2006 Honda CR-V owner complaints

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

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

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

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 differ

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 at your computer. *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

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

Tl* the contact owned a 2006 Honda cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and shut off for approximately one hour when the front driver's door caught on fire. The fire department appeared on the scene to extinguish the fire. The fire department also stated that the fire was due to faulty wiring within the door panel. The contact also stated that prior to the failure, he left the front driver's window down slightly during rainy conditions. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an insurance facility. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 11v456000 (electrical system). The failure and current mileages were 80,000. Updated 12/19/11 *bf.....update 01/20/12 *bf updated 02/

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.

The low-beam headlights on this vehicle do not last, causing me to have to drive a lot of the time with only one low-beam headlight, which is a safety problem. In the five years we have owned this vehicle, I have replaced each of the front low-beams (left and right) at least 10 times each. Honda only has their warranty on their lights, and hasn't tried to do anything further with the vehicle problem to this point. It is an aggravating and frustrating problem, and also a safety hazard. I have seen numerous similar complaints online with this vehicle from this time period, and know of at least one owner of an identical vehicle in our small town who is experiencing similar problems with his low-beam headlights. *tr

When driving the brakes will seize up especially in the winter followed by a grinding sound. It did it twice yesterday(12/19/2020)while driving in the snow and the car will often slide making it difficult to stop. I have complained about this several times before on several occasions and once was told my brake like is probably frozen. The car dealership even took the converter heat shield off as it was dented and they thought that might be the issue. It is a scary situation when your brakes don't work good and you can't stop. I have changed my brakes on several different occasions but it still does it. Lights have been flickering and the car has even shutoff in the middle of parking.

Driver side headlamp suddenly went out. New bulbs only last about a year, as I have replaced this bulb 4 times now
