POWERS LOCKS BEGAN TO GET STUCK ON PASSENGER BACK DOOR. THEY WOULD RE-LOCK IMMEDIATELY UPON UNLOCKING. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS. AFTER THAT, THE LOCKS ON ALL DOORS STARTING LOCKING AND UN-LOCKING WHEN DRIVING SLOW, I.E., MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, DRIVING THROUGH DEVELOPMENT, ANOTHER 2-3 MONTHS. IT NOW HAS STOPPED THAT AND MAKES A HORRIBLE LOUD GRINDING SOUND WHEN YOU LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. I AM WORRIED THAT AT SOME THAT THE LOCKS WILL QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY.

MY LOW BEAMHEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING EVERY 3 MONTHS, I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS EACH TIME BUT THEY STILL ONLY LAST 3 MONTHS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE FOR THE 2005 CRV BUT NEITHER YOUR AGENCY OR HONDA HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. APPARENTLY CRV MODELS FROM 2002-2004 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE A RECALL FOR IT . WHY NOT 2005 CRVS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I INCORRECTLY PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE 1. I NOTICED MY MISTAKE AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE. THE CAR'S COMPUTER PUT THE VEHICLE IN FULL THROTTLE. I BRAKED AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RPM GAUGE SHOWED THE CAR TO BE IN FULL THROTTLE. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WAS OK AFTER THIS INCIDENT. I AM 100% SURE THAT THE COMPUTER ON THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME PROBLEMS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IT STARTED ON THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. IT ALWAYS POPPED BACK UNLOCKED. EVERY TIME I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS AFTER BEING STOPPED A LIGHT OR SLOWED DOWN FOR A SPEED BUMP, ETC. THE DOORS ALL TRIED TO RELOCK TO GET THAT ONE DOOR LOCKED, BUT IT WOULD JUST POP BACK OPEN AGAIN. THEN, IN THE LAST MONTH MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. NOW MY LOCKS HAVE GONE HAYWIRE. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF ALL THE DOORS WILL LOCK. WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK THEM THEY AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK IN 2 SECONDS. I HAVE TO ALWAYS KEEP MY KEYS WITH ME FOR FEAR OF THEM GETTING LOCKED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I STUCK A SPARE UNDERNEATH THE CAR BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY MY 1 YR OLD GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH MY KEYS! TODAY MY LOCKS ARE MAKING AN UNEARTHLY GRINDING SOUND EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO LOCK WHICH COULD BE 20 TIMES JUST IN ONE TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE. I REALLY WOULD LIKE THE DEALER TO FIX THEIR OWN MISTAKE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INOPERATIVE. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL IN PLACE DUE TO A KNOWN WIRING ISSUE. HOWEVER, CAUSE OF FAILURE IS CONCURRENT BURNOUT OF LOW BEAM FILAMENTS IN BOTH BULBS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY UNLESS THERE IS A VOLTAGE SURGE OF SOME SORT. UNKNOWN WHETHER THIS IS RELATED TO THE WIRING RECALL, AS THE DESCRIBED FAILURE MODE IN THE CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN WOULD RENDER THE CIRCUIT OPEN AND NOT SUBJECT FILAMENTS TO OVERVOLTAGE. POSSIBILITY OF A SECOND CAUSE OF HEADLIGHT FAILURE IN THIS MODEL. *TR

AMBLER PA, PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BLOWN OUT THREE TIMES IN 11 MONTHS. FEB 2012, JANUARY 2013 AND LAST NIGHT 02/02/13 DURING A SNOW STORM. DRIVER SIDE HAS BLOWN OUT ONCE IN THE PAST YEAR. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2006 HONDA CR-V, A RECALL IS PROBABLY AN APPROPRIATE ACTION. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON MY 2003 HONDA AT AROUND 66,000 MILES THE AIR CONDITIONING QUIT WORKING. ALTHOUGH I HARDLY USE A/C SINCE I ONLY HAVE A SHORT DRIVE TO WORK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A HONDA DEALER. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE A/C BLEW UP AND WAS CONTAMINATED THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE EVERYTHING INCLUDING LINES. ALTHOUGH THEY CLAIM THIS HAPPENS, IM CONCERNED SINCE THE A/C WAS RARELY USED. CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE A/C. IVE OWNED OTHER VEHICLES WITH ONLY HAVING TO DO REGULAR MAINTENACE ON THE A/C WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS REPAIR COSTED 2,611.70. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRENTY WHICH DID NOT HELP MUCH EITHER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD OR READ OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C IN HONDAS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS LOW BEAM BULBS ON OUR 2006 HONDA CR-V. I REPLACED THE LEFT ONE THIS PAST WEEK END. THE BULB I REMOVED TESTED FINE, BUT I PUT A NEW BULB IN ANYWAY BUT STILL HAD NO LOW BEAM! THEN AFTER CHECKING FUSES WHICH WERE OK, IT WORKED. NOW IT IS OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING HAD TIGHT CONNECTIONS. THE LOW BEAM IS STILL NOT WORKING EVEN WITH THE NEW BULB. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES. I HAD THE RIGHT SIDE GO OUT A MONTH AGO AND REPLACED THAT BULB. THIS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED I AM NOT THE ONLY HONDA CR-V OWNER WITH HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM PROBLEMS. I READ WHERE A RECALL IS COMING FOR MODEL YEARS 2002-2004. I AM ONE OF MANY HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD EXTEND THROUGH THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND CAN'T RECALL A VEHICLE THAT HAS GONE THROUGH SO MANY BULBS. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALER WITH 33,000 MILES ON IT IN APRIL OF 2009. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE! THANK YOU. *TR

MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS BROKEN ON THE DRIVER DOOR. THIS IS A DEFINITE SECURITY PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT TO LOCK MY CAR, THE LOCK ON THE DRIVER DOOR KEPT UNLOCKING. THERE WERE POPPING NOISES WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK & LOCK MY DOOR. ALL OTHER DOORS WORKED, BUT I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR UNLOCKED OVER NIGHT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. WHEN I GOT TO WORK THE NEXT DAY, IT LOCKED AFTER A FEW TRIES BUT MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. *TR
