EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND BOTH LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT AND REMAINED OUT. HAD TO STOP TO PREVENT CRASH. DRIVER COULD NOT SEE. VERY DANGEROUS! HIGH BEAMS WORKING BUT DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL LATER. READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY HONDAS AND A TSB ISSUED FOR OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT THIS ONE. THIS MODEL AND YEAR NEEDS A TSB AS WELL. READ THAT OTHERS WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO TSB FOR IT.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. TOLD BY HONDA DEALER THAT THIS IS DUE TO SEATBELT PART THAT IS FAULTY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IS THIS PART OF A RECALL? I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017 AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT RECALLS HAVE BEEN MISSED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I'VE OWN THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE EVER SINCE I OWN THIS VEHICLE. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SEEM TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM) ESPECIALLY THERE IS NO STREET LIGHTS AND ALSO FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS IF I USE THE HIGH BEAM TO DRIVE. THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL - YEARS 2002 ' 2004 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V136000). PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MODEL YEAR 2005 AS WELL BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHT RECALL. I AM AWARE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME HEADLIGHT RECALLS ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS OF HONDA CRV. I HAVE A 2005. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT AND/OR FAIL VERY FREQUENTLY. I HAVE OWNED THE CRV FOR MAYBE 5 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULBS 4 TO 5 TIMES. NOW THE RIGHT HEADLAMP WILL NOT WORK EVEN WITH A BRAND NEW BULB. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHTS COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW IS JUST THE MOST RECENT FAILURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED WHILE THE HIGH BEAMS CONTINUE TO WORK. THIS SAME FAILURE IN OTHER HONDA MODELS MERITED A SAFETY RECALL. PLEASE SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETINS 12-056 AND 04-15. THE 2005 CR-V HAS THE SAME PART, FAILURE, AND REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR THE LIGHT SWITCH WIRE HARNESS LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I FEEL A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, SINCE IT IS THE SAME FAILURE, SAME PART TO REPLACE AND SAME DANGER. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE ON THE HONDA SERVICE BOARDS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EVERY FEW MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2011, AND IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THE ENTIRE TIME. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF HEADLIGHTS ARE USED CONTINUOUSLY OR FOR JUST AN HOUR A DAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE, HAVE HAD MULTIPLE WARNINGS FROM AREA POLICE. SAME THING HAPPENS THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BULB BLOWS. PASSENGER SIDE HAS ONLY NEEDED REPLACED A FEW TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. WHY ISN'T THIS ISSUE ON A RECALL LIKE THE 2002-2004 MODELS, THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT WITH A RECALL..

AIR BAGS, ENGINE
TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY HONDA CRV TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED DUE TO THE RECALL. NOW MY AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM FIX THE ISSUE, BUT THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS UNRELATED. THEY SAID THE COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING UNTIL AFTER I TOOK IT IN. TOO COINCIDENTAL. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IT APEARS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN WHICH HONDA DOES NOT COVER THE COST. PEOPLE ARE PAYING ROUGHLY $1000 TO REPLACE THEIR COMPRESSORS. I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I HOPE I AM NOT DEALING WITH A CORRUPT ORGANIZATION.

INFORMED HONDA SEVERAL TIMES THAT VEHICLE WAS TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AS SALVAGE IN 2014. WITH LAST CONVERSATION, HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT THE DATABASE THAT HONDA UTILIZES FOR TRACKING TAKATA AIRBAGS IS OUT OF DATE ... AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME FOR HONDA TO CEASE SENDING RECALL NOTICES. THIS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN UP TO DATE RECORDS IS COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY HEADLIGHT BULBS BURN-OUT AFTER ONLY 4-6 WEEKS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. THE SHORT-BULB-LIFE EVENT OCCURS ABOUT 70% ON THE DRIVER SIDE, AND ABOUT 30% ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS NO SIGN OF MOISTURE ENTERING THE BULB/LIGHT AREA. THIS IS A CONSTANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME SINCE THE PROBLEM MEANS I AM OFTEN DRIVING WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE-- APPROXIMATELY 12-15 NEW BULBS PER YEAR ! THE BULBS BURN OUT WHEN DRIVING ON ROADS OF ALL TYPES. ON THIS FORM BELOW, WHERE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" IS REQUESTED, I HAVE ENTERED THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE (BULB BURNED OUT AFTER ONLY 5 WEEKS OF LIFE) ALTHOUGH AS STATED ABOVE,THIS EVENT HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS.

SEAT BELTS
I HAD THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG REPLACED UNDER RECALL. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ON PASSENGER AIR BAG AND HAD IT REPLACE. AFTER THAT RECALL, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. HAD HONDA DEALER CHECK IT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S THE DRIVER'S SIDE SENSOR IN THE SEAT BELT CLIP. COST WOULD BE OVER $800.00 TO FIX. IF SRS LIGHT IS ON AIR BAG WON'T DEPLOY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT SINCE THE SRS LIGHT WAS NOT CAUSING A PROBLEM UNTIL THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS REPLACED. CAR HAS ABOUT 82,000 MILES ON IT.
