2005 Honda CR-V: tire blowout or tread separation

Filed Aug 14, 2017 · Lights · 81,500 miles · CO

The low beam headlights on my 2005 vehicle repeatedly blow out bulbs leaving me with only one and potentially no low beam headlights. On both sides of the vehicle the life expectancy of the bulbs is no more than 4 months. They are unreliable and may cease working while on the road reducing my visibility in all types of weather conditions and at night. This problem seems to be the same as the one for the recall of 2002-2004 cr-vs and has been reported by numerous owners. I contacted honda's customer service and was told that the VIN of my vehicle was not covered and unless the VIN was part of the recall, they would not honor correcting the problem. (case # 06225907) request investigation to have 2005 cr-vs added to the recall.

I was getting an oil change and the attendant doing the change pointed out a problem with all four of my tires. The sidewalls had multiple cracks in them. Some are an inch long and look deep. The manager of the facility said they were caused by the sun. I contacted michelin and they seemed to agree. I don't believe it. All four tires had the same problem. I don't have my receipt any longer. The tires were purchased in fall of 2008. I think the cracks are dangerous and could result in a blowout. I read about 5 blowouts that occurred with these same style tires where the driver did not know what caused the blowout. Maybe the tires had cracks. Michelin does not make harmony tires anymore. At least, I couldn't find any for sale. Tread depth is about 7/32". I have photos that show the cracks well. I you want to see them, let me know.

This vehicle, and its twin, a 2006 crv, constantly have blown out headlights (low beams). They blow out every few thousand miles, which is a very expensive, annoying, and dangerous problem. Honda denies a problem, but between the two vehicles we have replaced dozens and dozens of headlamps, we now buy them three at a time to cut down our trips to the auto parts store. We rarely use the headlights in daytime, only when necessary, which I feel is compromising safety, since the lights go out on such a constant basis.

Instead, dealer set appt. For tues. Jan. 8, 2007. In between those 2 times, vehicle had an oil change at jiffy lube. The serviceman at the jif.

On jan.8, 2008 [valley honda, 4221 william penn highway, monroeville, pa 15146--ph:412‑373‑3000] a mechanic inspected the tires on vehicle, which now had 15,730 miles on them, the mechanic informed me the steel belts inside of the back tires were broken! He asked about the use of the vehicle for various purposes to which I responded no on all accounts. In addition, if we had hit a hole hard enough to break the steel belts in both of the back tires, one would think the car would be out of alignment, which it is not. No explanation from the dealership as to why the front tires were so badly worn and no explanation as to why the wear on the front tires was never noticed by their servicemen. The dealership stated "there is no warranty on those tires" but, offered to sell us 4 brand new yamaha tires at $89.41 + $13.50 for installation per tire, plus tax, plus a fee to dispose of the old tires. So far these tires have not failed, but we are scared to death to drive the vehicle on the parkway, turnpike, freeway, or any high speed road for fear of a tire failure that might cause an accident & injury.
