Honda Cr-v Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Nov 19, 2007
Reported on Nov 19, 2007
| MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT - HIGH BEAMS CONTINUED TO WORK IN ALL INSTANCES. FIRST INCIDENT 11/19/2007 REPLACED PART OF WIRING HARNESS DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESS HAD MELTED. 9/20/2010 LOW BEAMS WENT OUT AGAIN - REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. 3/7/11 LOW BEAMS OUT AGAIN - REPLACED THE HEADLAMP SWITCH. 6/2/11 LOW BEAMS OUT AGAIN - REPLACED THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL MODULE. 12/2/11 LOW BEAMS OUT AGAIN - IN SHOP DISCONNECTED AND CONNECTED WIRING - LOW BEAMS WORKING. 12/24/11 LOW BEAMS WENT OUT. 12/25/11 LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON BY THEMSELVES. 1/4/2012 LOW BEAMS OUT AGAIN - IN SHOP CHECKED CONNECTIONS. PICKED UP CAR LOW BEAMS WORKING. 1/5/2012 - LOW BEAMS OUT AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY 3 OTHER VISITS TO A MECHANIC - CONNECTIONS UNPLUGGED AND REPLUGGED TO GET LOW BEAMS WORKING AGAIN. ALSO AT LEAST 5 OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THE LOW BEAMS WENT OUT AND CAME BACK ON BEFORE I COULD GET THE CR-V TO A MECHANIC. 9/2011 MOTOR TRENDS MAGAZINE REPORTS ISSUE OF LOW BEAMS HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT ON HONDA CR-V MODELS 2002 - 2005. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1000 TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. ISSUE WITH WIRING HARNESS MELTING SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE THE RECALL THAT HONDA ISSUED FOR THE FIT - 'WIRING HARNESSES FOR THE HEADLAMP CONTROL SWITCH - THE CONNECTOR COULD OVERHEAT AND FAIL, RENDERING THE LOW-BEAM LAMPS INOPERABLE. HONDA NOTES THAT HIGH-BEAM HEADLAMP FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT IMPEDED BY THIS ISSUE.' *TR | |
