    I live in a dark mountain resort area in virginia. Although somewhat better in brightly lighted city streets, on darker streets and rural areas, it is almost impossible to see at night when making a turn. Both the high and low beam headlights are substandard and it is really dangerous to drive this car at night. This is not just my "opinion", other people have test driven my car at night and found it to be unsafe.…

    The headlights on full beam are hopelessly inadequate and are a serious danger to drivers who live in rural areas where there are no street lights. The honda dealer tried replacing bulbs but all to no avail and honda denies there is a problem. I have been wrestling with this problem since i purchased the car in february, 2013 from zimbrick honda in madison, wisconsin. The dealer has tried to help but is unable to…

It is sad but…

    The headlights on the 2013 honda crv are grossly inadequate. There is very little light on the road when the lights are on high beam. The light is very narrow and the road edge is poorly illuminated to the point that it is difficult to see our driveway when returning home after dark. My wife is afraid to drive this vehicle after dark. We have never owned a car with such poor headlights. The honda dealership says…
