Headlights problems of the 2012 Honda CR-V

Started vehicle while stopped and low beams did not come on and low beam headlights have failed to work properly. Daytime lights and high beams continue to operate.

I. Headlights are terrible. I only drive occasionally at night. The high beam points too high and the low beam too low. I asked rep in service dept. At don jacobs, lexington, ky and he advised the headlights are set at factory. They could not do anything to adjust them. I don't think he even made out a report. But the more I think about it, Honda should have a "fix" for this problem. 2. Battery. Local temps have been -/+ zero outside. My Honda is parked in garage and temps in this cold weather in my garage is 34 degrees, average. . My Honda "groans" when starting, but so far has managed to get started. I have not mentioned this to don jacobs as I didn't think they would do anything about it. They would probably say "it was set at factory".

The head lights are extreamly poor very very poor I could see better with a led flashlight the lights point up at the trees on high and point down on low . . . You can not see anything on high. . I almost hit 2 people walking on the road and also countless deer. . Changing the bulds did not work. . The hole head light assembles need to be redesigned or the lowbeam bypassed so that the low and high are on at the same time. . . I am sure you have had complanes before due to the thousands and thousands of complanes online just google it I did thats how I found out it was just not me when I get arested for hitting someone due to my headlights sucking I will be filing a class a law sue againsted Honda.

The high beams lights in my Honda are a safety hazard, they aren't bright and don't light the road up at all. Its so bad that even if you leave the high beams on the oncoming traffic doesn't even notice they are on. I cant believe Honda would allow something this unsafe to go to the customer. I have brought my vehicle to numerous Honda dealers and they say there is nothing they can do because there isn't any recalls or safety bulletins pertaining to headlights on the 2012 Honda. This needs to come to a head before someone gets seriously hurt by this horrible design. I have seen numerous chat boards online discussing the same issue I am having. Why should we as customers have to suffer from this poor design tactic. Hopefully something can come of this soon.

I would like to lodge a formal complaint in regards to the head lights on the Honda Cr-v. The 2012 and 2013 models both suffer from very dim headlights. While the brightness may be enough to pass ntsb regulations; in practice, they are much more dim than most if not all modern vehicles. I am a member on multiple forums sites and there are a great deal of Cr-v owners that feel the headlights in the Cr-v while adequate; could be much better and add to safety. Many owners have taken to replacing entire headlight assemblies in favor of hid ballasts while others have tested various brands of after-market bulbs. On dark roadways; there is not enough light produced by either the low or high beam to fully illuminate the path in front of the car and the corner lighting is poor at best. I feel that Honda should take ownership and offer it's customers a better lighting option from the factory.

The contact owns 2012 Honda crv. The contact stated that the headlights failed to provide proper illumination coverage. The dealer adjusted the headlights several times however the failure was not corrected. The low beam headlights would not provide coverage overhead or on the sides of the vehicle. The high beam headlight would illuminate much higher than normal. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the headlight failure was not a manufacturing defect. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 7,737 and the current mileage 24,000.
