| Description of the problem | Both low-beam headlights failed on november 25, 2012 while on a cross-country trip. A honda dealer checked the electrical system the following morning and reported no problems. The dealer replaced both bulbs and advised that honda cr-vs were prone to headlight problems. On the evening of april 23, 2013 (less than five months after the first double failure, vehicle mileage approximately 106,800 miles), both low-beam headlights failed again. The dealer where we purchased the vehicle checked the electrical system the following morning and reported no problems. This dealer also replaced the bulbs and advised that honda cr-vs were prone to headlight problems. In both instances, we noticed the low beam headlight failures at dusk, after starting the vehicle. We purchased this vehicle new in november 2005 and these are the only instances of headlight failure. |
