WHY HAS **2005** CR-V NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR HEADLIGHT / SAFETY MALFUNCTION? DRIVING IN THE DARK, RAIN, OR HEAVY (MN) SNOW ALL EXTREMELY UNSAFE. HAVE HAD 2005 PASSENGER (RIGHT) SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT REPLACED ~10 TIMES IN 18 MONTHS, DRIVER SIDE ~4 TIMES. PASSENGER-SIDE LOW-BEAM LAST REPLACED TWO WEEKS AGO AND IS ALREADY OUT. MECHANIC(S) FIND NO CAUSE. ***YES, I HAVE SEEN THAT NHTSA DIR EA11012 STATES, "ANALYSIS OF COMPLAINT AND HONDA DATA SHOW THAT A COMPLETE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT FAILURE OCCURS IN MODELS WITH 2-BULB HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS (I.E., A SINGLE BULB ON EACH SIDE FOR HIGH AND LOW BEAM). MODELS WITH 2-BULB SYSTEMS INCLUDE MY 2002-2004 CR-V...MODELS WITH 4-BULB HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS (I.E., TWO BULBS ON EACH SIDE, ONE FOR HIGH AND ONE FOR LOW BEAM) HAVE DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND DO NOT EXPERIENCE THE SAME FAILURE MECHANISM AS THE 2-BULB SYSTEM...HONDA INTRODUCED THE 4-BULB HEADLIGHT SYSTEM IN CR-V IN MY 2005. ***WHATEVER THE MECHANICS OF THE PROBLEM--2-BULB OR 4-BULB SYSTEM--A SIMPLE SEARCH GIVES AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS, IN FACT, A SERIOUS HEADLIGHT AND SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE **2005** CR-V (EMPHASIS ADDED). IT'S A PROBLEM THAT'S AFFECTING A CRITICAL MASS OF DRIVERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED THEM FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE BURNING OUT TOO. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GLOVE BOX LIGHT, THE TEMPERATUE CONTROL, AIR CONDITIONING, RECIRCULATE, ODOMETER LIGHTS. NOW THE RPM LIGHT IS STARTING TO GO. IT IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE TO BE REPLACING ALL THESE LIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE $8.99 EACH AND I PAID $230 TO REPLACE THE DASH LIGHTS. AFTER REPLACEING THE DASH LIGHTS, WHEN I USE THE REMOTE TO UNCLOCK MY CAR, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK THREE TIMES (THEY NEVER DID THAT BEFORE). I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL I HEAR A HIGH PITCH NOISE. I AM WORRIED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHEN THE STORE IS CLOSED AND I CAN'T GET IT FIXED. I MAY GET A TICKET OR GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK IN THE DARK. ALSO WHAT IF BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS. I WORRY THAT MY SPEDOMETER MAY GO I AND I WON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER THAT I THINK THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT THEY INSIST THERE IS NOT. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM. *TR

2005 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING POWER WINDOWS. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ON OCTOBER 19, 2007, HE HEARD A POP, AND THE WINDOW FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE HE WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST $ 498 PLUS $90 TO LOOK AT THE WINDOW AND REPAIR IT. THE CONSUMER THEN WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP, THAT COULD FIX IT FOR LESS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL # 12V486000. *JB

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE FUSES ARE FINE. THIS IS THE SAME FAILURE FOR WHICH HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL, BUT LIMITED IT TO 2002-2004 CR-VS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS FAILURE ON REPAIR FORUMS FOR 2005 YEAR CR-VS, AND A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ALREADY IN THE NHSTB DATABASE AS WELL. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER THE YEAR 2005. *TR

ENGINE
THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE COMPRESSOR BEARINGS FAILING INTERNALLY AND CAUSING A HOLE IN THE CASING. THE ESTIMATE IS $1350.00 TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER, EXPANSION VALVE AND FLUSH THE SYSTEM OF FRAGMENTS THAT MAY HAVE ENTERED THE SYSTEM. AFTER A PHONE CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA I AM TOLD THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE IT'S WARRANTY PERIOD. SINCE THE REPAIRS HAVE ALREADY BEEN STARTED, I AM UNABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. HONDA'S POSITION IS THEY DO NOT HAVE CONTRACTS WITH INDEPENDENT SERVICE PROVIDERS SO THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST ME.THIS 2005 HONDA CRV HAS 90,000 MILES AND JOINS THE RANKS OF OTHER HONDAS WITH SIMILAR UNCOMPENSATED REPAIRS FOR AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH FAILED CAUSING THE PART TO GET VERY HOT, MELT, AND EMIT SMOKE FROM THE SWITCH. THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY STARTED A LARGE FIRE IN THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE SWITCH IS MELTED, IT SHORTS OUT THE CIRCUIT CAUSING THE FUSES TO POP AND THE WINDOW WILL NO LONGER OPERATE. I CONTACTED A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND DISCOVERED THE SAME PART # USED IN THE 2006 MODEL IS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON. I BELIEVE THIS AFFECTS MORE PARTS THAN ARE COVERED BY THE RECALL AS A QUICK LOOK ON THE WEB UNCOVERED SEVERAL MORE CASES FOR 2005 MODELS. *TR
