2012 Honda CR-V Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1020864
Internal NHTSA #	10550800
Manufacurer	Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Brand	HONDA
Model	CR-V
Model Year	2012
File date	26/03/12
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have had the headlights adjusted 3 times. There is insufficient light to drive by at night. I do not feel safe on the road in this vehicle after dark. The dealer said it is the nature of the new reflective lights which do not shine out. He said there is nothing else they can do to fix them. I reported the issue to honda america and they say they will do nothing unless the lights are defective. Apparently not being able to see at night is not a defect. I have to drive with them on high beams to be able to see at all and if i switch to low beam upon meeting another vehicle i have to come to a dead stop as i cannot see where i am in the road. There is no beam which is directly in front of your drive path. Low beam with fog lights or high beam; neither is sufficient light to drive by. I live in a rural area with no street lights and lots of deer. I need the headlights replaced on this vehicle to be a safe driver. I have seen other complaints on the internet and am asking the nhsa to force honda to recall these vehicles to have the lights replaced with a different type of lighting. I barely feel able to drive on familiar roads there is no way i can take this vehicle to an unknown area at night. Please recognize this issue as a safety hazard. I am not interested in a law suit. I just want to be safe in my 2012 honda crv.
