WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP DRIVING HOME ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. AFTER A FEW MILES WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE SHOT UP AND IT STARTED OVERHEATING. WE GOT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AS FAST AS WE COULD. WHEN WE PULLED OVER, MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD AND INTENSE STEAM BLEW OUT FROM THE RADIATOR AREA. TURNED OUT THAT, UNBEKNOWNST TO US, THE COMPRESSOR SEIZED UP AND CAUSED THE SERPENTINE BELT TO BREAK, WHICH DISABLED THE WATER PUMP. IT RUINED THE DAMAGED THE RADIATOR AND WARPED THE HEAD GASKET. WE WERE 2 1/2 HOURS FROM HOME! ONCE WERE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED AND HOME, WE TOOK IT IN TO THE MECHANIC SO HE COULD LOOK AT THE A/C. METAL SHARDS WERE IN THE CONDENSER AND IT EVENTUALLY GOT INTO THE LINE AND INTO THE COMPRESSOR. ANOTHER A/C ISSUE HAS BEEN THE CONDENSER FAN. IT HAS TO BE REPLACED EVERY 3-4 YEARS.

FINALLY, MONDAY, 7/8/2019 WHILE DRIVING TO A CAR RENTAL PLACE, MY 2005 HONDA CR-V SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AT LEAST 5-6 TIMES TIL IT FINALLY BEGAN SMOKING FROM THE ENGINE AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND GET IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. I AM TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT IT IS YET AGAIN THE AC SYSTEM. THE IS NOW THE 3RD TIME I AM BEING FACED WITH HAVING TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT IN THE CAR'S AC/HEAT/DEFROST SYSTEM, EACH TIME AT AN EXPENSE RANGING FROM $800.00 - $1,700.00. NOW I AM WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FACING ANOTHER COSTLY REPAIR BILL AND HAVING TO SPEND MONEY ON A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE WAITING TO FIND OUT HOW TO PROCEED WITH MY HONDA CR-V. MY MECHANIC HAS ALSO INFORMED THAT OVER THE LAST NINE MONTHS OR SO, THEY HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 6-7 OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH HONDA CR-VS, COME IN WITH THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF IT'S OCCURRING TO MORE AND MORE HONDA CR-V OWNERS. AS A SIDE NOTE, MY HONDA CR-V ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 147,000 MILES ON IT.

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND BOTH LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT AND REMAINED OUT. HAD TO STOP TO PREVENT CRASH. DRIVER COULD NOT SEE. VERY DANGEROUS! HIGH BEAMS WORKING BUT DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL LATER. READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY HONDAS AND A TSB ISSUED FOR OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT THIS ONE. THIS MODEL AND YEAR NEEDS A TSB AS WELL. READ THAT OTHERS WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO TSB FOR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED AND WERE REPLACED FOUR TIMES IN ONE YEAR. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT COULD NOT VIEW THE GAUGES. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC PROVIDED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL FAILURES WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO EXHIBITED TIRE CUPPING FOR THE REAR TIRES. THE TIRES HAD BEEN REPLACED EVERY 2.5 YEARS DUE TO EXCESSIVE TREADWEAR ON THE REAR TIRES.

FIRST TEAM HONDA (3444 WESTERN BRANCH BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23321, (757) 337-6597) AND WILLIAMSBURG HONDA (7101 RICHMOND RD, WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23188, (757) 564-4671) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. TOLD BY HONDA DEALER THAT THIS IS DUE TO SEATBELT PART THAT IS FAULTY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IS THIS PART OF A RECALL? I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017 AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT RECALLS HAVE BEEN MISSED.

I'VE OWN THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE EVER SINCE I OWN THIS VEHICLE. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SEEM TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM) ESPECIALLY THERE IS NO STREET LIGHTS AND ALSO FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS IF I USE THE HIGH BEAM TO DRIVE. THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL - YEARS 2002 ' 2004 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V136000). PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MODEL YEAR 2005 AS WELL BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED.

HEADLIGHT RECALL. I AM AWARE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME HEADLIGHT RECALLS ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS OF HONDA CRV. I HAVE A 2005. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT AND/OR FAIL VERY FREQUENTLY. I HAVE OWNED THE CRV FOR MAYBE 5 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULBS 4 TO 5 TIMES. NOW THE RIGHT HEADLAMP WILL NOT WORK EVEN WITH A BRAND NEW BULB. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHTS COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW IS JUST THE MOST RECENT FAILURE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED WHILE THE HIGH BEAMS CONTINUE TO WORK. THIS SAME FAILURE IN OTHER HONDA MODELS MERITED A SAFETY RECALL. PLEASE SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETINS 12-056 AND 04-15. 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.
