Master Power Window Control Switch failed operating the Passenger power window regulator. While driving, the front passenger regulator popped and the window started falling down all by itself. It happened by a glass repair company, so I asked them what happened. He said when the voltage going to the regulator is not uniform, the regulator will pop and the window will drop down. He offered to repair it for $200 including parts which I thought was a fair price. I went to a website where they tell you if any parts on your vehicle have been recalled. It did include a master power window control switch for a 2005 Honda CR-V. So I called Middletown Honda, (NY) and they said the master Power Window Control Switch was $405. My car was not included in the recall (which only included switches made in the U.K) and they would only see the car if they could get a new Master Power Window Switch. I proceeded to tape up the window which dramatically reduces visibility to the rear view mirror and to side traffic on the highway. I don't have comprehensive insurance on my car and don't want to report it to my insurance company as I am [XXX] old reducing the chances of getting insurance from another company. The airbag light has been coming on and off since this incident leaving me with another unknown electrical problem. I told Middletown Honda that I would probably junk the car, but due to the car's age, they offered no comment, (the car is a 2005 Honda CR-V EX AWD).

Approximately 2-3 months ago as I was driving I smelled a warm, buring electical smell coming from the left door. Immediately after this I had noticed my driver side lock, power mirror controls, would not work on the drivers side. After speaking with my mechanic I was told that this issue has a current safety bulletin opened for it. Today I took my car to Apple Honda of York to have the recall taken care of. The issues persisted and Honda refused to inspect the door wiring. The remedy of this solution was to be as follows: Remedy Please call any authorized Honda dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The dealer will replace the power window master switch and INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR PROBLEMS, replacing it if necessary, for free. For additional questions or to get help locating a dealer, owners may contact American Honda Customer Support and Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. This dealership only replaced the switch but did not inspect the wiring or wiring harness in detail for issues that certainly could have occurred due to this safety recall. I still wonder from time to time while driving if the wiring will short causing a fire and explained this to the Honda dealership. I have followed up with Honda of America to report this issue which is currently being investigated by a case worker.

My driver power window switch melted and failed in the same way described in the current recall for the same model and year vehicle, just not under the SHS vin numbers that are covered. I suspect this recall should cover more cars than previously thought. I noticed this problem after heavy rains, first my windows stopped rolling up and down, then I began noticed a burring/melting plastic smell coming from the drivers door. I took the door apart and tracked the smell down to the power master switch. After inspecting the switch, it was indeed the switch that melted on the circuit board. It seems to have damaged the driver wiring door harness as well, also like the current recall states. All just as described in the current safety recall which I have attached below. **Safety Recall: 2002-06 CR-V Driver’s Power Window Switch (Only VINs that start with SHS) ''under severe conditions, water or other liquid may enter the driver’s window and reach the power window master switch on the door panel. Liquid in the switch can damage the switch’s printed circuit board (PCB), causing the switch to fail. In rare cases, the damaged PCB creates a short circuit that overheats the switch connectors and melts them, leading to a possible fire.'' All affected vehicles, even those previously repaired under S/B 12-067, must have the driver's power window switch replaced under the current recall.

THE 2005 CR-V HAS THE SAME PART, FAILURE, AND REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR THE LIGHT SWITCH WIRE HARNESS LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I FEEL A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, SINCE IT IS THE SAME FAILURE, SAME PART TO REPLACE AND SAME DANGER. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE ON THE HONDA SERVICE BOARDS.

MY HEADLIGHT BULBS BURN-OUT AFTER ONLY 4-6 WEEKS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. THE SHORT-BULB-LIFE EVENT OCCURS ABOUT 70% ON THE DRIVER SIDE, AND ABOUT 30% ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS NO SIGN OF MOISTURE ENTERING THE BULB/LIGHT AREA. THIS IS A CONSTANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME SINCE THE PROBLEM MEANS I AM OFTEN DRIVING WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE-- APPROXIMATELY 12-15 NEW BULBS PER YEAR ! THE BULBS BURN OUT WHEN DRIVING ON ROADS OF ALL TYPES. ON THIS FORM BELOW, WHERE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" IS REQUESTED, I HAVE ENTERED THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE (BULB BURNED OUT AFTER ONLY 5 WEEKS OF LIFE) ALTHOUGH AS STATED ABOVE,THIS EVENT HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS.

THE MASTER SWITCH FOR THE POWER WINDOWS INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK - WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. I HAVE NOW HAD IT DISCONNECTED BECAUSE THE SAME SWITCH IN OTHER HONDA C-RVS 2002-2006 HAS CAUSED MELTING OF THE SWITCH AND EVEN FIRES. MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 12V-486) FOR THIS SWITCH DEFECT BUT I WONDER IF IT SHOULD BE? I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO HONDA AND IT HAS BEEN RECORDED AS CASE # 05298119.

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO SOME OF THE PANEL LIGHTS WENT OUT. HONDA TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE ONLY A FEW OF THEM AND IF I COULD MANAGE AS IT IS NOW, TO WAIT UNTIL MORE LIGHTS STOP WORKING, THEN REPLACE THEM.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT, THIS IS MY SECOND REPLACEMENT IN 3 WEEKS. DON'T KNOW IF THE LEFT ONE WILL GO OUT TOO BUT I LIVE IN A WOODSY AREA AND AM TERRIFIED THAT AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE WINDING ROAD I WILL BE LEFT WITHOUT LIGHTS. I CARRY A FLASHLIGHT WITH ME NOW. IT'S MANDATORY. HONDA PLEASE ISSUE RECALLS FOR THE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS.
