general problems of the 2006 Honda CR-V - part 1

The vechile stability assist (vsa) light came on and took it too my Honda mechanic and confirmed that the anti-lock brake system(abs) module needs to be replaced and this disabled the vsa. Parts+labor over $2,600+ to fix. Called the manufacturer (Honda) and told me that I would have too first get it fixed and then submit the bill to them and they may reimburse me some of the cost or nothing. Since the abs component controls brake and stability this a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall. I looked on the web and in the united kingdom and canada that Honda has paid in full. In the us, Honda doesn't consider it a defect and thus won't reimburse the owner's for fixing the vehicle. Once again because this an safety issue I believe that Honda should recall these vehicles and cost should be covered by Honda.

Every few months one of my low beam headlamps goes out, and I replace it to stay in compliance with local traffic laws. Within the last week, both low beam headlights went out, and both sockets show burn damage that is similar to the issue reported in NHTSA recall: 04v086000. I am concerned that even if I replace both the lights and the sockets, there may be something else going on that could cause a fire. I'd like NHTSA to look into this please. Thank you.

About 4 months ago I discovered that the electric operator on the front passenger window no longer worked. I recently had a mechanic try to repair it and he found that the motor worked well. He replaced the switches in both the passenger door and the driver's door but window only goes down and not up. The mechanic checked online and discovered that this vehicle model was recalled in December, 2020, for this problem. When I checked on getting my vehicle repaired through the recall, I discovered that my specific vehicle was not included in the recall. Because I am now aware of the risk of fire, I request that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can have it repaired. Thanks for your consideration of this request.

Driver side power window will not open. Dangerous because if I am pulled over I can not roll down my window to speak with police. I’ve also seen reports of electrical fires associated with this issue. The issue has not been inspected by 3rd parties.

Driver's side master switch for power window stopped working. I believe it is due to water damage/leakage through the window into the door panel due to fogging at the window corner when vehicle gets wet. There was a similar recall for this that was fixed in 2011 with a previous owner but seems to be recurring issue and in line with current recall p9d. When I search my vehicle no active recalls pop up but I believe my vehicle should qualify for this recall. This issue is occurring while stopped and while driving.

Nhtsa recall number20v-768. I made an appointment in advance with a local Honda car dealer to take care of this recall on March 2nd 2021. I showed up to the appt. And the car dealer did not have the spare parts available for the recall work. I then demanded an explanation to the Honda service manager as to why I was let to come by if they were not ready to take care of me, they knew exactly why I was coming. I live 1 hour and 15 min away from the nearest dealer shop. The Honda manager, after noticing I was not buying their lame excuses, he very rudely and abruptly asked to leave the property. This pathetic episode happened in the Honda of arecibo car dealer, in puerto rico on March 2nd 2021. The same day 3/2/2021 in the pm, I called Honda hotline for customer relations to report this issue with the car dealer, the disrespectful manner the dealer manager treated me, and also to seek help in making a new appointment to take care of the recall at a different car dealer in puerto rico. A very polite Honda representative assured me someone will be contacting me in the following few days to reschedule an appointment and to ensure the car dealer would have the spare parts ready to complete the recall work. Today is may 6th 2021, and I have not heard from either Honda or any local car dealer. Clearly Honda has not taken this seriously and has attempt nothing to work on my recall. I don't know what else to do or who else to call. Can you please help making Honda complete this recall work in an efficient and respectful manner? thank you for your assistance.

My Honda crv 2006 has the same problem as the recall. The driver side window switch does not operate and I do not see my VIN number on the recall list. I do not understand the same problem same recall and not on the recall list. I understand this is a dangerous situation and may cause a fire. Can you please help me. Thank you in advance.

2006 Honda Cr-v. Consumer writes in regards to failure of door mounted electrical system.

Car begins to accelerate when in park or when my foot is not on the accelerator. Car also reads several codes relating to vsa, vtec, etc however when I bring it to get checked, new codes pop up relating to similar issues.

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 certain model years, of which 2006 is one, has so far refused to offer remedy . There are more than enough instances of this unique hazard to justify a recall, and one is long overdue.

The driver's side window on my 2006 Honda crv will not open due to an electrical issue or short. The window mechanisim is frozen and does not work. This is a potential safety hazard, and I am concerned. I noticed that Honda has issued a recall for this specific issue and for the model year of my vehicle. However, for some reason, my Honda crv is not a part of the recall. This makes no sense since I am experiencing the exact issue with my crv that the recall notice indicated. I should be eligible for this recall/repair, and I would like to request an investigation.

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 on during the day and yesterday (7/20/2018) I noticed that my lights weren't reflecting on the cars in front of me while driving. Once parked, I checked and low beams not operational, but high beams work. This morning I called hall Honda and have an appointment to go in today (7/21/2018) at 1:45 pm. I have printed out info from online complaints about this same issue. There was a recall, but it only went to the car year 2005. This is an obvious safety issue since headlights are needed when driving in rain (it is the law here in va) or when it is dusk/dark. Listing yesterday as the date this happened, although it happened first to me February 2016. I also checked off the electrical and lighting boxes, since I am not qualified to determine what is the cause of this safety issue.

Headlights, brake lights, turn signal lights continue to burn out. On a monthly basis we are paying to have them replaced. Then we get stopped for one being out, take it to our mechanic and they are working. Nothing short of frustrating. These occur when driving and when stopped. All driving situations. This has been going on for the 20 or so months and appears to be coming more frequently.

Takata recall low beam headlight stops working headlight bulbs continue to blow. Then can blow after a couple of months.

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 part is vital and how has $2400 burning a whole in there pocket? please help! this is so frustrating!.

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 is a common failure for this make/model, so filing complaint with NHTSA for the public record.

The lighting in the dash are not clearly on. I have noise coming from the rear when making a right or left turns.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. While the vehicle was idling, the vehicle had trouble starting. Upon inspection, the driver side door began smoking. The contact noticed flames coming from the driver side door. The contact was able to extinguish the flames and disconnect the battery. All the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. Prior to the failure, the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 12v486000 (electrical system, visibility). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. The VIN was not provided.

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 blown while going down the road, as well as when parked. Since we acquired this vehicle in 2009, I have replaced over a dozen bulbs. I have only recently started saving receipts to better track this issue.

The contact owned a 2006 Honda Cr-v. While operating the vehicle, the power steering suddenly malfunctioned and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn before the vehicle shut off. Moments later, the vehicle caught fire and the fire department extinguished the flames. The vehicle was destroyed. The fire department determined that the fire was due to an electrical failure in the vehicle. There were no injuries and a report was not filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 100,000.

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.

Drivers side low beam headlight has burned out 3 times in the past two weeks. Passenger side low beam headlight has burned out twice. Replaced each time without touching glass with anything or base with fingers. Have only owned the car for 3 months, and put on less than than 3000 miles.

Right low beam headlight not functioning. Bulb is ok.

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 rural roads at night coming home from work and if both of these lights fail at the same time I could be seriously hurt.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while parked the instrument panel warning lights independently illuminated. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the brake pressure sensor. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000. Ne.

Car was being driven with cruise control set and it stalled while driving and refused to stay running until it sat over night. Next morning blowby is coming through dipstick. Car did not over heat while driving.

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.

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.

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 contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated his vehicle stalled. The failure occurred during the morning hour. The contact took his vehicle to the dealership and was advised that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at his expense but the problem persisted. The abs and vsa lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1400 miles.

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, that Honda has paid the part in full. Here in the u. S. They don't recognize this as a defect. This part is a huge safety issue. A local mechanic says I should not drive this where it snows. If there's sand, the car will be stuck. Another mechanic said there could be a short. Honda manufacturer never advised me of this or if it's safe to drive or should be replaced right away. Coming from family who buys mostly Honda's, I will not buy another Honda again. I was looking at a odyssey, but saw it had a huge vsa issue as well. Sometimes I wonder if it was an electrical issue because a few times the cruise control light turns on once the car is turned on. Have never used cruise control. Never driven in bad weather and avoid heavy rain. Driven only few times per week and carefully in mostly local short distances.

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 dealer he didn't seem to think that this was a problem. I have had professional people install them that know better than to touch the bulb and they have gotten to the point that they won't install them for me anymore. They are worried that it may came back to them. I really hope that you will at least give me a thought as to look at your computer.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle there was a loud bang from under the hood and the air started running hot. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the compresser had exploded. The explosion destroyed the air conditioning unit and that full unit and compresser would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been replaced. The failure mileage was 101,979 and current mileages were 102,000. Rl.

My wife and I have owned our Honda crv since early 2006. It has had numerous electrical issues, specifically issues with the headlights and interior lights. We have had to replace the headlight bulbs at least once a year since purchasing the crv. It is clearly a major defect with the Honda crv electrical system. I have seen numerous complaints on the internet by others with this same issue. Honda is responsible and needs to recall the crv and fix the issue. I will never purchase another Honda again.

Driver's side window is malfunctioning. It gets stuck in the upright position, thus not closing the window. Several occasions, the window will stick and not disengage to roll back down. The vehicle was taken into to Honda with the recall notice. The advisor did not read recall notice and told me that the window would be sealed. Two hours later, the window was stick stuck in the upright position not fixed. 12/15/2012, took the vehicle back into Honda. I told the attendant that the master power switch needs to be repaired or replaced due to the recall. The window is still malfunctioning. The advisor then said it is a motor problem, and disregarded the recall notice. I said I will call american Honda for more information. The repair has not been made.
