general problems of the 2005 Honda CR-V

The running lights & low beam lights fail repeatedly. Running, standing or start up; it doesn't matter. The bulbs burn out. Both lights use the same halogen bulb. This is the same problem covered in your Honda Cr-v recall # 12v13600 (Honda # s34) affecting the 2002,'03 and 2004 model years. Model years 2005 and possibly beyond should have been included.

Was driving the vehicle at night and both low beam head lights went out and remained out. Had to stop to prevent crash. Driver could not see. Very dangerous! high beams working but did not realize until later. Read that this is a problem with many Hondas and a TSB issued for other models, but not this one. This model and year needs a TSB as well. Read that others with this model and year have had same problem but there is no TSB for it.

Air bag light come on/off at will, dash light stop working, and the gages stop/glitch at will when it is eather hot/cold/normal out side. And this all happened stationary, in motion, on a city street, or a highway, turning, braking, etc. And it is a problem that created the unsafe condition. And I am a mechanic and I am most certain it could be a computer are wiring factory defect for any more question? u may call jeremy thacker at 419-731-3754 or e-mail at jrmythacker31@gmail. Com or mailling to address to 19944 state highway 37 upper sandusky, ohio 43351.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the head lamps failed without warning. The contact replaced the head lamps; however, the failure occurred approximately one week later. The contact found a recall related to the failure that stated that the wiring harness, located in the steering wheel malfunctioned, and needed to be replaced. The VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The NHTSA campaign number was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.

Tl - the contact owns a 2005 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the head lights malfunctioned and dimmed without any warnings. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 115,795. Pm.

After about 10 minutes of driving at night the low beam head lights start to pulse or flicker (2 to 3 times a second) continuously for the remainder of the trip. Have to replace low beam bulbs every 3 to 5 months. Both low beam lights inadvertently turn off and on for a few seconds buy themselves. High beam lights seam to work fine. The above issues I listed are the same or similar to those in the Honda service bulletin 12-023 that covers a recall for the 2002-04 crv. I believe that this recall should be amended to cover the 2005 Honda crv before someone is injured or killed due to this ongoing safety failure. Honda America told me that they were not aware of this problem. They said to take the crv to an authorized dealer to evaluate the defect but would not address my issues under the recall unless the NHTSA mandates an amendment to the recall to include the 2005 Honda crv. I respectfully request that you address this concern immediately so that I and other 2005 Honda crv owners can resolve these safety flaws.

On 5 occasions in the past 3 years the drivers side head light went out. Fuse was good.

Low beam headlamps continue to fail, need to keep replacing bulbs now only one works. This is a known issue w Hondas for which a massive recall was issued in 2012 for over 800,000 cars. I called Honda who looked up my VIN and even though it is a known issue they refused to do anything because my VIN did not appear on their list.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the low beam head lamps failed several times and had been replaced by the vehicle owner and the dealer more than once but the failure continued to happen with no warning. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no permanent remedy for the condition. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v136000 (exterior lighting) and 12v136000 (exterior lighting). The vehicle was to be taken back to the dealer for further diagnosis. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. Dyd.

May 14, 2013 low beam driver's side failed. Replaced bulb. June 5, 2013 driver's side low beam bulb failed. Replaced bulb. June 15, driver's side low beam bulb failed. Having home dealer check wiring. Found this is a known problem for the 2005 Cr-v. It's getting expensive - the air conditioner also failed while on vacation, a $3900 fix. Honda needs to man up on this.

This is the 5th low beam replacement I have had to make since owning my car. Once again, this is a common problem in Cr-vs that Honda has refused to acknowledge.

I have had to replace two driver's side low beam lamps and one passenger side low beam lamp in 45 days. This problem is well documented for 2002-2004 Cr-vs, but nothing was done for 2005-2006 vehicles exhibiting the same issue.

My low beam bulbs keep blowing out. Usually one then the other a few weeks later. Just last week both blew out at the same time after I heard a sudden pop when I turned them on.

The low-beam headlamps keep burning out prematurely. Oem halogen headlamps lasted about 4-5 years before having to replace. Now I am lucky to go 6 months without having to replace a headlamp, particularly on the passenger side. Am using sylvania silverstar h1st replacements. No other electrical problems and see this same issue with other Cr-v owners online with various bulb brands. Please investigate.

My front left head lamp bulb has gone out two times in approx 1 year, the 2nd replacment of the front left headlamp bulb was done approx 3 weeks ago, within the last week the right side headlamp has gone out. I don't drive off road in any way, this vehicle is stricktly used for highway communiting. Replacement was done all times by a bonafide mechanic. This appears to be a defect of some type.

I had the drivers side low beam headlamp go out. There is a wire clip that holds the light bulb in. Replaced the light bulb. Ever since then I have to replace the bulb about every 3 months. I tried to get a new wire clip in case the bulb was moving a little and causing the burning out. Was told by the Honda dealership that the clip doesn't exist anymore. No replacement part. I have read many blogs on line about people complaining about the bulbs burning out with very little resolution. Called Honda about problem and I have to send them something in writing so that they can check into it and get back to me. With so many people blogging about this problem. I would surely think that a recall should have been done.

2005 Cr-v: the low beams burn out constantly at an accelerated rate. The two bulbs burn out virtually back-to-back within 10 days of each other. I have been forced to drive with only my brights. I have had several occurrences of this in 150,000 miles of driving. . . Once on vacation, no less. I have spoken to two other owners of same model with same complaint. For the record, I owned a 2002 Cr-v where I rarely replaced any bulbs in 200,000 miles! this is unacceptable and creates a potentially dangerous situation. Obviously, something is wrong with the design - perhaps the designed voltage is greater than the bulbs can accept resulting in frequent bulb failure far above (what I believe) a statistical analysis would deem within an acceptable margin. Please investigate!.

On numerous occasions head light (s) fails. Internet research suggest that this is a common problem on all 2005 Honda crv's. The terminals corrode, arc and lose contact.

2005 Honda crv- I replaced driver side low beam headlamp in 2008. In 40 years of driving, I've never had to replace a headlamp in any car I've owned. (I buy a new car every 10 years, and I've owned Cadillac, Volkswagen, Mazda, and pontiac prior to Honda. ) my Honda also has a burned out dash light and I've replaced the dome light.

I brought my Honda crv in sept. 2005. It worked fine. But since 2008 summer, I often be pulled off by police because the left front light is off. I first thought it was simple, just go to local gas station to change a light bulb. After I changed the left front light 3 times, in Feb 2011 I was pulled off by police again, I realized there is something wrong. I went to Honda, they said it was something computer related wrong. Just for fix this I paid more than $200. And 1 week after, my friend told me my right side front light was off. I had to change it again. Wondering does every crv owner has change his or her front light bulbs as often as me. This is very dangerous! as a driver sometimes you can not know your front light bulb is off right away.

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.

Low beam headlamps continuously burn out. Each lamp burns out after four to five months. I have tried lamps costing from $10 to $25 each from two different manufacturers. No significant difference if operating life.
