2006 Honda CR-V exterior lighting problems

“The contact owns a 2006 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH at night, the driver's side low beam headlight had failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that the high-beam headlights operated as needed; however, the driver's side low-beam headlight was inoperable. The contact stated that no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local mechanic who replaced the driver's side headlight bulb. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the failure had become a recurring failure and had recently occurred to the passenger’s side low beam headlight. The contact researched online and became aware of similar failures with other vehicles. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.”

“Every few months one of my low beam headlamps goes out, and I replace it to stay in compliance with local traffic laws. 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 am concerned that even if I replace both the lights and the sockets, there may be something else going on that could cause a fire. I'd like NHTSA to look into this please. Thank you”

“Low-beam headlight bulb repeatedly fails in 2006 Honda CR-V, more often on the driver’s side, requiring replacement two to three times per year. This has occurred since the car was purchased in 2011 over ten years ago. Recall is needed for this common problem.”

“WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKES WILL SEIZE UP ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING SOUND. IT DID IT TWICE YESTERDAY(12/19/2020)WHILE DRIVING IN THE SNOW AND THE CAR WILL OFTEN SLIDE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ONCE WAS TOLD MY BRAKE LIKE IS PROBABLY FROZEN. THE CAR DEALERSHIP EVEN TOOK THE CONVERTER HEAT SHIELD OFF AS IT WAS DENTED AND THEY THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE. IT IS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN YOUR BRAKES DON'T WORK GOOD AND YOU CAN'T STOP. I HAVE CHANGED MY BRAKES ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BUT IT STILL DOES IT. LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING AND THE CAR HAS EVEN SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKING.”
