Please extend nhtsa existing investigation into headlamps on the 2002-2004 models into model year 2005 and forward. We have replaced the low beam headlamp bulbs multiple times in the past year and a half. The most recent bulb replacement burned out within 2 months. We have received a ticket for a headlamp out.

Low beam headlights have been blowing on a regular basis since oct. 2008. They last anywhere from a few weeks to a couple years each. Both sides are affected by this. Have had a local mechanic replace each time. I didn't realize this was a widespread problem with honda until researching it today. Recalls are in place starting with the '06 model. I have seen several comments from other '05 owners with the same…

I have replaced both the high beam and low beam bulbs a total of 17 times. This is a common problem with the honda cr-v's with no resolution. Honda uses a unique connection at the bulb which i believe may be the culprit. *tr

Since 12/9/2007, i have had 22 low beam headlight h1 bulbs burn out. I have read posts by hundreds of other 2005 honda cr-v owners having the same issue with the headlights burning out. I see that honda has issued a recall for the 2002-2004 honda cr-v for this issue, but the 2005 and 2006 models should also be corrected.

Headlight bulbs fail frequently (anywhere from approximately 3-6 months) for no apparent reason. Usually one side at a time. Normally, replacing the bulb has been an effective (if expensive) solution. However, most recently, replacing the bulb didn't fix the problem. Fuses are all o.k. From several on-line forums, this is a very well documented problem. There is currently an outstanding recall for this problem for…

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the driver and passenger side low beam headlights failed to remain illuminated and were replaced four times in one year. In addition, the instrument panel lighting failed to illuminate. As a result, the contact could not view the gauges. An independent mechanic provided replacement parts for the low beam headlights and instrument panel lighting, but the…

Vehicle was being driven at approximately 35 miles per hour during evening in low traffic on [redacted]. The engine stalled abruptly and all warning lights came on and gauge indicators fell to zero. Coincident with the stall, the car lost steering (the steering wheel could be moved no more than 1-2 inches to the left or right, with reference to steering wheel circumference), would not brake (with full weight…

About 2 years ago some of the panel lights went out. Honda told me that it would be expensive to replace only a few of them and if i could manage as it is now, to wait until more lights stop working, then replace them.
