EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA CRV NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER IN MARYLAND. THE CAR HAD ONLY 3 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER HAVING THE CAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WENT OUT. I HAD IT REPLACED. THREE MONTHS LATER THE BEAM WENT OUT AGAIN AND HAD IT REPLACED BY A FRIEND. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM AT LEAST TEN TIMES OVER THIS TIME FRAME. RECENTLY, (OCT. OF 2011) I TOOK MY CAR TO AAA TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS REPAIRED BECAUSE BOTH LOW BEAMS ON DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT THE SAME DAY AND I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACE ENTIRELY.THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT COST ME $600. I AM TAKING MY CAR BACK TO HONDA TODAY (APRIL 2, 2012) TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM REPLACED AGAIN! I ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE HEADLIGHT BOOTS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 CRV. HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK A BIT MORE CLOSELY INTO THIS MATTER. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS AN ISSUE AND PEOPLE ARE SPENDING LARGE QUANTITIES OF MONEY TO FIX SOMEONE ELSE'S MISTAKE. *TR

VISIBILITY
WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE SUN VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN COMING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, IT FELL OUT OF THE OVERHEAD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR WHILE HOLDING THE VISOR. WITH LUCK, I WAS ON A RURAL ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT UP IN PLACE AND LOCK IT INTO THE CLIP TO HOLD IT. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW ONE. AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS WHEN THEY DIDN'T CALL, I CALLED THEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THE VISOR WAS ON BACKORDER. IT TOOK ABOUT FIVE WEEKS BEFORE THEY GOT THE NEW VISOR. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT FIXED AND AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE NEW PART DIDN'T WORK AND THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY. THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CONTACT HONDA TECHNICAL FOR A RESOLUTION, AND THEY WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER IN ABOUT TWO DAYS. THE NEXT DAY I FOUND OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR WAS DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN THEY DIDN'T CALL, I CALLED THEM AND GOT THE TWO DAY STORY AGAIN. AFTER THE THIRD TIME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER, I CALLED HONDA'S MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REGISTERED A COMPLAINT. I GOT A COMPLAINT NUMBER AND WAS TOLD AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD CONTACT ME. SHE DID, AND WE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT MORNING THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND WANTED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN, AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A LOANER. IT TOOK THEM ABOUT FOUR MORE DAYS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP I DISCUSSED WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO FIX THE VISOR, AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD TO GET EIGHT NEW UNITS BEFORE THEY GOT TWO GOOD ONES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE DRIVER COULD EASILY BECOME DISTRACTED AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT. HONDA MUST REALIZE BY NOW THAT THEIR SUN VISORS ARE A PIECE OF JUNK. I SUSPECTED THAT WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT THE SUN VISORS WERE ON BACK ORDER. YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS GOING TO DRIVE TO WORK THIS MORNING AT 6:30AM AND MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON. MY HIGH BEAMS WORKED FINE BUT MY NORMAL LIGHTS DID NOT. I HAD NOTICED A BURNING ODOR A FEW DAYS PRIOR THROUGH MY VENTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THIS MORNING AND THE HEADLIGHT PROBLEM WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION AND THE WIRES HAD BEEN MELTED THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THANKFULLY I HAD NOT BEEN DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. I HAD TO GET A KIT TO REPLACE THE WIRING. THIS ENDED UP BEING AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS IN HONDA CRV. THREE OF MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED WITHIN 5 YRS, THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, AND NOW ONE OF THE REAR DOORS. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN OFTEN AND HAS UNDER 70,000 MILES ON IT. A FAILURE OF 3 DOORS CAUSES GREAT CONCERN OF QUALITY AND SAFETY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
WHILST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OUT OF NOWHERE THE HOOD FLIPPED UP OVER THE WINDSHIELD AND BLOCKED ALL VIEW. I ALMOST GOT INTO A HUGE ACCIDENT AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN THE LEFT LANE. THE HOOD IS UNFIXABLE, THE ROOF IS DAMAGED WHERE THE HOOD IMPACTED AND THE ELECTRIC ON THE INSIDE SECTION OF THE ROOF NO LONGER WORK. THE HOOD HAD NOT BEEN OPENED FOR A WHILE AND WAS CLOSED CORRECTLY. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME MODEL. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE AND IT ENDED UP COSTING ME $2000 IN REPAIRS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL WHEN HONDA HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM IN NEWER MODELS? THANK YOU *TR
