| Description of the problem | Problem: headlight bulb blowout at any time; driving or stationary. The headlights on this vehicle according to honda are designed to run off the battery, not the alternator. If the battery voltage drops significantly, the car is designed to push the battery voltage back up. This causes voltage spikes that blow out the headlight bulbs. This is described online at www. Carcomplaints. Com. For example: cr-v176,000 miles passenger side low beam does not function... Have replaced bulb every few months for the past several years, but this time (since feb. 2019) there is no recovery. I have replaced the bulb, socket and connector, checked fuses... Hi beam and parking/signal bulbs all fully functional, but no low beam on passenger side. This is a dangerous and well known defect that a recall was issued for in the 2005 models. Honda, in certain model years, of which 2006 is one, has so far refused to offer remedy. There are more than enough instances of this unique hazard to justify a recall, and one is long overdue.- stockton, ca, usa takata recall low beam headlight stops working headlight bulbs continue to blow. Then can blow after a couple of months- merced, ca, usa cr-v 150,000 miles headlight bulbs continue to blow. Then can blow after a couple of months or a year after installation. But they blow often enough that when they go, i immediately go to the store to buy replacements. Just this evening, i had a the right side go when i replace the left side just yesterday. I fear that both may go at the same time when my wife or i are behind the wheel with our infant in the backseat. The bulbs have blown while going down the road, as well as when parked. Since we acquired this vehicle in 2009, i have replaced over a dozen bulbs. I have only recently started saving receipts to better track this issue.- north kingstown, ri, usa |
