I purchased a 2006 honda cr-v 2 years ago. My trade in vehicle was a 1997 honda cr-v. Since shortly after purchasing my car, i have had a recurring problem with the headlights blowing out, and sometimes the dome light inside the passenger area of the car. The headlights are blowing out on average, every two months. During the last year or 2 before trading the 1997 cr-v, i had similar problems with the headlights…

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…

I have a 2006 honda crv which has a light that keeps coming on telling me that the rear door is open. It is not. The biggest problem is really a safety and security problem because when this light is on, the car cannot be locked. I have had this problem corrected twice , the last time being nov. 15th 2007. I am ready to take it back because now it comes on and pretty much stays on all the time. *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…

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

Such problem keeps several minutes and automatically goes away. The failure is…

The front acc adaptor in my 2006 cr-v constantly blew fuses. I requested service on my car three times, and all three times the fuses were only replaced. No one seemed to know the cause of the surge. I finally took the car back again in november 2006 and told them to find the problem, not just replace the fuse. The housing of the acc adaptor had faulty connections that caused both contacts to touch and thus blow the…
