Tail Light Problems of Honda CR-V

Dealer was unable to hook up wiring harness on tow bar that goes up to the motor home. Consumer feels it's unsafe to drive without tail lights on tow bar. Also, if a vehicle weighs over 1000 pounds, in some states, item that is being towed must have brakes. Brakes were not availble at time of purchase. This vehicle was purchsed with a contract agreement to be able to tow behind a motorhome. The dealer was unable to complete the agreement. Consumer was informed by the dealer that the rear lights were not working as required and the braking system was not wired. The wire system is required to activate when the tow vehicle brakes. The manager told consumer that Honda would not spend any more time or money on a proper installation.

I am not the owner of the crv, I was involved in an accident with one. I am writing to complain about the poor and hazerdous design of the "cpillar mounted rear lights". By most accounts the crv is a great vehicle to own. It is another matter completely if you have the misfortune of following one in traffic, as I did, if you own a car. You see, there are no rear tail lights at the bottom of this vehicle and not even a cyclops light in the center of it. Instead, there is a lovely tire proudly displaying the Honda logo. Their websites even boast about that nice wrap-around look in the back, they just don't tell the consumer that this is an accident waiting to happen with your name on it because they have failed to put in lights on the bottom so lower riding vehicles can see them. In a low car or with a sun visor down, one cannot see any lights at all where one would reasonably expect them to be, instead they are at the top sides of the vehicle on the "older" models. This poor, unconscionable, and hazerdous design in the name of looks must be fixed.

I almost rear ended this car this morning. The brake lights are too high on the vehicle, and there are no brake or turn lights just above the bumper. With the sun visor down, and being able to see only the lower half of the car, the brake lights are not in view. Design flaw!.
