The original battery of my honda crv keeps dying. Local honda dealer did not cover the replacement and i have to pay $200 out of my pocket to replace. Its been only 3 years since i purchased the car and the battery is already draining out. I have been stranded in unsafe places as a result, waiting for roadside assistance to come jumpstart the car. When i took it to the local honda dealer (dublin honda), they said…

The dim lights are not even usable. I drive with the bright lights on. The brights are as bright as the dim lights on every other car i have owned. Honda has no fix. I have been trying since 2014 to have better lights installed. They can't even do this at my expense. This car is unsafe to drive in the dark.

No matter how i shift the headlights of my cr-v, they are either too high or too low in visibility. I don't know if it is possible to find a happy medium where the low beams are just low enough to the road and create a nice field of vision, along with the high beams being low enough to see far and not up in the trees. Why does this car not have two different bulbs for low and high beams? The lighting is unreliable…

The lights on this vehicle are not good. Very hard to see with at night using dims and the bright lights are absolutely worthless. Don't think that it is an adjustment or alignment problem, think it is a engineering problem in the design for the whole lighting housing and use of bulbs. Something really needs to be done to correct this issue! My older 2003 cr-v with hazed over covers did a better job than this newer…

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at night at approximately 20 mph and making a turn, the high beam headlights failed to illuminate adequate side view lighting. The failure also occurred when driving into a curve. In addition, the low beam headlights illuminated inadequate distance of the road. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure…

It was the first time i drove my brand new cr-v at night and the low beam headlights were so low that i couldn't even tell that they were on. It made it very dangerous to drive on suburban streets where there are inadequate street lighting. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. While traveling various speeds in the evening hours, the visibility was extremely low with the use of the low beam and high beam headlights. The contact reported the safety concern to the authorized dealer more than once and they provided no remedy. The contact changed the bulb for the low beam, which failed to increase visibility. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.…

With greater experience with the vehicle since my last report, i am writing to reiterate how extremely deficient the headlights on this vehicle are. In unlit, rural areas, the low beams are inadequate and require the use of fog lights on all the time for increased illumination. When the high-beams are engaged (fog-lights automatically go out), near-field illumination virtually disappears. I have written directly to…

The exterior low beam head lights work normally as expected when switch is in low beam position. The problem is when the high beam lights are selected. The visibility provided by the low beam lights disappears when the high beams are selected. The visibility on the high beam setting is great 300 feet forward of the car but minimal to none 50 feet in front of the car. This is very dangerous when driving on turnpikes…

Want to report the serious and dangerous deficiency in the headlights on our newly purchased '14 honda crv. On low beam, the range of lighting is limited to directly in front of the vehicle with a defined cut-off line. On high beam, it is difficult to almost impossible to see directly in front of the vehicle. We have taken the vehicle back to the dealership where purchased and reported this was dangerous and was…

Greetings - this is to report multiple incidents / a permanent condition of the vehicle headlights being grossly inadequate. The incident indicated here was first of many occurrence while driving on rural roads, especially in inclement weather. Most egregious is that when the high beams are engaged , there is a complete loss of near -field luminance. This is greatly exacerbated in inclement weather and undoubtedly a…

I will always read this sight before buying another car. I have had crv 2014 18 months and began problems after 2 weeks. Tpms light keeps coming on every few weeks. Low beam lights are bad and high beams are ridiculously too far ahead and can't see right in front of you. The head rest leans so far forward its uncomfortable and awkward. My engine makes a terrible grinding sound when starting the car. After reading…

Both the low and high beam headlights on this brand new car are very dim. This is a huge safety issue. The dealer will not fix the problem. They suggested i could put aftermarket replacements on as honda does not have better headlights. *tr

The design is detrimental to a short person's (62 inch & under) safety. The starring does not go down far enough for the driver to see the road. Also the driver seat is tilted away from starring wheel. The headlight beam ends before the driver can see the road. I complained but they did not take any action to even check. If the starring wheel can be pushed further down and the length of the headlight beam could be…
