EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH
UPON LEAVING MY HOUSE LAST EVENING, I NOTICED THAT BOTH OF MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY. I CAME BACK HOME AND INITIALLY CHECKED THE FUSES FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS, FINDING THAT BOTH FUSES WERE IN WORKING ORDER. I THEN REMOVED EACH HEADLIGHT BULB FROM THE CASING TO SEE IF THEY HAD BURNED OUT. BOTH BULBS APPEAR TO BE PERFECTLY FINE WITH THE COIL INSIDE THE BULB BEING UNDAMAGED. I THEN CHECK THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS AND MADE SURE THAT EACH WAS FREE OF ANY MATERIAL THAT MAY INTERRUPT CONNECTION. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A BAD HEADLIGHT SWITCH, WHICH I AM NOW GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $163.00 TO REPLACE. I WILL KEEP THE FAULTY SWITCH SO THAT IF THE NHTSA WOULD LIKE TO INVESTIGATE I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND IF IT LEADS TO A VEHICLE RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR EQUIPMENT FAILURE. *KB

SEATS, SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED MY 2002 HONDA CR-V USED FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE DRIVER SEAT ROCKED BACK AND FORTH FROM THE DATE OF MY PURCHASE IN 2003. A MECHANIC AT THE HONDA DEALER ON A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE SAID THAT IT WAS BROKEN, AND THAT IT WOULD BE A $300 PLUS REPAIR. I HAVEN'T DONE IT, BECAUSE I FIGURED FOR A CAR ONLY HAVING 20,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT WHEN IT WENT THROUGH THE "CERTIFIED" WARRANTY PROGRAM. MY SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SEAT WON'T LOCK, UNLESS I REPEATEDLY PUT THE CLIP IN AND OUT, AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY ENGAGE AFTER 8 TO 10 TRIES. AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IN THE "CERTIFIED" WARRANTY PROGRAM. OF COURSE, NOW IT IS 10 YEARS LATER, AND I ONLY HAVE 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR, AND SINCE THESE THINGS WERE PRESENT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THESE ISSUES SHOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED. IT APPEARS THAT THESE ARE ISSUES THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING AS WELL, SO THAT WOULD SUGGEST MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
REAR DRIVER DOOR NOT LOCKING. WHEN ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED EITHER USING THE REMOTE OR THE MASTER DRIVER DOOR LOCK BUTTON, THE REAR DRIVER DOOR RETURNS TO THE UNLOCKED STATE WITHIN ONE SECOND OF LOCKING. IT CANNOT BE LOCKED MANUALLY AND DOES NOT REMAIN LOCKED IF THE BUTTON IS MANUALLY HELD IN PLACE. I HAVE READ VARIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM BECOMING FAULTY. WHY WON'T HONDA TAKE OWNERSHIP AND DO A RECALL! I AM UNFAIRLY HAVING TO SPEND ALMOST $250 TO GET THE ACTUATOR REPLACED. DOOR LOCKS SHOULD COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY JUST LIKE SEAT BELTS! THIS IS CAUSING A THEFT HAZARD AS WELL AS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY CHILD RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY BEGAN TO FLICKER AND SHUT OFF. THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE HEADLIGHT BRACKET WAS CORRODED; HOWEVER, THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ASSUMPTION WAS THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY, WHEREAS, UPON FURTHER REVIEW, IT APPEARED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURNED OUT INDEPENDENTLY, WELL BEFORE THEIR TIME. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE BURNED OUT AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW THE COMPLAINT. UPDATED 02/10/12

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS LOOSE AND WON'T STAY IN POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT, MY HEAD WILL BE CHOPPED BY THE VISOR. ALL OF THE HONDA FORUMS SHOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2005-2006 CR-V. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IN AUGUST 2011, RIGHT HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT AND TWO WEEKS LATER, LEFT HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT. MID DECEMBER, LEFT BURNED OUT AGAIN AND BY END OF DECEMBER 2011, LEFT BURNED OUT YET AGAIN WITHIN ABOUT TWO WEEKS OF CHANGING IT. IT APPEARS OTHER CR-V OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING FREQUENT BURNOUTS AS WELL. I HAVEN'T PERSONALLY TESTED TO SEE IF IT'S ONLY LOW BEAM VS HIGH BEAM BUT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, WILL DO SO. *TR
