Wiring problems of the 2006 Honda CR-V

Upon stationary ignition, driver's side door started smoking and caught fire, melting the wiring harness, and interior window master switch (and cover) and the window motor. I pushed the car away from the house. We removed the door panel and heard a loud band and flames started pouring out of the door. I took it to martin Honda dealer to be repaired. The charged me 1800. To replace the melted components, although they did not replace the mirror switch, which failed as a result of the fire. I found a recall number 12v-486 dated 10/4/2012. Power window master switch, which describes exactly what happened. I contacted Honda and they opened a case as I am looking for reimbursement t and also to have the additional repair performed. They told me that the recall had been previously performed on this car. And it happened again???? now, I'm afraid to drive it!.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Cr-v. While driving various speeds, the contact smelled smoke emitting from the vehicle. The contact merged the vehicle to the shoulder of the road and exited her children from the vehicle. Suddenly, the cargo area of the vehicle engulfed in flames. A police and fire report were filed and there were no injuries reported. The fire department stated that the failure was related to faulty wiring in the passenger side panel. It was not yet determined if the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 89,000.

2006 Honda crv, great car , passenger side low beam burns out every frequently (5 - 7 weeks) I see many similar complaints on the internet. (wiring harness is mentioned) I believe 2002 crv's are currently under recall for this same issue.

The contact owned a 2006 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and shut off for approximately one hour when the front driver's door caught on fire. The fire department appeared on the scene to extinguish the fire. The fire department also stated that the fire was due to faulty wiring within the door panel. The contact also stated that prior to the failure, he left the front driver's window down slightly during rainy conditions. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an insurance facility. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 11v456000 (electrical system). The failure and current mileages were 80,000. The VIN was unavailable. Updated 12/19/11.

On March 16, 2010, the main power window controls (located on drivers door), began having problems. I could no longer close the front right window from this control. I was able to open the front right window and was able to open and close the three remaining power windows. The power window switch on the front passenger door did work (to open and close that window). On March 23, 2010, I turned on the ignition for my crv as I got ready to go to work. I noticed an intense burning smell (of plastic) and was able to trace it to the driver's door within several minutes. I turned off my vehicle and tried to examine the door further. Smoke came out of the openings (like the speaker cover) of the door panel. I noticed that the control switch for the front right window was now sticking. I pulled out the power window fuse from the engine fuse box and took my vehicle to my mechanic. Upon disassembling the front driver side door, the mechanic was able to examine the wiring inside the door and all looked normal (no sign of burns). They took out the main power window control switch and disassembled that and found clear burn marks underneath one switch and on the motherboard attached to it. They will be installing a brand new switch tomorrow that was ordered from Honda. Until the switch is replaced, I do not have control of the power locks from the inside, opening or closing the windows, or adjusting the rear view mirrors. I do have the original switch available for review of the damage. While I did not see flames, I do believe that there was a small fire inside the power window switch and had the car run any longer, the smoke and fire would have spread and could have led to more serious consequences if I had been driving (and not parked) when this occurred.

I own a 2006 Honda Cr-v (bought in 2009). I am constantly having to change the headlamp bulbs as they simultaneously burn out. Now I am plagued with my console lights burning out. . . I have read that there are many issues with owners of Honda Cr-v involving the wiring harness. I have an appt. This afternoon to have yet another service call made on my Honda. . . Honda had a recall previously for the same issues back in 2002-2004 Cr-v and obviously the situation has carried over into the 2005-2006 models. . . Honda needs to do a recall on the 2005, 2006 and any other year models that are having the same issue(s). How do we as consumers go about filing complaints so that Honda is prompted to do a recall? I have always driven Honda vehicles for the most part but am seriously considering a different car in the near future. Kia. . . Toyota. . . . . Ford escape. . . . . I am tired of taking my Cr-v in for headlamp and wiring issues the past 4 years now.
