY HIGH BEAMS WORKING. HAD HEAD LIGHTS AND BATTERY REPLACED AND WORKED UNTIL DEC, 14,2014. AGAIN DRIVING AT NIGHT AT 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY THE LIGHTS DIMMED, DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING AND THEN BOTH LOW BEAMS WENT OUT. AGAIN HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS ONLY. AFTER HAVING THE LOW BEAMS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME ALL GAUGES FAILED-GAS GAUGE, ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING ALL GAUGES STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME WHEN HEADLIGHTS BLOW AND FOR OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD AS I NEED TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ HONDA HAS RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS OF THE CRV FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT ON 2005. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START ON THE FIRST COLD DAY OF THE SEASON. WHEN CHECKING THE VOLTAGE ON THE BATTERY, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS CORROSION ON THE POSITIVE CONNECTION. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ORIGINAL CLAMP HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH AN AFTER-MARKET CLAMP. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED CORROSION BACK THROUGH THE CABLE ITSELF WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW CUTTING THE AFFECTED CABLE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO SHORT TO REACH THE BATTERY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB I NOTICED THE ELEMENT WAS NOT BROKEN INSIDE THE BULB. AT THAT POINT I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE BULB FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND PUT IT INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND TOOK THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND PUT IT INTO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. HE DID NOT REPLACE EITHER BULB. THIS APPEARED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE BRIGHT WHEN TURNED ON. ABOUT A MONTH LATER IN THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER, AGAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE, THE BULB WAS IN PERFECT SHAPE BUT NOT SHINING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY THE SAME MEANS AS BEFORE (SWITCHING LIGHT BULBS) OR BY REPLACING THEM WITH NEW BULBS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WHICH IS GOING TO COST $1600. *TR

CIRCA NOVEMBER 2011 THE DRIVER'S DOOR ACTUATOR ON MY 2005 HONDA CR/V FAILED. SUBSEQUENTLY TWO ADDITIONAL DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED. THE DEALER WANTS CIRCA $300 TO REPAIR EACH OF THESE ACTUATORS. I BELIEVE THESE ARE DESIGN FLAWS AND THAT HONDA SHOULD REPAIR/REPLACE THESE ACTUATORS ON AN EXTENDED/GOODWILL WARRANTY BASIS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 HONDA CR-V BURN OUT AFTER AN UNUSUALLY SHORT TIME. OVER MY YEARS OF OWNING THE 2005 HONDA CR-V WHICH I BOUGHT IN 2004, THE LOW BEAM BULBS BURN OUT ANNUALLY. NOW, THE DRIVER SIDE LOW-BEAM BULB. ALL BULBS I HAVE USED AS REPLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN OEM BRAND NAMES: EITHER SYLVANIA OR PHILIPS. HEADLIGHTS ARE CRITICAL FOR NIGHTTIME SAFETY. THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE PROBLEM ON 2005 HONDA CR-V VEHICLES IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE NOW REPLACED BOTH THE HEADLIGHTS ENTIRELY WITH NEW PARTS. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED BOTH THE HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM BULBS A TOTAL OF 17 TIMES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA CR-V'S WITH NO RESOLUTION. HONDA USES A UNIQUE CONNECTION AT THE BULB WHICH I BELIEVE MAY BE THE CULPRIT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO LOCK UNLESS A KEY WAS USED WHICH WOULD ONLY WORK ON THE FRONT DOORS. THE KEY WOULD NO LONGER UNLOCK THE DOORS UNLESS IT WAS MANUALLY. THE REAR BACK DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS JEOPARDIZED THE SAFETY OF MY CAR, AND MYSELF. I WENT TO APPLE TREE HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY DID NOT LET ME KNOW THAT THIS HAD BEEN A RECURRENT PROBLEM ON OTHER CARS. THEY CHARGED ME $587.50 TO REPLACE ALL THE LOCKS. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER A VISIT TO GEORGIA,HE WAS JUST WEST OF TALLAHASSEE WHEN THEE CAR STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS, JUMPING AND BUCKING. HE MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THAT WAS IT NO PULLING NO NOTHING. WE CALLED OUR INSURANCE BECAUSE, BACK IN APRIL WE HAD A ACCIDENT AND THE CAR HAD TO GO BACK INTO THE SHOP SEVERAL FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, EACH TIME MY HUSBAND SAID "THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT ACTING RIGHT, THERE IS SLACK ACTION EVEN ON THE DAY HE LEFT WHICH BELIEVE WAS 29TH OF SEPTEMBER HE STOPPED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HERE IN PENSACOLA AND WAS TOLD "YOU HAVE A LITTLE WATER BUT SHOULD BE OK. WELL BY THE END OF THE WEEK, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THE CAR IS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND UNDRIVABLE. TOWED BACK TO TALLAHASSEE AND FOUND A MOTEL (ONLY ROOM AVAILABLE 200$ A NIGHT. I GOT MY CAR BACK YESTERDAY TO THE TUNE $4607.00 WOW!!!!! IS THERE ANY INFORMATION ON TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS? WE THINK IT WAS CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT OR AT THE LEAST THE ACCIDENT HELPED THE DEMISE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IN YOUR OPINION IS THIS POSSIBLE? STILL VERY HARD TO STEER. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THERE WAS SEVERE PULLING TO THE LEFT, THEY FINALLY FOUND THE FRONT STRUT WAS PULLED OUT OF THE ARMS THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE, JUST LYING ON TOP, I BELIEVE THE FORCE OF THE OTHER CAR HITTING OURS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, AND THE INSURANCE PAID THIS BUT THEY ARE SAYING THE ACCIDENT DID NOT CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR
