EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT, BOTH AT SAME TIME. REPLACED WITH NEW BULBS, STILL NO LOW BEAMS. HIGH BEAMS WORK AND FUSES OK (HIGH BEAMS ARE ON SAME FUSE AS LOWS). MEASURED ZERO VOLTAGE AT BULB CONNECTION FOR LOW BEAMS. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN ON THE FORUMS MANY OWNERS OF 2002-2004 EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IT IS RELATED TO WIRING AT THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN CONNECTION OVERHEATING. THE PARTS USED IN THESE VEHICLES ARE THE EXACT PARTS INVOLVED IN A RECALL FOR CIVICS FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. WHY NOT FOR CR-V'S? *TR

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
THERE WAS A GROAN COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN OR TIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED. THE MILEAGE WAS 18769 MILES. THE CAUSE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO CONTAMINATION OF THE FLUID IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE FLUID WAS DRAINED AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCHES WERE BURNISHED. HOWEVER, THE DRAINED FLUID WAS CLEAN. THE FLUID WAS AGAIN REPLACED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A CAR WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE WRONG FLUID WAS INSTALLED AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. I WILL SEEK COMPENSATION FROM HONDA. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DETECTED A BURNING SMELL, SIMILAR TO AN ELECTRICAL SMELL LIKE SOMETHING MELTED. I DID HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ON, BUT IT WAS BRIGHT ENOUGH IN THE MORNING THAT I COULDN'T TELL THAT THEY HAD FAILED. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND LOOKED AROUND THE CABIN, ETC. FOR SMOKE. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING, BUT I TURNED AROUND AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DID DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, ETC AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE OF THE BURNING SMELL OTHER THAN IT WASN'T COMING FROM THE VENTS. I GUESS HE DIDN'T CHECK THE HEADLIGHTS. I AM NOT PLEASED. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS, I LATER DETECTED ON THE EVENING OF FRIDAY, OCT 28, THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I RECENTLY WITHIN TWO WEEKS AGO HAD REPLACED ONE OF THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BULBS THAT HAD BURNT OUT, SO I FIGURED THAT COULDN'T BE THE PROBLEM. I EVENTUALLY CHECKED THE FUSES AND THEY LOOKED FINE. I SWAPPED THEM OUT FOR REPLACEMENT FUSES, BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I WENT ONLINE AND SAW FROM ONLINE DISCUSSIONS THAT THERE IS A HEADLIGHT SWITCH ISSUE THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING AT THIS TIME. THE ISSUE WITH MY 2002 HONDA CRV AND IT'S LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SURELY SEEMS TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM THAT'S BEING INVESTIGATED. I PLAN TO CONTACT THE DEALER ON MONDAY MORNING (OCT 31) TO GET MY ISSUE LOOKED AT, AGAIN. BUT, IT WON'T BE DURING THE NIGHTTIME HOURS OR WHEN IT'S PRECIPITATING, SINCE IT'S ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITHOUT MY LOW BEAMS ON DURING THOSE TIMES. UPDATED 11/17/11 *BF ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE INVOICE, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. UPDATED 11/30/11 *TR

I HAVE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TAKEN BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
