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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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

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

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.…

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,…

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…
