general problems of the 2006 Honda CR-V - part 2

I had a brake light go out on the passenger side of the 2006 Cr-v. I replaced the light bulb, but when you press the brake pedal, if the headlights are on, the break light will not work. I talked with numerous people on the internet and at the auto parts store who have had the exact same problem with the same model of vehicle as mine (cr-v). My Honda master mechanic believes that there should be a recall on this electrical problem because there are so many of these that he has seen and that have been seen by dealerships. Is there a reason why Honda has not recalled the 2006 Honda Cr-v for this electrical problem? I bought 6 different lights, thinking that maybe I just bought a bad light or lights. I also switched the lights with the light that works on the opposite side (driver's side), but it won't work on the passenger side. If people are complaining about this on the internet and everywhere, but not filing a complaint on here, I figured that nothing would happen, so that is why I am sending this information in, in hopes that someone will look into the problem. Thank you very much.

Both low-beam headlights out at the same time. Worked fine in the morning. In the evening went to move car into driveway, and had no low-beams. High-beams and turn indicators worked fine. Checked fuses, checked relays, replaced both headlight bulbs (h1) and headlight switch with oem replacement part from auto zone.

My low-beam headlights have failed at least 4 times in the past year. At one point both headlights were out when I went to start the car in the evening. I've taken the car to a local vendor (not the dealer). Initially, they did some electrical work, stating there was a short in the system, but have since replaced the bulbs 4 times in the past year. Honda informs me that my VIN is not part of their headlight recall.

During heavy rains, water will seep in under the carpets from somewhere forward and lower than the windshield. The water comes from under the dashboard, usually on the passenger side. It does not drip in, but rather soaks up from under the carpet. I personally have seen the water grow up to 2 inches in depth above the carpets. After some internet searching, similar problems were found in earlier models of Cr-v. The issues found stemmed from faulty/old factory seals on items like the firewall and a/c vents. Please contact with more questions if this information is unclear or could be improved.

Both headlights (low beams only) stopped working at same time. We checked fuses and they are fine we replaced a bulb and it still didn't work.

We purchased a Honda Cr-v in 2006. We have had 12 cases of the low beam head light failures. It is very dangerous because it happens at night and we are thankful both headlights have not failed at the same time so far. Our local Honda dealership knows this situation having replaced the blubs and complete harnesses. Nothing has stopped the ongoing problem. There needs to be a recall with a good solution not just replacing the bulbs.

We have a 2006 Honda Cr-v and tonight my wife was driving the car and out of nowhere the power window switch started to smoke and was on fire!!.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when he smelled a burning odor. He attempted to engage the driver side power window switch but the window would not open and sparks were seen coming from the switch. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the driver side power window switch was melted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number: 11v456000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 90,000. The VIN was unavailable. Updated 11/16/11.

2006 Honda Cr-v, VIN: [xxx]. Compressor failed at 74k miles. Interior vents now blow only hot air and the defroster no longer defogs windshield because compressor must work for defroster to work properly. I called american Honda on 7/15/10. I was assigned a case #, and customer service escalated the issue 3 times. They refused to take responsibility for this compressor failure which is common on thousands of Honda crv's from 2002 through 2006 (please see the forums on this issue). In some cases, Honda has paid for the repair; in others, they paid for part of the cost of the repair; but in most, like for me, they refused to own up to this common defect. I wrote to tetsuo iwamura, ceo american Honda, on 7/20. My letter was returned to customer service who again told me Honda would do nothing. I wrote again to the ceo on 7/27, but received no response. I wrote again on 8/17 sending the letter via certified mail. That letter was received 8/19, but to date, there has been no response. Again, this is a common problem on Honda Cr-v's. Compressors should not fail at 74k miles. I never had this problem with any other car I have ever owned. And this is a safety issue because the compressor turns on when the defroster is on. Without a working compressor, the defroster can not defog the windshield, and you can't see where you are going.

While driving my 2006 Honda Cr-v I noticed a very strong burning smell that smelled like an electrical fire. It was very strong and I thought it was coming from the vehicle in front of me. I was at an outlet center in lk george , NY with 4 others in my car. We all were overwhelmed on how strong the odor was. I pulled out of the outlet driveway to get into the road so I could turn into the next outlet entrance. As I turned into the next outlet entrance , my driver's side window went down on its own a few seconds later I noticed smoke coming from the master window control and from my speaker panel below it. I stopped the car and had everyone get out. . 911 was called and a firetruck came. The firemen took the inside panel of my car door off and found there were burned electrical wires that had caused melting within the door. There is no recall on this model Honda. I looked up this problem online and found that the Honda fit was recalled for this very problem in January,2010. The entire window master switch and it's corresponding wires had to be replaced as well as the inside door panel.

1) April 5, 2010: forty-five minutes into the drive, my gas tank (which was half full) dropped below empty in just one second. I could feel the engine shutting down on the highway. I was in the left hand lane driving in heavy traffic. At this point, I knew that I needed to pull over and get help. Unfortunately, the cars behind me were passing me on the right hand side not allowing me to get over. I knew that if someone would not let me over into the right hand lane, I was going to die along with others that would crash into me. Fortunately, god created an opening. At this opening, I merged onto an exit ramp for me to realize I don't have any brakes at all. I went into panic and fight mode. I was an inch away from slamming into a pole and tipping over a little cliff when I slammed the car into park position in order to stop my car. 2) failure: loss of control, engine shutting down, loss of brakes on the highway consequences: almost lost my life and could've easily killed others on the highway this is the first time this particular engine problem occurred, but this is not the first engine problem. 3) car was brought to the closest Honda dealership. Several scans done. They couldn't figure out the problem. 4) towed car from that dealership to my original dealer. This Honda Cr-v bought brand new is currently with my original dealer. They are trying to figure out the defect.

On Monday, January 25, 2010, my 2006 Honda crv was parked in a lot, turned off, for at least 10 min. While I sat in the drivers seat making follow-up sales calls. A white cloud of smoke began to rise from the main power window control switch specifically coming from the rear left button. It smelled like an electrical fire. Within 5 seconds, flames started coming out of the button. Afraid, I grabbed my bottle of water, pouring half of it on the flames. The flames actually stopped, the smoke continued. I poured the rest of the bottle on it and finally the smoke subsided. It was very frightening and late. I went home and told my husband what had happened. He suggested I stop at our nearby service station and ask what they thought. The next day I did just that. Tuesday, January 26 I pulled into that same station, where I have most of my vehicle service work done. They removed the whole control panel to find it had actually melted and burn marks remained on the fabric covering the door. I then headed for the Honda dealership where I had purchased the car. With the control panel in hand, I showed and explained to them the obvious problem. I was then told they had never heard of anything like this and it would only take a day or two for them to replace the switch, which cost me $187. 00. They gave me a free loaner car and sent me on my way. Thursday January 28, I picked up my car, paid the bill and left. As I was driving on Friday, January 29, listening to 1210 radio, where they spoke of the Honda recall of the fit for the exact same problem! I had already called the Honda national number, spoke with a customer service rep. And then had a claim agent return my call. These calls occurred on Tuesday, prior to my arriving at the Honda dealership. His response was the same as the Honda dealer only more rude and defensive. Someone had the first fit which had a window switch fire! perhaps I had the first Honda c-RV which had a window switch fire!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the sun visor would not remain secured in an upright position. The contact did not taken the vehicle to the dealer for inspection but she did purchase a replacement visor and repaired the vehicle herself. The failure later recurred. The manufacturer was notified but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 40,000. Kmj.

Repeated burn out of headlight bulbs. Continuous replacement by owner and by shop. Both sides affected.

Driver side window switch intermittently worked (conveniently working when taken into dealership) during 2-5 years of ownership. Now it has completely stopped working, and window is stuck up.

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 blowing on that vehicle also. I purchased my car from hendricks Honda in charleston, SC. I have most of my service, including oil changes, done at that dealers service department. I have repeatedly asked that they investigate the problem, and have been told repeatedly that there is no electrical problem with the car. I visited superior Honda recently in orangeburg south carolina. The service department manager there told me that in recent months, he was aware of at least one Cr-v owner and several owners of civics who have come back and forth to their dealership because of similar problems with headlights blowing out. Hendricks Honda advised against contacting the corporation and said it would likely refer the matter back to them. I commute to work 120 miles round trip daily. I have been stopped on numerous occasions by police officers and highway patrolmen regarding one of my headlights being out. I now carry copies of the service requests showing that I reported the problem with the headlights during my visits to the dealership. I show these to the office as proof that the problem is recurring and I have been attempting to resolve it. I have been unable to get the service department at the dealership where I purchased the car to take the issue seriously and/or to try to determine the source of the problem. I have check to see if there are any recalls related to this problem, or any service bulletins, and have found none. Post script: there are numerous "incident dates". The one listed is the most recent.

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.

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.

Non-driving failure: at night, when opening car the door, meter needles keep shaking regardless if key is in or out. In-driving failure: for each day first driving, all meter needles suddenly point at 0-position, and brake & maintenance light on and display keeps flashing, regardless if car is moving or at a stop, or fuel tank is full. Such problem keeps several minutes and automatically goes away. The failure is repeated for the first driving of each driving day. Dealer said they do not know the root cause but saw one similar case a few months ago and after replacing the entire meter panel the customer never came back. Dealer mentioned that early build of 2006 Honda Cr-vs have such problem and american Honda already knew the problem. But american Honda claimed to the customer that it does not know such failure. Though not knowing the root cause, american Honda instructed dealer to replace entire meter panel, the car is still in repair as of 6/22/2006. We found odi id #10156440 has similarity.

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 fuses. The manager of the maintenance department gave me a printout explaining that the company had knowledge of the defect since March of 2006 but did not wish to do a recall due to the limited affect the surges had on the operation of the car overall. I personally travel extensively with my job and use my acc adaptor daily. This specific defect caused me to be unable to charge my phone while away from my home on business. The phone died and I was left without a way to contact anyone. It would have been great for Honda to publish this defect in the acc adaptor housing to all owners of 2006 Cr-vs.
