| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2005 honda crv used from an owner in may 2011. In the 2+ years i have owned it i have changed the regular headlight bulbs 3-4 times. I have never had to change the headlights so often in any other car i have owned. And, to top it off, just recently i've noticed the reverse lights are out now too! I urge honda to extend their headlight recall to the 2005 crvs as well, as it seems that this recalled electrical issue continues to later versions. I like this car, but i don't want it to nickel and dime me to frustration! The design of the car doesn't make it easy to change out those bulbs either (did it with gloves on and different types of bulbs)! Every time i see a 2005 honda crv owner on the road i feel like waving them down just to see if they are having the same problems with their headlights as i am! |
