THE HEADLIGHTS OF MY 2005 CRV HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES ON EACH SIDE DURING THE LAST YEAR. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT DEFECT BUT IT DOES NOT COVER THE 2005 MODELS. WHEN WILL HONDA ANNOUNCE THE RECALL ON THIS FOR THE 2005 MODEL? I AM CONCERNED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL FAIL AT THE SAME TIME AND I WILL BE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THEN IT WILL BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HONDA CR-V HAS HAD THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THEY USUALLY GO OUT ONE AT A TIME, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND, THEY BOTH WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. HONDA SAYS THIS IS A RECALL FOR 2002 TO 2004 CR-V FOR A WIRING ISSUE ON THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, BUT 2005 IS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE THERE IS DEFECTIVE WIRING IN MY HEADLIGHT SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 CR-V HAVE BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES OVER THE PAST 7 MONTHS. SOMETIMES THE PASSENGER SIDE, SOMETIMES THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND ONE TIME BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT NIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH 2002-2004 CR-V DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS, BUT NOT WITH ANY LATER MODELS YET. I HAVE INFORMED HONDA OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME. *JS

KEEP REPLACING HEADLIGHTS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS! IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND HONDA DOES NOT ADMIT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH 2005 HONDA C-RV. NOW THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL.TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY AND IF I DON'T LIKE THERE ANSWER I WILL GO ELSEWHERE! POSSIBLE LAWSUIT! *JS

I PURCHASED MY 2005 HONDA CRV IN AUGUST, 2005 AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB HAS BURNED OUT MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS DO NOT THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY CONCERN STATING THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS INITIATED BY HONDA ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, THE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, AND THE RPM INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD ARE BURNT OUT COMPLETELY, AND THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE IS ONLY PARTIALLY ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS THE INDICATOR DIALS/SELECTORS THAT CONTROL THE AC/HEATER FAN SPEED, TEMPERATURE, AND POSITION OF THE AIR TO BE DISTRIBUTED. HONDA DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE FUSE RELATED AND THE INDICATOR/SELECTOR DIALS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS AGO. *TR

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
