I PURCHASED A HONDA CERTIFIED USED 2006 CR-V IN JUNE 2010. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT VEHICLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2010. AROUND LABOR DAY WEEKEND, MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. SO WENT TO WAL-MART AND BOUGHT A NEW SET. WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM WENT OUT, REPLACED IT. THREE WEEK AFTER THAT, THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT, REPLACED THAT ONE. THREE WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGERS SIDE AGAIN WENT OUT. REPLACED IT. NOW, THE FIRST WEEK IN DECEMBER, THE DRIVER SIDE WAS OUT, AGAIN!!! I AM VERY CAREFUL TO NOT TOUCH THE BULB ITSELF WHEN REPLACING IT. I'VE ALSO USED THE DIELECTRIC GREASE TO HELP MAKE A SEAL ON THE CONNECTOR. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG ELECTRICALLY. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO GET BRAKES IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, SO I WILL ASK THEM TO TAKE A LOOK. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM STEMS FURTHER DOWN TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF. AT $25/BULB, IT'S RATHER EXPENSIVE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA CR-V 2 YEARS AGO. MY TRADE IN VEHICLE WAS A 1997 HONDA CR-V. SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR, I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT, AND SOMETIMES THE DOME LIGHT INSIDE THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BLOWING OUT ON AVERAGE, EVERY TWO MONTHS. DURING THE LAST YEAR OR 2 BEFORE TRADING THE 1997 CR-V, I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BLOWING ON THAT VEHICLE ALSO. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HENDRICKS HONDA IN CHARLESTON, SC. I HAVE MOST OF MY SERVICE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, DONE AT THAT DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THAT THEY INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I VISITED SUPERIOR HONDA RECENTLY IN ORANGEBURG SOUTH CAROLINA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER THERE TOLD ME THAT IN RECENT MONTHS, HE WAS AWARE OF AT LEAST ONE CR-V OWNER AND SEVERAL OWNERS OF CIVICS WHO HAVE COME BACK AND FORTH TO THEIR DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT. HENDRICKS HONDA ADVISED AGAINST CONTACTING THE CORPORATION AND SAID IT WOULD LIKELY REFER THE MATTER BACK TO THEM. I COMMUTE TO WORK 120 MILES ROUND TRIP DAILY. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY POLICE OFFICERS AND HIGHWAY PATROLMEN REGARDING ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS BEING OUT. I NOW CARRY COPIES OF THE SERVICE REQUESTS SHOWING THAT I REPORTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DURING MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOW THESE TO THE OFFICE AS PROOF THAT THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING AND I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE IT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND/OR TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, OR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS, AND HAVE FOUND NONE. POST SCRIPT: THERE ARE NUMEROUS "INCIDENT DATES".
