| Description of the problem | I have replaced numerous low beam bulbs on our 2006 honda cr-v. I replaced the left one this past week end. The bulb i removed tested fine, but i put a new bulb in anyway but still had no low beam! Then after checking fuses which were ok, it worked. Now it is out again. I checked to make sure everything had tight connections. The low beam is still not working even with the new bulb. This has happened on both the left and right sides. I had the right side go out a month ago and replaced that bulb. This a continuing problem. I decided to do some research and discovered i am not the only honda cr-v owner with headlight low beam problems. I read where a recall is coming for model years 2002-2004. I am one of many honda cr-v owners who believe the recall should extend through the 2006 model year. I have owned vehicles for over 50 years and can't recall a vehicle that has gone through so many bulbs. We purchased this vehicle from a honda dealer with 33,000 miles on it in april of 2009. Please investigate this safety issue! Thank you. |
