2006 HONDA CR-V Electrical System Problems

The Vechile Stability Assist (VSA) light came on and took it too my Honda mechanic and confirmed that the Anti-lock Brake System(ABS) module needs to be replaced and this disabled the VSA. Parts+labor over $2,600+ to fix. Called the Manufacturer (Honda) and told me that I would have too first get it fixed and then submit the bill to them and they may reimburse me some of the cost or nothing. Since the ABS component controls brake and stability this a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall. I looked on the web and in the United Kingdom and Canada that Honda has paid in full. In the US, Honda doesn't consider it a defect and thus won't reimburse the owner's for fixing the vehicle. Once again because this an safety issue I believe that Honda should recall these vehicles and cost should be covered by Honda

About 4 months ago I discovered that the electric operator on the front passenger window no longer worked. I recently had a mechanic try to repair it and he found that the motor worked well. He replaced the switches in both the passenger door and the driver's door but window only goes down and not up. The mechanic checked online and discovered that this vehicle model was recalled in December, 2020, for this problem. When I checked on getting my vehicle repaired through the recall, I discovered that my specific vehicle was not included in the recall. Because I am now aware of the risk of fire, I request that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can have it repaired. Thanks for your consideration of this request.

Driver side power window will not open. Dangerous because if I am pulled over I can not roll down my window to speak with police. I’ve also seen reports of electrical fires associated with this issue. The issue has not been inspected by 3rd parties.

Every few months one of my low beam headlamps goes out, and I replace it to stay in compliance with local traffic laws. Within the last week, both low beam headlights went out, and both sockets show burn damage that is similar to the issue reported in NHTSA recall: 04V086000. I am concerned that even if I replace both the lights and the sockets, there may be something else going on that could cause a fire. I'd like NHTSA to look into this please. Thank you

RE: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V-768. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE WITH A LOCAL HONDA CAR DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS RECALL ON MARCH 2ND 2021. I SHOWED UP TO THE APPT. AND THE CAR DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL WORK. I THEN DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION TO THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY I WAS LET TO COME BY IF THEY WERE NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF ME, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHY I WAS COMING. I LIVE 1 HOUR AND 15 MIN AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALER SHOP. THE HONDA MANAGER, AFTER NOTICING I WAS NOT BUYING THEIR LAME EXCUSES, HE VERY RUDELY AND ABRUPTLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THIS PATHETIC EPISODE HAPPENED IN THE HONDA OF ARECIBO CAR DEALER, IN PUERTO RICO ON MARCH 2ND 2021. THE SAME DAY 3/2/2021 IN THE PM, I CALLED HONDA HOTLINE FOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS...

MY HONDA CRV 2006 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE AND I DO NOT SEE MY VIN NUMBER ON THE RECALL LIST. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SAME PROBLEM SAME RECALL AND NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

DRIVER'S SIDE MASTER SWITCH FOR POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO WATER DAMAGE/LEAKAGE THROUGH THE WINDOW INTO THE DOOR PANEL DUE TO FOGGING AT THE WINDOW CORNER WHEN VEHICLE GETS WET. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THIS THAT WAS FIXED IN 2011 WITH A PREVIOUS OWNER BUT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING ISSUE AND IN LINE WITH CURRENT RECALL P9D. WHEN I SEARCH MY VEHICLE NO ACTIVE RECALLS POP UP BUT I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV WILL NOT OPEN DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR SHORT. THE WINDOW MECHANISIM IS FROZEN AND DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD, AND I AM CONCERNED. I NOTICED THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE AND FOR THE MODEL YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, MY HONDA CRV IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THIS MAKES NO SENSE SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE WITH MY CRV THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED. I SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL/REPAIR, AND I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DOME LIGHT FLICKERED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW SWITCH WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOSPORT HONDA (1201 US-22, BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP, NJ 08807) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE ALSO HAD BRAKE ISSUES AS THEY SEIZED UP AND PIECES OF THE BOTTOM WAS RUSTED.*JB

UPON STATIONARY IGNITION, DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STARTED SMOKING AND CAUGHT FIRE, MELTING THE WIRING HARNESS, AND INTERIOR WINDOW MASTER SWITCH (AND COVER) AND THE WINDOW MOTOR. I PUSHED THE CAR AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. WE REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND HEARD A LOUD BAND AND FLAMES STARTED POURING OUT OF THE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO MARTIN HONDA DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE CHARGED ME 1800. TO REPLACE THE MELTED COMPONENTS, ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE MIRROR SWITCH, WHICH FAILED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE. I FOUND A RECALL NUMBER 12V-486 DATED 10/4/2012. POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH, WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY OPENED A CASE AS I AM LOOKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT T AND ALSO TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL REPAIR PERFORMED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON THIS CAR. AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN???? NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT!

HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT. ON A MONTHLY BASIS WE ARE PAYING TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THEN WE GET STOPPED FOR ONE BEING OUT, TAKE IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THEY ARE WORKING. NOTHING SHORT OF FRUSTRATING. THESE OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN STOPPED. ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE 20 OR SO MONTHS AND APPEARS TO BE COMING MORE FREQUENTLY.

2006 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAILURE OF DOOR MOUNTED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *LD *JS

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FUNCTION... HAVE REPLACED BULB EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT THIS TIME (SINCE FEB. 2019) THERE IS NO RECOVERY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB, SOCKET AND CONNECTOR, CHECKED FUSES...HI BEAM AND PARKING/SIGNAL BULBS ALL FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NO LOW BEAM ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IN THE 2005 MODELS. HONDA, IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS, OF WHICH 2006 IS ONE, HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO OFFER REMEDY . THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH INSTANCES OF THIS UNIQUE HAZARD TO JUSTIFY A RECALL, AND ONE IS LONG OVERDUE.

THE LIGHTING IN THE DASH ARE NOT CLEARLY ON. I HAVE NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS.

CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN PARK OR WHEN MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. CAR ALSO READS SEVERAL CODES RELATING TO VSA, VTEC, ETC HOWEVER WHEN I BRING IT TO GET CHECKED, NEW CODES POP UP RELATING TO SIMILAR ISSUES.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING OVER SIX (6) TIMES IN TWO PLUS (2+) YEARS (CAR PURCHASED USED, 11/2015). SPENT A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS ON REPLACEMENT BULBS; REPLACED THE HOUSING UNIT TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS; FINALLY IN APRIL 2018 WENT TO HALL HONDA (VIRGINIA BEACH, VA) TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THEY JUST SAID THE BULB WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. I DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY AND YESTERDAY (7/20/2018) I NOTICED THAT MY LIGHTS WEREN'T REFLECTING ON THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING. ONCE PARKED, I CHECKED AND LOW BEAMS NOT OPERATIONAL, BUT HIGH BEAMS WORK. THIS MORNING I CALLED HALL HONDA AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO IN TODAY (7/21/2018) AT 1:45 PM. I HAVE PRINTED OUT INFO FROM ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT IT ONLY WENT TO...

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH INTERMITTENTLY WORKED (CONVENIENTLY WORKING WHEN TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP) DURING 2-5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. NOW IT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, AND WINDOW IS STUCK UP.

10-YEAR-OLD HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 60K MILES EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF TWO KEY SENSORS IN JUNE 2016: 1) THE VSA/ABS CONTROL MODULE, AND 2) THE AIR/FUEL RATIO SENSOR. THE FAILURE OF #1 CAUSED THE ABS AND TCS LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO TURN ON; AND THE LOSS OF #2 CAUSED THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TO TURN ON. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE BOTH VIA NON-DEALER MECHANIC WAS $2,425, WHICH OWNER PAID. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL, SO FILING COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT STOPS WORKING HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I OWN A 2006 CRV WITH UNDER 33000 MILES, I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AS I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SO ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY VSA, ABS, ENGINE, TPS (TRIANGLE EXPLANATION POINT SYMBOL) AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND I'M TOLD THE VSA MODULE NEEDS REPLACING! COSTING $2400. WOW! THAT'S EXPENSIVE. I THINK THIS PART SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY! THIS PART IS VITAL AND HOW HAS $2400 BURNING A WHOLE IN THERE POCKET? PLEASE HELP! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE VEHICLE HAD TROUBLE STARTING. UPON INSPECTION, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BEGAN SMOKING. THE CONTACT NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V486000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER INSTALLATION. BUT THEY BLOW OFTEN ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY GO, I IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE STORE TO BUY REPLACEMENTS. JUST THIS EVENING, I HAD A THE RIGHT SIDE GO WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I FEAR THAT BOTH MAY GO AT THE SAME TIME WHEN MY WIFE OR I ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH OUR INFANT IN THE BACKSEAT. THE BULBS HAVE BLOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AS WELL AS WHEN PARKED. SINCE WE ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE IN 2009, I HAVE REPLACED OVER A DOZEN BULBS. I HAVE ONLY RECENTLY STARTED SAVING RECEIPTS TO BETTER TRACK THIS ISSUE.

COMPLAINT MIMICS THE COMPLAINTS HERE IN THE NHTSA, COMPLAINT #'S 10573302, 10576909 AND 10619157 FOR LOW BEAM LAMPS BURNING OUT PREMATURELY SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT AS A USED VEHICLE BACK IN 2008 FROM LARRY MILLER HONDA IN HILLSBORO OREGON MUCH LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CIVIC MODELS FOR STARTERS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY HONDA AMERICA IS NOT RESPONDING, WHAT IS THE NHSTA DOING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN?

I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE SRS SYSTEM WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE HAD TO BE REPLACED, I RECENTLY HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. NOW THE SRS LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND HONDA REFUSES TO REPAIR OR DIAGNOSE WITHOUT ME PAYING $80 TO DIAGNOSE. I'VE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHTS BURNING OUT AT LEAST 6 TIMES A YEAR TO WHICH HONDA COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM.

DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS BURNED OUT 3 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS BURNED OUT TWICE. REPLACED EACH TIME WITHOUT TOUCHING GLASS WITH ANYTHING OR BASE WITH FINGERS. HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS, AND PUT ON LESS THAN 3000 MILES. *TR

RIGHT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT NOT FUNCTIONING. BULB IS OK. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF 2006 CR-V CONTINUES TO FAIL. BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE CONTINUES TO GO OUT MONTHLY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE IS A SOLUTION AND THEY ONLY SUGGEST REPLACING THE BULB AGAIN. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESOLVE. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAIL EVERY FEW MONTHS, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2006 CR-V HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO HONDA, THE NHTSA AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHY HASN'T HONDA ISSUED A RECALL? HONDA DID HAVE A RECALL FOR THE 2002-2004 CR-V FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT FOR THE LATER YEARS, SAYING THAT THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM WAS DIFFERENT IN NEWER MODELS. MAYBE, BUT CLEARLY THE DEFECT/HAZARD IS IN THE 2006 MODEL AS WELL. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO HONDA BEFORE AND DID SO AGAIN TODAY, AND IT IS AMERICAN HONDA CASE # N012014-12-2301127. I INSISTED THAT THEY TAKE A HARD LOOK AT COMPLAINTS ABOUT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE IN THE 2006 CR-V THAT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH HONDA AND THE NHTSA AND ISSUE A RECALL, AS THEY DID FOR THE OLDER MODELS. *TR

2006 HONDA CRV SINCE APRIL 2013 I HAVE GONE THROUGH 17 HEADLIGHT BULBS. THAT IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER HAD TO PUT IN ANY OF MY CARS. IF YOU TYPE IN TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS WITH 2006 HEADLIGHTS YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT YOU AS A COMPANY WOULD WANT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR AT LEAST LOOK AT GETTING A FIX. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY AREA DEALER HE DIDN'T SEEM TO THINK THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE INSTALL THEM THAT KNOW BETTER THAN TO TOUCH THE BULB AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THEY WON'T INSTALL THEM FOR ME ANYMORE. THEY ARE WORRIED THAT IT MAY CAME BACK TO THEM. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL AT LEAST GIVE ME A THOUGHT AS TO LOOK...

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH HEADLIGHTS LIKE CRAZY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. APPROX. EVERY TWO MONTHS EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE GOES WITHOUT WARNING. MOST RECENTLY I DECIDED TO INSTALL HIGHER END BULBS THINKING THAT MAYBE THE LITTLE 8.00 DOLLAR ONES WERE THE PROBLEM. WRONG! I PUT A SET OF 50.00 BULBS IN EACH SIDE AT THE SAME TIME AND LESS THAN A MONTH LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT! I DRIVE ON VERY DARK RURAL ROADS AT NIGHT COMING HOME FROM WORK AND IF BOTH OF THESE LIGHTS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME I COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 CRV IN 2010. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT MULTIPLE TIMES. I DO NOT HAVE EXACT DATES, NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL JULY 2014 WHEN I HAD MY MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND FOUND THERE TO BE A SHORT IN THE WIRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT ALMOST ONE MILLION CRV'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED SINCE 2002 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE/RESOLUTION CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE EXACT SAME ONE ALL OF THE RECALLED CRV'S HAVE. HONDA WOULD NOT ASSIST ME FURTHER AND TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE ALREADY HAD BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE DARK ALMOST CAUSING AN...

THE VSA AND EXCLAMATION LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY RIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND HAS NEVER TURNED OFF. MY MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND CONFIRMED THE ABS MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PART+LABOR = $2400+ (EXCLUDING TAX). CALLED U.S. HONDA MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL PAY 25% FOR THE PART. THAT STILL IS EXPENSIVE. I'M READING OFF ON THE WEB THAT COUNTRIES IN THE UK AND CANADA, THAT HONDA HAS PAID THE PART IN FULL. HERE IN THE U.S. THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT. THIS PART IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. A LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS WHERE IT SNOWS. IF THERE'S SAND, THE CAR WILL BE STUCK. ANOTHER MECHANIC SAID THERE COULD BE A SHORT. HONDA MANUFACTURER NEVER ADVISED ME OF THIS OR IF IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE OR SHOULD BE REPLACED RIGHT AWAY. COMING FROM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT ONLY THE IGNITION KEY BE PLACED ON THE KEY RING WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. UPDATED 08/19/14*LJ

CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AND IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND REFUSED TO STAY RUNNING UNTIL IT SAT OVER NIGHT. NEXT MORNING BLOWBY IS COMING THROUGH DIPSTICK. CAR DID NOT OVER HEAT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BULBS WERE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, IT APPEARS THAT DRIVERS SIDE LIGHT BULBS ARE MUCH DIMMER (ALMOST NOT VISIBLE) IN COMPARISON TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE BULBS. OPERATION OF THE BULB ALSO APPEARS TO BE SPORADIC. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT DUE TO CONCERNS WITH EXTERIOR LIGHTING. *TR

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...

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR NEW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS BURN OUT. A TOTAL OF 25 BULBS HAVE FAILED SINCE 2007. AFTER REVIEWING THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND THIS WEB SITE IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND ADDRESSED BY A RECALL TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THIS WAS DONE ON EARLIER CVR MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED HIS VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING THE MORNING HOUR. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT HIS EXPENSE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE ABS AND VSA LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1400 MILES.

LOW BEAMS KEEP BURNING OUT AFTER 2 TO 4 MONTHS OF USE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAT 3 YEARS. JUST RIDICULOUS. DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACES BULBS AND THE BULBS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT WAY TO QUICKLY. EVEN PURCHASED LONGER LIFE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACED BOTH AT SAME TIME, ONE BULB STILL BURNED OUT WITHIN 3 MONTHS. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WHICH MANY ARE EXPERIENCING ON THEIR 2006 CRV. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CR-V (BOUGHT IN 2009). I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE THE HEADLAMP BULBS AS THEY SIMULTANEOUSLY BURN OUT. NOW I AM PLAGUED WITH MY CONSOLE LIGHTS BURNING OUT...I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH OWNERS OF HONDA CR-V INVOLVING THE WIRING HARNESS. I HAVE AN APPT. THIS AFTERNOON TO HAVE YET ANOTHER SERVICE CALL MADE ON MY HONDA...HONDA HAD A RECALL PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME ISSUES BACK IN 2002-2004 CR-V AND OBVIOUSLY THE SITUATION HAS CARRIED OVER INTO THE 2005-2006 MODELS...HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THE 2005, 2006 AND ANY OTHER YEAR MODELS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE(S). HOW DO WE AS CONSUMERS GO ABOUT FILING COMPLAINTS SO THAT HONDA IS PROMPTED TO DO A RECALL? I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN HONDA VEHICLES FOR THE MOST PART BUT AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A DIFFERENT CAR IN THE NEAR FUTURE. KIA...TOYOTA.....FORD ESCAPE.....I AM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FROM HEARD FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT BEGAN TO EMIT HOT AIR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAD EXPLODED. THE EXPLOSION DESTROYED THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, IN WHICH THE FULL AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND COMPRESSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,979 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED OUR HONDA CRV SINCE EARLY 2006. IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SPECIFICALLY ISSUES WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR SINCE PURCHASING THE CRV. IT IS CLEARLY A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THE HONDA CRV ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET BY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE AND NEEDS TO RECALL THE CRV AND FIX THE ISSUE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. *TR

I HAD A BRAKE LIGHT GO OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE 2006 CR-V. I REPLACED THE LIGHT BULB, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THE BREAK LIGHT WILL NOT WORK. I TALKED WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL OF VEHICLE AS MINE (CR-V). MY HONDA MASTER MECHANIC BELIEVES THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE THAT HE HAS SEEN AND THAT HAVE BEEN SEEN BY DEALERSHIPS. IS THERE A REASON WHY HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED THE 2006 HONDA CR-V FOR THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM? I BOUGHT 6 DIFFERENT LIGHTS, THINKING THAT MAYBE I JUST BOUGHT A BAD LIGHT OR LIGHTS. I ALSO SWITCHED THE LIGHTS WITH THE LIGHT THAT WORKS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE (DRIVER'S SIDE),...

HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3 MONTHS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AS REFLECTED IN RECALLS FOR EARLIER MODEL CRV'S. HONDA NEEDS TO DO RECALL FOR THIS FOR LATER MODEL CRV'S. *TR

REPEATED BURN OUT OF HEADLIGHT BULBS. CONTINUOUS REPLACEMENT BY OWNER AND BY SHOP. BOTH SIDES AFFECTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUFFERED A RIGHT HAND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. SINCE THIS FIRST FAILURE THE BULB OF THIS HEADLIGHT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES, AND CONTINUOUSLY BURNS OUT AGAIN. THE FUSES REMAIN GOOD, THE RELAYS REMAIN GOOD. IT APPEARS THERE IS A WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM AFFECTING THIS YEAR MODEL AS A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCING A SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE. MOST REFERENCE A HEAT DAMAGED WIRING CONNECTOR UNDERNEATH THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT GETS STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, THUS NOT CLOSING THE WINDOW. SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE WINDOW WILL STICK AND NOT DISENGAGE TO ROLL BACK DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO TO HONDA WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. THE ADVISOR DID NOT READ RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD ME THAT THE WINDOW WOULD BE SEALED. TWO HOURS LATER, THE WINDOW WAS STICK STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION NOT FIXED. 12/15/2012, TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK INTO HONDA. I TOLD THE ATTENDANT THAT THE MASTER POWER SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED DUE TO THE RECALL. THE WINDOW IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. THE ADVISOR THEN SAID IT IS A MOTOR PROBLEM, AND DISREGARDED THE RECALL NOTICE. I SAID I WILL CALL AMERICAN HONDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I HAD TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME. *TR
