My low beam headlamps burn out every 5-7 weeks, especially the driver's side. I live in a rural area with constant road hazards such as deer, winding unlit roads and icy patches. When the headlamp blows it creates a huge safety hazard since one light is not enough to safely avoid the numerous hazards I face on a daily basis. I return home from work after dark and am never sure if my lights will make throughout the entire commute. There are thousands of similar complaints from 2006 Honda CRV owners and something has to be done.

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 contact replaced the bulbs on several occasions but the failure persisted. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

I was driving on the highway at night when I noticed it was very dark in front of my car. It turned out both of my lowbeams had failed at the same time. Thank goodness my highbeams kept working, although that meant shining a light in oncoming drivers' eyes. I thought this was just an odd problem that happened to me, but after reading other people's stories, I know it was part of a larger problem Honda has. This is a safety issue. You cannot be driving at night and have both of your headlights go out.

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.

Both low headlights went out at same time. The day before they worked. Usually one goes at a time but that shouldn't happen twice a year. Should it? I have never owned a vehicle where I have to change the bulbs so much. And now both! something is definitely wrong especially when I read so many other owners having the same problem. I respectfully request that Honda issue a recall and see if MY2006 is having same problem as other recalled model years.

Driving vehicle when both low beam lights went out. Bulbs have been replaced multiple times and bulbs were replaced again. Now, it appears that drivers side light bulbs are much dimmer (almost not visible) in comparison to the passengers side bulbs. Operation of the bulb also appears to be sporadic. Vehicle is not drive-able at night due to concerns with exterior lighting.

Headlights have repeatedly blown out over the past year unexpectedly. Have changed each bulb 4 times over the course of a year.

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.

Since buying this car new I have had multiple low beam headlight bulbs burn out. A total of 25 bulbs have failed since 2007. After reviewing the information on the internet and this web site it is an obvious safety problem which should be investigated and addressed by a recall to fix the electrical problem. This was done on earlier cvr models.

- Portland, OR, USA

Low beams keep burning out after 2 to 4 months of use. I have replaced both headlights at least 5 times in the lat 3 years. Just ridiculous. Dealership just replaces bulbs and the bulbs continue to burn out way to quickly. Even purchased longer life headlights and replaced both at same time, one bulb still burned out within 3 months. Honda needs to address this problem which many are experiencing on their 2006 CRV.

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.

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 !

Repeatedly the headlight bulbs blow out. Purchased car used 10/2012, replaced bulb 12/2012, again 6/2013 and now another one blown 10/2013.

Wiring harness on passenger side headlight is breaking leading to marker light, turn signal and headlamp failure. The wires are breaking at the point where they leave the wire sleeve in the harness. In this location, the conductors are protected from stress only by heat shrink tubing and the wire insulation. Stress from the weight of the rising wire harness and transferred strain from the back of the lamp connectors is highest at this point. Melting of the wire insulation and heat shrink tubing was found.

I have replaced the low beam bulbs 4 times the past 2 years on the passenger side and 2 times on the drivers side. This time the drivers side went out and after trying 2 new bulbs they still will not illuminate. I also have an issue with the dash light not coming on. The vehicle is scheduled for a check in 4 days. Over the life of this car the bulbs seem to last a very short time.

- Poolesville, MD, USA

The contact owns a 2006 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that the driver's side headlight stopped illuminating intermittently and the passenger's side headlight would not illuminate at all. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

- Staten Island, NY, USA

Both low beams suddenly stopped working leaving the road in complete darkness. This seems to be the same problem as was discovered and resulted in a previous Honda CRV recall whiyh was not extended to my vehicle: Recall subject : low beam headlight report receipt date: Mar 30, 2012 NHTSA campaign number: 12V136000 component(s): Exterior lighting

- Arlington, VA, USA

The low beam headlight on this vehicle has burned out 6 times for each side (I've replaced 6 on the passenger's side & 6 on the driver's side) since I bought the vehicle less than 6 years ago. The ironic thing is that I used to own a 2003 CR-V and I recently received a recall in the mail for the 2002-2004 models for "potential failure with the wiring of the low beam headlights which may cause the low beam headlights to fail". I did a bit of research and several people have the same issues. Below are a couple of links you can check out: 1) www.crvownersclub.com/forums/27-miscellaneous-general-CR-V-discussions/17512-06-CR-V-headlights-burning-out-frequently.html 2) www.topix.com/forum/autos/Honda-CR-V/tlnd3jkaui93fs68G/P3 I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and let me know what may be done about it. Thank you.

Both low-beam headlights failed on November 25, 2012 while on a cross-country trip. A Honda dealer checked the electrical system the following morning and reported no problems. The dealer replaced both bulbs and advised that Honda Cr-vs were prone to headlight problems. On the evening of April 23, 2013 (less than five months after the first double failure, vehicle mileage approximately 106,800 miles), both low-beam headlights failed again. The dealer where we purchased the vehicle checked the electrical system the following morning and reported no problems. This dealer also replaced the bulbs and advised that Honda Cr-vs were prone to headlight problems. In both instances, we noticed the low beam headlight failures at dusk, after starting the vehicle. We purchased this vehicle new in November 2005 and these are the only instances of headlight failure.

Beginning in 2008 I began noticing that I was changing my headlamp bulbs on a fairly frequent basis. As much as 3 or 4 times a year. Mostly on the drivers side. Recently the low beam went out again, April 2013, and when I replaced the bulb the low and high beams both shined very dimly and when I switched on the high beams both lamps went out. I am at a loss but suspect that there is a switch problem. Honda also recently recalled my vehicle for a faulty master window switch.
