Headlights Turn Off While Driving Problems of Honda CR-V

Low beam headlight switch failed and lost both low beam headlights at exactly same moment. Clearly a safety risk for night driving. I see Honda has recalled this switch in past models. Failure occurred while driving at night.

Headlight recall. I am aware that there have been some headlight recalls on previous year models of Honda crv. I have a 2005. The front headlights burn out and/or fail very frequently. I have owned the crv for maybe 5 years and have had to replace the bulbs 4 to 5 times. Now the right headlamp will not work even with a brand new bulb. This seems to be an electrical problem. The headlights could fail while driving at night. Please look into it. The date entered below is just the most recent failure.

The low beam headlights have failed while the high beams continue to work. This same failure in other Honda models merited a safety recall. Please see Honda service bulletins 12-056 and 04-15. The 2005 Cr-v has the same part, failure, and repair procedure for the light switch wire harness located in the steering column. I feel a safety recall should apply to my vehicle, since it is the same failure, same part to replace and same danger. This is a widely reported issue on the Honda service boards.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Honda crv. The contact stated that the headlights failed, the vehicle low beam and high beam failed to provide the proper light coverage. The contact replaced the low beam and high beam bulbs; however, the failure was not corrected. The contact also stated that the headlights low beam and high beam system was adjusted to the lower position and that adjustment did not correct the lighting failure. The contact stated that the headlight low beam did not provide a wide range lighting, and caused the contact to be unable to see pedestrian at a distance. The contact was only able to see pedestrian at a close distance with the low beam. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 28,000. Li.

Driving down the road, the driver side headlight went out, this is my second replacement in 3 weeks. Don't know if the left one will go out too but I live in a woodsy area and am terrified that as I am driving down the winding road I will be left without lights. I carry a flashlight with me now. It's mandatory. Honda please issue recalls for the faulty headlights.

While driving down the road at 6:30am this morning my low beams headlights went out. Not able to see I pulled over and put my crv in part. I noticed that my light switch was still on but I did not have any lights. I pushed the light control forwards and noticed I did have use of my high beams. Luckily I was driving to work and only had about 5 more mile to go being Saturday on coming traffic was minimal. While at work I had time to research what the problem may possibly be that's when I stumbled upon a few recalls. Need my heads lights I went to autozone and bought a replacement switch but while plugging in the new switch I noticed that one of the connections was burnt. I. E. The recall in ?. I'm concerned that this is going to happen again so I would like to know the steps I need to take so that I can get this properly taken care of. While looking at this recall I found 3 more alarming recalls. Both air bags shooting out metal fragments and a driver side window switch that could possibly catch fire. I'll be parking outside just in case but any advice about how to get this fixed would be great. Being a 14 year old car I feel like I will have troubles with the dealerships I hope that's not the case the crv is in very good condition and I would like to keep it that way.

Low beams went out, then the battery burned up. Replaced bulbs and battery both worked fine for a week then headlights went out both low beams and high. Marker lights are flashing like strobe lights. The brakes are grabbing when you apply them. One side of the rear brakes wear out faster than the other side. The abs and brake light come on until you turn on the fan or lights then they flash on and off.

My headlights have been failing since I bought the vehicle 3 years ago. I've xhanged a multitude of lights, had the combination switch cleaned 3 times and finally put in a new switch, all with no results. So I found a recall ea11012 and Honda says it's not for my VIN number. This has been an ongoing problem for crv's. It happens when driving and is a safety and fire issue.

The passenger side headlight went out in the middle of October. When I went to replace the bulb I noticed the element was not broken inside the bulb. At that point I took it into the dealership. The mechanic took the bulb from the passenger's side headlight and put it into the driver's side headlight and took the driver's side headlight and put it into the passenger's side headlight. He did not replace either bulb. This appeared to fix the problem because both headlights were bright when turned on. About a month later in the middle of November, again the passenger side headlight went out. It was the same problem as before, the bulb was in perfect shape but not shining. I took it back to the dealer again and this time the mechanic was not able to resolve the issue by the same means as before (switching light bulbs) or by replacing them with new bulbs. The dealership told me I need to replace the entire wiring for the passenger side headlight which is going to cost $1600.

The driver side headlight went out for the third time in 12 months. These vehicles need to be recalled and fixed, as the 2004 model was recalled but the 2005 models seem to have the same issue.

I purchased my 2006 crv in 2010. Since that time I have had to replace my driver's side headlight multiple times. I do not have exact dates, not realizing there was a problem until July 2014 when I had my mechanic do a diagnostic check and found there to be a short in the wiring in the steering column. After researching this, I found that almost one million crv's have been recalled since 2002 for the same problem. I spoke to Honda's customer service/resolution center and they informed me that there is no recall on my vehicle specifically although the problem is the exact same one all of the recalled crv's have. Honda would not assist me further and told me that I need to fix this problem out of pocket. I have already had both headlights go out simultaneously while driving to work in the dark almost causing an accident. This happened on two occasions, although it is commonly the drivers side bulb that burns out several times a year. I have been pulled over not knowing my headlight was out. This continues to be a problem and I am told the cost of the repair will be over $300. Based on the number of crv's with the same defect, I feel that Honda should be responsible for this repair and a recall should be issued for my vehicle before I cause an accident as a result of losing my headlights while driving in the dark again. Thank you for your time.

On 5 occasions in the past 3 years the drivers side head light went out. Fuse was good.

Headlight went out again. I have replaced headlights approximately every 3 months in the last 2 years. Appears to be an electrical issue, as reflected in recalls for earlier model crv's. Honda needs to do recall for this for later model crv's.

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

Headlights keep burning out. I have replaced them four times in the past two months. The dashboard lights are burning out too. I had to replace the glove box light, the temperatue control, air conditioning, recirculate, odometer lights. Now the rpm light is starting to go. It is getting very expensive to be replacing all these lights. The headlights are $8. 99 each and I paid $230 to replace the dash lights. After replaceing the dash lights, when I use the remote to unclock my car, all the dash lights blink three times (they never did that before). I also noticed that when I turn on my turn signal I hear a high pitch noise. I am worried that my headlights will go out when the store is closed and I can't get it fixed. I may get a ticket or get into an accident. I drive to and from work in the dark. Also what if both headlights go out at the same time, that could be dangerous. I worry that my spedometer may go I and I won't know how fast I am going. I have told the dealer that I think there is an electrical problem, but they insist there is not. I do not agree with them.

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.

We bought our 2005 Cr-v se in sum 10 and love the vehicle. Since then however, we've had to change headlight bulbs approximately 10 to 12 times. Sometimes a single bulb, sometimes both. . . They simply go out every couple of months. We even had to ride home one night with "high beams" because the both low beams simply failed. The next day we purchased new bulbs, installed them on the Cr-v, and now the low-beams work, but the high beams do not. It's kind of getting old buying new bulbs every few months! my problem/concern is the fact that we have a known recall for a extremely similar issue on 2002 thru 2004 Cr-v models. That recalls summary states: "due to tension from the combination switch wiring harness, wear on the surface of the electrical terminal can occur, yielding copper oxide, which increases electrical resistance. Increased electrical resistance may cause the terminal ends to melt within the wiring harness connector. " the consequence listed on this recall "if the terminal ends melt within the wiring harness connector, the low beam headlights may become inoperative, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. " based on our experience, it seems the recall listed above should be expanded to include the 2005 Cr-v models as well. We've looked at current recalls for our vehicle under the Honda owners site and there are none listed for our VIN. . . ? Honda may want to re-visit this recalls coverage before any other 2005 Cr-v owner's headlights go out in the middle of the night while driving. . . This is a major safety concern!.

The lowbeam headlights on our 2006 Honda crv have failed/burned out numerous times. Several times, both lowbeams (right and left) have failed while we were driving, which is a major safety hazard. Since approximately 2008, the lights have burned out several times a year, every year. We have contacted the Honda dealership as well as the american Honda corporate office and have been given the runaround. They refuse to issue a recall or even inspect the lights. We have been told to have a "diagnostic" conducted by the dealership for $120 out of our pocket. Honda should be responsible since this is clearly an issue related to their faulty product. They issued a recall for this exact issue for the 2003 and 2004 crv models. The same issue is occurring with the 2006 model. There are numerous complaints all over the internet, yet Honda refuses to take care of the problem. This is a serious safety hazard and a potential class action. Honda should be proactive and offer a voluntary recall for those who are affected by the headlight failures. Please file a complaint with american Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a right hand low beam headlight failure. Since this first failure the bulb of this headlight has had to be replaced approximately 10 times, and continuously burns out again. The fuses remain good, the relays remain good. It appears there is a wiring harness problem affecting this year model as a google search reveals hundreds of owners of this vehicle experiencing a same or similar issue. Most reference a heat damaged wiring connector underneath the steering column.

Headlight bulbs fail frequently (anywhere from approximately 3-6 months) for no apparent reason. Usually one side at a time. Normally, replacing the bulb has been an effective (if expensive) solution. However, most recently, replacing the bulb didn't fix the problem. Fuses are all o. K. From several on-line forums, this is a very well documented problem. There is currently an outstanding recall for this problem for model years 2002-2004 (NHTSA campaign number: 12v136000). From my research, this problem seems to be at least as prevalent (if not more so) in the 2005 and 2006 model years. Please expand the recall to include those model years and force Honda to own up to what appears to be a poor design issue. This is a safety issue. I have owned Hondas for over 30 years, and exclusively for the last 9 years. I don't know what my next car will be, except that it won't be a Honda.
