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

I was driving at about 25mph and both headlights suddenly went out. I had to use my high beams to get home.

Both front low beam headlights suddenly went out while driving the Honda 2006 crv. It was quite dangerous as suddenly could not see anything in the dark. The front low beam headlight bulbs were replaced several times since 2010 as they surprisingly only lasted half to a year. The last time only last two month! we have not experienced any of this light bulb problems with our civic and odyssey. Something might be wrong with the Honda 2006 crv.

Low beam headlights fail every few months, sometimes while driving, necessitating replacement. It is a serious safety hazard. Many people with the 2006 Cr-v have complained about this issue to Honda, the NHTSA and all over the internet. Why hasn't Honda issued a recall? Honda did have a recall for the 2002-2004 Cr-v for the same issue, but not for the later years, saying that the headlight system was different in newer models. Maybe, but clearly the defect/hazard is in the 2006 model as well. I have reported this issue to Honda before and did so again today, and it is american Honda case # n012014-12-2301127. I insisted that they take a hard look at complaints about low beam headlight failure in the 2006 Cr-v that have been filed with Honda and the NHTSA and issue a recall, as they did for the older models.

The vehicle was not repaired. The current and the failure mileage was 60,000. Updated 03/23/12 updated 04/13/12.

Ambler PA, passenger side low beam headlights have blown out three times in 11 months. Feb 2012, January 2013 and last night 02/02/13 during a snow storm. Driver side has blown out once in the past year. This situation is very dangerous. Considering the number of similar complaints with the 2006 Honda Cr-v, a recall is probably an appropriate action.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the low beam headlights failed to operate.

The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. Pam.

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.

Excessive burnouts and shorting of driver's side low beam headlight. Replacing bulbs every six months on my 2006 Honda crv. Occassionally, bulb would work intermittently after replacement. Now, even new bulbs don't work. In last instance, both low beams appear to have burned out at same time (fortunately during daylight hours).

We have changed the headlights on this vehicle numerous times that I have lost count. We have brought the vehicle back to Honda and they can't find anything wrong with it. I find it ironic that there was a recall for headlight problems for the same vehicle but different year and Honda is not taking any blame for this problem because their is no recall for this year. Currently my daughter has this vehicle away at college four hours from home and she has to deal with a car and no headlights !.

Drivers side headlight burns out repeatedly and without warning. Have replaced it 4 times in 2011. Mechanic cannot find anything wrong.

Starting in January of 2011 I have replaced the low-beam headlights numerous times. They are now going out every 4 months. It is getting quite expensive and Honda should take care of this problem for the 2006 Cr-v owners.

Own 2006 Honda crv, had the right headlight go out and now the left headlight is out, replaced the left and still not working, looked on internet and found numerous complaints about the crv headlight problem, called Honda dealer and they did not acknowledge any problems but the complaints on the internet carry out that the crv has a headlight problem, when I bought the new headlight bulb from an independent parts house they said they sell a ton of these and can't figure out why Honda does not offer a solution to minimize this problem.

I purchased a Honda certified used 2006 Cr-v in June 2010. It has been a great vehicle until September 2010. Around labor day weekend, my driver's side low beam headlight went out. So went to wal-mart and bought a new set. Went ahead and replaced both at the same time. Two weeks later, the passenger low beam went out, replaced it. Three week after that, the drivers side went out while driving home from work at night, replaced that one. Three weeks later the passengers side again went out. Replaced it. Now, the first week in December, the driver side was out, again!!! I am very careful to not touch the bulb itself when replacing it. I've also used the dielectric grease to help make a seal on the connector. I believe that there is something else wrong electrically. I am taking my car to get brakes in a couple of weeks, so I will ask them to take a look. Obviously, the problem stems further down to the vehicle itself. At $25/bulb, it's rather expensive.

Sense the fall/winter of 2010 I have change the low beam headlights on my vehicle approximately eight times. Lately the headlights have been going out between three months and the shortest time being 15 minutes.

Excessive burnout of low beam headlights for past 2 years. Replacing bulbs on one side or the other every 3 or 4 months. Have been stopped on numerous occasions by police officers for burned out headlights. Contacted Honda service center who say they cannot fix without charging unless there is a recall. Recall was issued for earlier models and appears, based on websites indicating numerous complaints of similar nature, that the recall should be extended through 2008 models. Last week, both bulbs went out requiring me to drive with high beams after dark. We keep replacing the bulbs as we do not wish to incur the expense of having dealer repair when it appears to be a defect in the manufacturing. Have spoken to other Cr-v owners having similar experience. My guess is that there are more Cr-v owners with this problem but without the knowledge of how to report the issue. Now keeping an inventory of bulbs on hand.

I have experienced multiple headlight failures over the past 2 1/2 years, almost all on the driver's side. I have had it to the dealer multiple times and despite this, the headlights continues to burn out. Last time it was "fixed" it burned out the next day. Last fall, I had both lights burn out which is extremely dangerous. After an on-line search it is clear that this is a pervasive problem which has not been adequately addressed by either the dealer or the ntsb.

Over the past year, I have replaced 4 head light bulbs. Each time my mechanic has stated that the bulb was blown and that it was normal. It cannot be normal wear and tear to have to replace a headlight bulb every 3 or 4 months. I have found other complaints about this same problem but there has been no action taken by the manufacturer.

I own a 2006 Honda Cr-v and the driverside low beam headlight bulb keeps burning out. I didn't do the work myself I had a mechanic do it and he doesn't know what's up.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated the headlight bulbs were continuously burning out and would not last more than two months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was not able to diagnose the failure and stated to continue to replace the bulbs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 56,000.

I have had to replace both driver and passenger side headlights several times since 2010 and once again the passenger bulb went out today. Will have to take into repair shop to see if they can somehow figure it out.

I have replaced numerous low beam bulbs on our 2006 Honda Cr-v. I replaced the left one this past week end. The bulb I removed tested fine, but I put a new bulb in anyway but still had no low beam! then after checking fuses which were ok, it worked. Now it is out again. I checked to make sure everything had tight connections. The low beam is still not working even with the new bulb. This has happened on both the left and right sides. I had the right side go out a month ago and replaced that bulb. This a continuing problem. I decided to do some research and discovered I am not the only Honda Cr-v owner with headlight low beam problems. I read where a recall is coming for model years 2002-2004. I am one of many Honda Cr-v owners who believe the recall should extend through the 2006 model year. I have owned vehicles for over 50 years and can't recall a vehicle that has gone through so many bulbs. We purchased this vehicle from a Honda dealer with 33,000 miles on it in April of 2009. Please investigate this safety issue! thank you.

I have had to replace the headlight bulb as many as 6 times since we bought the car new in 2006. The last time was 11-25-09, during a heavy rainstorm. I also suspect that the daytime running light option is responsible for the short lifespan of the bulbs.

Replacement of head lights on 2006 Honda Cr-v after rain storms. Three headlights in less than a year.

I bought an Honda 2006 Cr-v new in 2006. In oct. 2009 I started experiencing multiple low beam headlight bulb failures. This started after the expiration of the warranty. Since that time I have replaced the left and right bulbs 7 times. This bulb failure is spontanious and when it happens at night while driving, it presents a very dangerous situation. There have been a number of complaints involving Honda Cr-v low beam light bulb failures in the NHTSA data base. This situation is not unique to my vehicle. Honda has refused to recognize this problem and did not supply a solution. I feel a recall would be valid in this situation since driving with one or no headlights presents a safety issue. I have replaced all the bulbs at my own expense.

I decided to write this after searching the web for ideas on what's going on with my crv, this seems to be a very common problem. The headlights keep burning out - it's getting annoying to always be replacing them. I cannot service my own vehicle and always seem to be into our mechanic getting a new bulb replaced for this vehicle. Now my daughter is driving the car and I hate having her come home at night and tell me the bulb has burnt out again (twice in a month as of this week already since December 2012). I'm sure that I've replaced over 12 since owning the vehicle new. Luckily they have never gone out at the same time which would be dangerous.
