EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Every few months one of my low beam headlamps goes out, and I replace it to stay in compliance with local traffic laws. Within the last week, both low beam headlights went out, and both sockets show burn damage that is similar to the issue reported in NHTSA recall: 04V086000. I am concerned that even if I replace both the lights and the sockets, there may be something else going on that could cause a fire. I'd like NHTSA to look into this please. Thank you

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Low-beam headlight bulb repeatedly fails in 2006 Honda CR-V, more often on the driver’s side, requiring replacement two to three times per year. This has occurred since the car was purchased in 2011 over ten years ago. Recall is needed for this common problem.

My car gets up to 2500 rpms and the check engine light comes on and the VSA warning light as well. The car jerks hard and the engine stutters and won't hardly go. it's done this to me twice and I had the ecu reset. The diagnostic comes up as the vsa system modulator. I have had my 6 and 9 year old granddaughters in the car with me. If I had been on the interstate in heavy traffic taking them to their doctor appointments, we would have been killed. The third time this thing went out I had to pull into the shoulder of the road to avoid being hit. I believe Honda knows about this problem and they should be made to replace the part for free. This is a major safety hazard and the part runs almost $2000 without the labor. I believe they want to drag their feet and not recall this part because it's so expensive. I don't want to die in my car and I can't afford to buy another one. Thanks.

RE: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V-768. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE WITH A LOCAL HONDA CAR DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS RECALL ON MARCH 2ND 2021. I SHOWED UP TO THE APPT. AND THE CAR DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL WORK. I THEN DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION TO THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY I WAS LET TO COME BY IF THEY WERE NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF ME, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHY I WAS COMING. I LIVE 1 HOUR AND 15 MIN AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALER SHOP. THE HONDA MANAGER, AFTER NOTICING I WAS NOT BUYING THEIR LAME EXCUSES, HE VERY RUDELY AND ABRUPTLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THIS PATHETIC EPISODE HAPPENED IN THE HONDA OF ARECIBO CAR DEALER, IN PUERTO RICO ON MARCH 2ND 2021. THE SAME DAY 3/2/2021 IN THE PM, I CALLED HONDA HOTLINE FOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO REPORT THIS ISSUE WITH THE CAR DEALER, THE DISRESPECTFUL MANNER THE DEALER MANAGER TREATED ME, AND ALSO TO SEEK HELP IN MAKING A NEW APPOINTMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL AT A DIFFERENT CAR DEALER IN PUERTO RICO. A VERY POLITE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ASSURED ME SOMEONE WILL BE CONTACTING ME IN THE FOLLOWING FEW DAYS TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND TO ENSURE THE CAR DEALER WOULD HAVE THE SPARE PARTS READY TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK. TODAY IS MAY 6TH 2021, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM EITHER HONDA OR ANY LOCAL CAR DEALER. CLEARLY HONDA HAS NOT TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY AND HAS ATTEMPT NOTHING TO WORK ON MY RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO OR WHO ELSE TO CALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP MAKING HONDA COMPLETE THIS RECALL WORK IN AN EFFICIENT AND RESPECTFUL MANNER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVER'S SIDE MASTER SWITCH FOR POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO WATER DAMAGE/LEAKAGE THROUGH THE WINDOW INTO THE DOOR PANEL DUE TO FOGGING AT THE WINDOW CORNER WHEN VEHICLE GETS WET. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THIS THAT WAS FIXED IN 2011 WITH A PREVIOUS OWNER BUT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING ISSUE AND IN LINE WITH CURRENT RECALL P9D. WHEN I SEARCH MY VEHICLE NO ACTIVE RECALLS POP UP BUT I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV WILL NOT OPEN DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR SHORT. THE WINDOW MECHANISIM IS FROZEN AND DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD, AND I AM CONCERNED. I NOTICED THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE AND FOR THE MODEL YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, MY HONDA CRV IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THIS MAKES NO SENSE SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE WITH MY CRV THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED. I SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL/REPAIR, AND I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKES WILL SEIZE UP ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING SOUND. IT DID IT TWICE YESTERDAY(12/19/2020)WHILE DRIVING IN THE SNOW AND THE CAR WILL OFTEN SLIDE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ONCE WAS TOLD MY BRAKE LIKE IS PROBABLY FROZEN. THE CAR DEALERSHIP EVEN TOOK THE CONVERTER HEAT SHIELD OFF AS IT WAS DENTED AND THEY THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE. IT IS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN YOUR BRAKES DON'T WORK GOOD AND YOU CAN'T STOP. I HAVE CHANGED MY BRAKES ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BUT IT STILL DOES IT. LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING AND THE CAR HAS EVEN SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKING.

UPON STATIONARY IGNITION, DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STARTED SMOKING AND CAUGHT FIRE, MELTING THE WIRING HARNESS, AND INTERIOR WINDOW MASTER SWITCH (AND COVER) AND THE WINDOW MOTOR. I PUSHED THE CAR AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. WE REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND HEARD A LOUD BAND AND FLAMES STARTED POURING OUT OF THE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO MARTIN HONDA DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE CHARGED ME 1800. TO REPLACE THE MELTED COMPONENTS, ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE MIRROR SWITCH, WHICH FAILED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE. I FOUND A RECALL NUMBER 12V-486 DATED 10/4/2012. POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH, WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY OPENED A CASE AS I AM LOOKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT T AND ALSO TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL REPAIR PERFORMED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON THIS CAR. AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN???? NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PROBLEM: HEADLIGHT BULB BLOWOUT AT ANY TIME; DRIVING OR STATIONARY. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ACCORDING TO HONDA ARE DESIGNED TO RUN OFF THE BATTERY, NOT THE ALTERNATOR. IF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO PUSH THE BATTERY VOLTAGE BACK UP. THIS CAUSES VOLTAGE SPIKES THAT BLOW OUT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. THIS IS DESCRIBED ONLINE AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. FOR EXAMPLE: CR-V176,000 MILES PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FUNCTION... HAVE REPLACED BULB EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT THIS TIME (SINCE FEB. 2019) THERE IS NO RECOVERY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB, SOCKET AND CONNECTOR, CHECKED FUSES...HI BEAM AND PARKING/SIGNAL BULBS ALL FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NO LOW BEAM ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IN THE 2005 MODELS. HONDA, IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS, OF WHICH 2006 IS ONE, HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO OFFER REMEDY. THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH INSTANCES OF THIS UNIQUE HAZARD TO JUSTIFY A RECALL, AND ONE IS LONG OVERDUE.- STOCKTON, CA, USA TAKATA RECALL LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT STOPS WORKING HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS- MERCED, CA, USA CR-V 150,000 MILES HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER INSTALLATION. BUT THEY BLOW OFTEN ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY GO, I IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE STORE TO BUY REPLACEMENTS. JUST THIS EVENING, I HAD A THE RIGHT SIDE GO WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I FEAR THAT BOTH MAY GO AT THE SAME TIME WHEN MY WIFE OR I ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH OUR INFANT IN THE BACKSEAT. THE BULBS HAVE BLOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AS WELL AS WHEN PARKED. SINCE WE ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE IN 2009, I HAVE REPLACED OVER A DOZEN BULBS. I HAVE ONLY RECENTLY STARTED SAVING RECEIPTS TO BETTER TRACK THIS ISSUE.- NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI, USA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT. ON A MONTHLY BASIS WE ARE PAYING TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THEN WE GET STOPPED FOR ONE BEING OUT, TAKE IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THEY ARE WORKING. NOTHING SHORT OF FRUSTRATING. THESE OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN STOPPED. ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE 20 OR SO MONTHS AND APPEARS TO BE COMING MORE FREQUENTLY.

AIR BAGS
I TOOK MY CRV IN FOR SERVICE AT SILKO HONDA IN RAYNHAM, MA. THEY DIAGNOSED A SHORT IN THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THAT AIRBAG WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PART IS ONLY 1 YEAR. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR OF THIS SAFETY SENSITIVE ISSUE AS PART OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH ITS AIRBAGS.
