| Description of the problem | The front acc adaptor in my 2006 cr-v constantly blew fuses. I requested service on my car three times, and all three times the fuses were only replaced. No one seemed to know the cause of the surge. I finally took the car back again in november 2006 and told them to find the problem, not just replace the fuse. The housing of the acc adaptor had faulty connections that caused both contacts to touch and thus blow the fuses. The manager of the maintenance department gave me a printout explaining that the company had knowledge of the defect since march of 2006 but did not wish to do a recall due to the limited affect the surges had on the operation of the car overall. I personally travel extensively with my job and use my acc adaptor daily. This specific defect caused me to be unable to charge my phone while away from my home on business. The phone died and i was left without a way to contact anyone. It would have been great for honda to publish this defect in the acc adaptor housing to all owners of 2006 cr-vs. *nm |
