NHTSA Complaint #10585362 — 2005 HONDA CR-V

AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS START TO PULSE OR FLICKER (2 TO 3 TIMES A SECOND) CONTINUOUSLY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. HAVE TO REPLACE LOW BEAM BULBS EVERY 3 TO 5 MONTHS. BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS INADVERTENTLY TURN OFF AND ON FOR A FEW SECONDS BUY THEMSELVES. HIGH BEAM LIGHTS SEAM TO WORK FINE. THE ABOVE ISSUES I LISTED ARE THE SAME OR SIMILAR TO THOSE IN THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 12-023 THAT COVERS A RECALL FOR THE 2002-04 CRV. I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE AMENDED TO COVER THE 2005 HONDA CRV BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS ONGOING SAFETY FAILURE. HONDA AMERICA TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID TO TAKE THE CRV TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO EVALUATE THE DEFECT BUT WOULD NOT ADDRESS MY ISSUES UNDER THE RECALL UNLESS THE NHTSA MANDATES AN AMENDMENT TO THE RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 2005 HONDA CRV. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU ADDRESS THIS CONCERN IMMEDIATELY SO THAT I AND OTHER 2005 HONDA CRV OWNERS CAN RESOLVE THESE SAFETY FLAWS. *JS
