Description of the problem | 2005 cr-v: the low beams burn out constantly at an accelerated rate. The two bulbs burn out virtually back-to-back within 10 days of each other. I have been forced to drive with only my brights. I have had several occurrences of this in 150,000 miles of driving... Once on vacation, no less. I have spoken to two other owners of same model with same complaint. For the record, i owned a 2002 cr-v where i rarely replaced any bulbs in 200,000 miles! This is unacceptable and creates a potentially dangerous situation. Obviously, something is wrong with the design - perhaps the designed voltage is greater than the bulbs can accept resulting in frequent bulb failure far above (what i believe) a statistical analysis would deem within an acceptable margin. Please investigate! The consumer no longer owns the vehicle put continuously receives recall notices. The manufacturer was notified. *js |
