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 the federal safety agency 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 the federal safety agency 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.

Problem: headlight bulb blowout at any time; driving or stationary. The headlights on this vehicle according to honda are designed to run off the battery, not the alternator. If the battery voltage drops significantly, the car is designed to push the battery voltage back up. This causes voltage spikes that blow out the headlight bulbs. This is described online at www.carcomplaints.com. For example: cr-v176,000 miles passenger side low beam does not function... Have replaced bulb every few months for the past several years, but this time (since feb. 2019) there is no recovery. I have replaced the bulb, socket and connector, checked fuses...hi beam and parking/signal bulbs all fully functional, but no low beam on passenger side. This is a dangerous and well known defect that a recall was issued for in the 2005 models. Honda, in certain model years, of which 2006 is one, has so far refused to offer remedy. There are more than enough instances of this unique hazard to justify a recall, and one is long overdue.- stockton, ca, USA takata recall low beam headlight stops working headlight bulbs continue to blow. Then can blow after a couple of months- merced, ca, USA cr-v 150,000 miles headlight bulbs continue to blow. Then can blow after a couple of months or a year after installation. But they blow often enough that when they go, I immediately go to the store to buy replacements. Just this evening, I had a the right side go when I replace the left side just yesterday. I fear that both may go at the same time when my wife or I are behind the wheel with our infant in the backseat. The bulbs have blown while going down the road, as well as when parked. Since we acquired this vehicle in 2009, I have replaced over a dozen bulbs. I have only recently started saving receipts to better track this issue.- north kingstown, ri, USA
Headlights, brake lights, turn signal lights continue to burn out. On a monthly basis we are paying to have them replaced. Then we get stopped for one being out, take it to our mechanic and they are working. Nothing short of frustrating. These occur when driving and when stopped. All driving situations. This has been going on for the 20 or so months and appears to be coming more frequently.
Headlights go out every 2-3 months so constantly changing bulbs. Very inconvenient and dangerous.
