There are 3 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2025 Honda CR-Vin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Brake lights did not turn on while stopping using automatic braking until the vehicle was completely stopped, leading to a rear-end collision
I am not the owner of a 2024 or 2025 Honda CR-V but I am regularly blinded by their new dual low beam LED headlamps on the road. These lamps are shockingly bright and exceed the glare of some other vehicles with high beams on. I suspect the beam pattern of these lamps is poorly designed and can blind other motorists either in an oncoming traffic flow or when the CR-V driver is following a vehicle and blinding them via rear view and side view mirrors. Photo attached of example headlamps and comments from CRV owners acknowledging they glare oncoming drivers.
2025 Honda CRV EX-L purchased [XXX]. Unable to drive car at night due to headlights. Extremely poor illumination. I am [XXX] with 20/20 vision. The headlights on low beam barely illuminate the road. I have spent $51,000 on a car that I am unable to drive after sunset. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
