Led lights on the dash board of my 2005 honda crv began failing approximately 2 years ago (may 2008) and have now burned out on left side, obscuring tachometer and temp gauge and 1/2 of speedometer. Honda service in new britain ct (schaller) refused to fix under my extended warranty (light bulbs not covered). It appears others have had same problem. Honda should do the right thing and recall all '05 crvs for a global fix.

The following is a problem that I have with my veh, which I hope you can resolve. Cr.v 2005 VIN # [xxx] maintenance history: all scheduled maintenance were performed by honda of nanuet. Problem: approximately 2 years after purchase the LED lights of the instrument panel, starting from the left side, begin to go out. Resulting that during night-time driving I am unable to see the temperature gauge and part of the RPM gauge. During a scheduled maintenance I brought this situation up, to the svc mgr who promptly told me that it was not a covered item. I mentioned that I was extremely concerned about this safety issue but the issue was not resolved. Needless to say, more of the LED lights have stopped working; the only lights that continue to work are the ones on the right side of the speedometer that light up 120mph thru 140mph. This situation in my opinion is an extremely dangerous one while driving at night. And may result in an accident or worse. The leds obliviously were defective from the beginning and should have been replaced by the service department in nanuet. Since this situation is potentially dangerous- since I do use the vehicle at night, I am respectfully requesting that honda replace the leds lights at no cost to me. I spoke with mr sergio salvador, cust svc on 4/1/10 who simply stated that I should've done something earlier. I told that I did informed the dealer service mgr two years after purchase, of the problem and my concern about my safety driving at night, I also told that this defect is a serious safety issue with severe possible consequences, and further emphasized that the honda dealership was aware of the problem 3 years ago but did nothing about it. Mr. Salvador still maintained that honda would not make the repair. I told him that the LED lights must have been defective from the onset. There was no resolution. Therefore I am making this complaint. Please help. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2006 honda crv SUV continually has starter switch problems. It buzzes loudly upon starting the engine. It sounds like the contacts are shorting out. My friends who have hondas of the same year, but have a different models do not have this problem.
Our insured took their 2006 honda crv for maintenance. One week later after oil change & differential service - auto caught on fire while in travel. Insured auto fire originated at right front under hood.
Vsa diagnostic trouble code. Vsa light comes on and off at will. Sometimes the vsa light is preceded by a loud banging noise when braking and turning. Car jerks and screeches. Vsa light goes off when restarting car. Dealership will only diagnose and work on under warranty if vsa light is on. After persistent visits to dealership, they were able to diagnose and order a part even though vsa light was off.
I have a 2005 honda crv purchased new from jeff wyler honda in florence, ky. Twice now, my ignition has simply shut itself off while I was driving. Once this occurred on the highway (in 2006) and again this week (2007) on a busy road. When the car shuts off, the green key icon in the dash flashes. Luckily both times I was able to coast out of traffic, shift into park and restart. I have been able to restart immediately, but it's a really dangerous problem when you are driving 65 MPH and your car shuts itself off. The first time this happened I had about 40,000 miles on the car. Now I have nearly 60,000. Otherwise, the crv is in perfect condition. I noticed that there was a recall on honda crv ignition switches in 2002, and the description sounded identical to the problem I'm having. I think that they have not fixed the problem yet. I took it to the dealer for service a year ago, but they could not replicate the problem. They told me that they suspected it was cell phone interference with the ignition switch. If so, that's a big flaw because...who doesn't have a cell phone in their purse in the car?
Vehicle was being driven at approximately 35 miles per hour during evening in low traffic on 4 lane urban road. The engine stalled abruptly and all warning lights came on and gauge indicators fell to zero. Coincident with the stall, the car lost steering (the steering wheel could be moved no more than 1-2 inches to the left or right, with reference to steering wheel circumference), would not brake (with full weight pressure on pedal), and was brought to a stop by engine drag and application of emergency brake. Restarting required several attempts. Had this problem manifested in heavy traffic on a curve at freeway speed, a serious accident would likely have been inevitable.
