Headlight Switch problems of the 2006 Honda CR-V

With ever-increasing regularity, one or both low-beam bulbs have been burning out. Have replaced one or both at least 5 times, the last time was both bulbs, after exactly 34 days since purchased new at o'reilly's. Owner has installed bulbs every time. All precautions were taken, including not touching the base with bare skin, or glass - with anything. The last time - 34 days prior to last failure - owner applied terminal grease to bulb terminals, even though there was plenty already in place. Researching the internet, owner noted stories of corrosion or heat damage on terminals of headlight switches of certain Honda models. Owner disassembled his steering column, and found no evidence. Owner also noticed early on (2013) what appeared to be flickering or pulsing of headlights at night. Owner installed permanent digital voltmeter to battery, and noticed no fluctuations in voltage, with a steady voltage of 14. 15v under normal nighttime conditions. The last pair of bulbs to burn out were examined. Owner noted that the coiled portion of the tungsten element was completely intact. The wire just before or just after the coiled portion had been interrupted, and a small ball of molten tungsten was at the end of the severed wire opposite the coil. One bulb had the ball on wire just "upstream", the other bulb had ball on the "downstream" side of element.

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.

Both low beam headlights on car failed at the same time when switched on. Checked fuses and bulbs and they are fine.

2/28/10 driver's side low beam headlight failed. Bulb replaced. A few hours later (fortunately not at the same time) passenger side low beam headlight failed. Bulb replaced. (high beams o. K. ) 12/2011 received police warning when passenger's side low beam headlight failed while driving (high beams okay). Both bulbs replaced. 6/2/12 driver's side low beam failure. Again, both bulbs replaced. 7/18/12 passenger's side low beam failed. I attempted to have both bulbs replaced. Passenger's side low beam was inoperative even with the new bulb. Technician checked the power supply with a volt meter. There was no ground on the passenger's side low beam. Driver's side low beam works (for now), and both high beams. My Cr-v was manufactured in 2005. Perhaps it has the same defective terminals, lighting switches and harnesses as those used in the 2002-04 Cr-v's recalled by Honda March 22, 2012? this makes night driving dangerous.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact was traveling 40 mph when the headlights failed. The contact failure was experienced six times, sporadically. The dealer informed the contact that the bulb was replaced each time the failure recurred. The manufacturer advised that they would look further into the issue but the contact had not received any results. The failure mileage was 40,000. The VIN was not available. Updated 05/17/12 Honda informed the consumer they were not responsible and there were no recalls. The consumer stated the lights continue to blow out. The dealer was unable to find a problem.
