EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS KEEP BURNING OUT PREMATURELY. OEM HALOGEN HEADLAMPS LASTED ABOUT 4-5 YEARS BEFORE HAVING TO REPLACE. NOW I AM LUCKY TO GO 6 MONTHS WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE A HEADLAMP, PARTICULARLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AM USING SYLVANIA SILVERSTAR H1ST REPLACEMENTS. NO OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SEE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER CR-V OWNERS ONLINE WITH VARIOUS BULB BRANDS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
SUBJECT: WINDOW GOES OFF TRACK & MALFUNCTION EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE POWER WINDOW SWITCH & REGULATOR. FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR SO I'VE RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW MASTER POWER SWITCH & REGULATOR. THEN, I THOUGHT IT IS CAUSED BY WEAR & TEAR. THEREFORE, I REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS THINKING THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED: ON JANUARY 28, 2011, THE REGULATOR FOR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS REPLACED BY BRAND NEW PART. ON APRIL 16,11 BOUGHT BRAND NEW WINDOW MASTER POWER SWITCH & REPLACED THE OLD ONE A WEEK LATER. UP UNTIL YESTERDAY (09/30/11), THE DRIVER'S SIDE & THE TWO BACK WINDOWS WERE WORKING PROPERLY. BUT, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW IS STILL NOT WORKING. YESTERDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, AROUND 3.00 P. M., I PRESSED THE POWER SWITCH TO OPEN THE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, THEN I HEARD UNUSUAL SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW WENT OFF TRACK. SINCE THEN EVERY THE WINDOW IS OFF TRACK.. THEN, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BY MANY PEOPLE. RIGHT NOW, TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME I'VE TO PAY FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM. BUT, I DISAGREE & I FEEL YOUR OFFICE SHOULD IMPOSE FOR RECALL & HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR ME. BELOW ARE SOME WEBSITES THAT I FOUND ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER: (1). KOLOTV.COM HONDA RECALLING CARS OVER WINDOW PROBLEM HONDA IS RECALLING NEARLY 650,000 CARS AROUND THE WORLD, BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD IN A POWER WINDOW SWITCH.

ON WED. SEPT. 7, 2011, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2003 HONDA CRV GOT STUCK. I TRIED TO BRAKE AT THE STOPLIGHT, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE. I HAD TO GO INTO SURVIVAL MODE, TRIED SHIFTING THE GEARS, AND SOMEHOW GOT THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. IT SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH. I WAS ALSO STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SO I HAD THE FEAR THAT SOMEONE MIGHT HIT MY VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AAA AND HAD THEM SEND A POLICE OFFICER FOR SAFETY REASONS. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BESIDES BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS REPAIR COST ME APROX. $1,196.53. I HAVE TO SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH IT''S BEEN REPLACED, I AM VERY LEERY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR ORIGINALLY, SAY THAT THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION SHOULD NOT OCCUR. ABOUT TWO YEARS OR SO AGO, THE DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT ON THIS CAR AS WELL. IT HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND HONDA PAID FOR HALF OF THAT REPAIR, AFTER I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS ALSO A PART THAT SHOULDN''T HAVE HAD TO BE REPAIRED. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATION AND I WAS TOLD THAT, "HONDA WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH THIS PROBLEM."

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH LOW BEAM FRONT HEADLIGHTS HAD BEEN WORKING THE PREVIOUS NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY OF THE 17TH (PA HAS A LOT OF WORK ZONES AND REQUIRES HEADLIGHTS TO BE ON). DRIVING EAST ON I-76 FROM PITTSBURGH TO BREEZEWOOD, BEGINNING A LITTLE AFTER 6:00 P.M. AND NOT YET DARK, FRONT HEADLIGHTS WERE ON AND WORKING. UNCLEAR WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, SINCE THERE WERE LIT PARTS OF THE ROAD, AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC, BUT BY 7:45 IT WAS CLEAR THE LIGHTS (BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS) WERE OUT. THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED, WHICH I USED INTERMITTENTLY, UNTIL I COULD GET OFF THE TURNPIKE AT MIDWAY SERVICE AREA. CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE AROUND 8:40. VEHICLE WAS TOWED; MECHANIC 'FIXED' BY REPLACING THE BOTH FRONT LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS. BOTH LIGHT BULBS HAD BEEN REPLACED THE PREVIOUS YEAR, SEPARATELY, ABOUT A MONTH APART. *KB

STEERING, TIRES
AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP (OIL CHANGE) I WENT TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED. ON THE DRIVE HOME THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT VERY HARD AND I HAD TO FIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE STORE AND TOOK THE CAR BACK THE NEXT DAY. AFTER NUMEROUS TIRE ROTATIONS NOTHING FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR WAS NOW STRAYING TO THE LEFT, IF I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN, ON TOP OF PULLING TO THE RIGHT, IF I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN. NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR THE TIRE STORE HAD EVER EXPERIENCED THIS, NOR DID THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEN I HAD THE MECHANIC, FROM THE DEALERSHIP, DRIVE THE CAR AND HE BLAMED IT ON THE TIRE PRESSURE BEING OFF 5 POUNDS IN THE FRONT VS THE REAR. HOWEVER, HE HAD THE CAR IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR 20-25 MINUTES AND I DID NOT SEE WHAT WAS DONE TO THE CAR. THEN HE EXPLANED IT WAS ALL FIXED, IT SHOULD DRIVE NORMALLY AND THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS THE PROBLEM. THE TIRES ARE NOT WEARING EVENLY AND I AM ON MY SECOND SET. I ROTATE/BALANCE THEM WHEN REQUIRED AND KEEP ALL RECEIPTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK IN THE FRONT CRANK SEAL WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. MY CONCERN IS THE WITH THE STEERING PULLING SO HARD TO THE RIGHT AND AT ISSUE IS SAFETY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT WAS PULLING EITHER DIRECTION AND BLAMING IT ON THE TIRES AND AIR PRESSURE. I DON'T BUY THAT AT ALL. NOW IT DRIVES STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND DOES NOT PULL. BUT WHAT CAUSED IT TO DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE? WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? IS THERE A HONDA RECALL AND IF NOT WHY? *TT
