The Vechile Stability Assist (VSA) light came on and took it too my Honda mechanic and confirmed that the Anti-lock Brake System(ABS) module needs to be replaced and this disabled the VSA. Parts+labor over $2,600+ to fix. Called the Manufacturer (Honda) and told me that I would have too first get it fixed and then submit the bill to them and they may reimburse me some of the cost or nothing. Since the ABS component controls brake and stability this a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall. I looked on the web and in the United Kingdom and Canada that Honda has paid in full. In the US, Honda doesn't consider it a defect and thus won't reimburse the owner's for fixing the vehicle. Once again because this an safety issue I believe that Honda should recall these vehicles and cost should be covered by Honda

About 4 months ago I discovered that the electric operator on the front passenger window no longer worked. I recently had a mechanic try to repair it and he found that the motor worked well. He replaced the switches in both the passenger door and the driver's door but window only goes down and not up. The mechanic checked online and discovered that this vehicle model was recalled in December, 2020, for this problem. When I checked on getting my vehicle repaired through the recall, I discovered that my specific vehicle was not included in the recall. Because I am now aware of the risk of fire, I request that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can have it repaired. Thanks for your consideration of this request.

Within the last week, both low beam headlights went out, and both sockets show burn damage that is similar to the issue reported in NHTSA recall: 04V086000.

I THEN DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION TO THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY I WAS LET TO COME BY IF THEY WERE NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF ME, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHY I WAS COMING. I LIVE 1 HOUR AND 15 MIN AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALER SHOP. THE HONDA MANAGER, AFTER NOTICING I WAS NOT BUYING THEIR LAME EXCUSES, HE VERY RUDELY AND ABRUPTLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY.

THEY JUST SAID THE BULB WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. I DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY AND YESTERDAY (7/20/2018) I NOTICED THAT MY LIGHTS WEREN'T REFLECTING ON THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING.

I OWN A 2006 CRV WITH UNDER 33000 MILES, I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AS I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SO ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY VSA, ABS, ENGINE, TPS (TRIANGLE EXPLANATION POINT SYMBOL) AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND I'M TOLD THE VSA MODULE NEEDS REPLACING! COSTING $2400. WOW! THAT'S EXPENSIVE. I THINK THIS PART SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY! THIS PART IS VITAL AND HOW HAS $2400 BURNING A WHOLE IN THERE POCKET? PLEASE HELP! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!

HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER INSTALLATION. BUT THEY BLOW OFTEN ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY GO, I IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE STORE TO BUY REPLACEMENTS. JUST THIS EVENING, I HAD A THE RIGHT SIDE GO WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I FEAR THAT BOTH MAY GO AT THE SAME TIME WHEN MY WIFE OR I ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH OUR INFANT IN THE BACKSEAT. THE BULBS HAVE BLOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AS WELL AS WHEN PARKED. SINCE WE ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE IN 2009, I HAVE REPLACED OVER A DOZEN BULBS. I HAVE ONLY RECENTLY STARTED SAVING RECEIPTS TO BETTER TRACK THIS ISSUE.

COMPLAINT MIMICS THE COMPLAINTS HERE IN THE NHTSA, COMPLAINT #'S 10573302, 10576909 AND 10619157 FOR LOW BEAM LAMPS BURNING OUT PREMATURELY SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT AS A USED VEHICLE BACK IN 2008 FROM LARRY MILLER HONDA IN HILLSBORO OREGON MUCH LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CIVIC MODELS FOR STARTERS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY HONDA AMERICA IS NOT RESPONDING, WHAT IS THE NHSTA DOING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN?
