| Description of the problem | I bought a 2006 honda crv new from a honda dealer in maryland. The car had only 3 miles on it when purchased. About a month after having the car the driver's side low beam went out. I had it replaced. Three months later the beam went out again and had it replaced by a friend. This has been an ongoing problem over the last six years. I have replaced my driver's side low beam at least ten times over this time frame. Recently, (oct. Of 2011) i took my car to aaa to have my headlights repaired because both low beams on driver's and passenger side went out the same day and i was traveling out of state. The mechanics told me that my passenger side headlight was corroded and had to be replace entirely. The replacement of the entire headlight cost me $600. I am taking my car back to honda today (april 2, 2012) to have the driver's side low beam replaced again! I also had to purchase headlight boots. I have reported this to my honda dealership numerous times. They continue to tell me that there is not a problem with the 2006 crv. Honda needs to look a bit more closely into this matter. Obviously, there is an issue and people are spending large quantities of money to fix someone else's mistake. |
