Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Led lights on dashboard stopped working. I can no longer see my speedometer at night, or the mileage gauge. I raised this to attention of Honda dealership/repair and they offered to repair at my expense--approximately $100. This shouldn't have happened. Also, as others have reported, one of my headlights has repeatedly burned out since purchase--I've replaced it twice.”
NHTSA complaint #10325482, filed 2010-04, 60,000 miles“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.”
