| Description of the problem | The low beam headlights on my 2005 vehicle repeatedly blow out bulbs leaving me with only one and potentially no low beam headlights. On both sides of the vehicle the life expectancy of the bulbs is no more than 4 months. They are unreliable and may cease working while on the road reducing my visibility in all types of weather conditions and at night. This problem seems to be the same as the one for the recall of 2002-2004 cr-vs and has been reported by numerous owners. I contacted honda's customer service and was told that the vin of my vehicle was not covered and unless the vin was part of the recall, they would not honor correcting the problem. (case # 06225907) request investigation to have 2005 cr-vs added to the recall. |
