NHTSA Complaint #10576909 — 2006 HONDA CR-V

THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2006 HONDA CRV HAVE FAILED/BURNED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES. SEVERAL TIMES, BOTH LOWBEAMS (RIGHT AND LEFT) HAVE FAILED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2008, THE LIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR, EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUNAROUND. THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL OR EVEN INSPECT THE LIGHTS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO HAVE A "DIAGNOSTIC" CONDUCTED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR $120 OUT OF OUR POCKET. HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE RELATED TO THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THE 2003 AND 2004 CRV MODELS. THE SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING WITH THE 2006 MODEL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, YET HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND A POTENTIAL CLASS ACTION. HONDA SHOULD BE PROACTIVE AND OFFER A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THE HEADLIGHT FAILURES. PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009. *TR
