2007 Honda Element problems

“THE SRS SENSOR IS BAD DUE TO AIR BAG STEERING WHEEL BEING RECALLED AND REPLACED IS PART OF THE SYSTEM THAT AIR BAG FUNCTIONS BY. I BELIEVE THE OR ALL PARTS SHOULD RECALLED”

“The contact owns a 2007 Honda Element. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V436000 (Electrical System, Trailer Hitches) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The contact was advised by the local dealer that the vehicle was not eligible for recall repairs due to the title being salvaged and that the part was not an attachment for the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the issues.”

“While driving up my driveway on the way home the left swing arm seperated from the unibody allowing the left rear wheel to move aft jamming the left rear tire into the rear inside fender effectively locking that wheel at about a 20 degree angle.”

“BRAKES "REPAIRED" IN '11 AT DEALER AFTER '07 ELEMENT BRAKE RECALL. NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN BRAKE SOFTNESS, BRAKES ARE STILL SOFT AND REQUIRE A LOT OF MUSCLE TO STOP THE CAR. SCARED, AND REFUSE TO DRIVE '07 ELEMENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR FOR FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP ON TIME. OWN A 2011 ACCORD, AFTER DRIVING THE '07 ELEMENT FOR A DAY OR TWO, I AM "SLAMMING" ON THE BRAKES OF THE ACCORD DUE TO HABIT OF HAVING TO "FLOOR/MASH" THE BRAKES TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THANK GOODNESS FOR GOOD ACCORD SEAT BELTS. :) PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. MANY TEENAGERS WILL BE RECEIVING THIS CAR AS FIRST TIME DRIVING CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. NOT SAFE WITH CURRENT CORPORATE APPROVED FIX. *TR”

“I WAS JUST DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA ELEMENT TO WORK IN THE NORTH END OF SEATTLE, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSA AND STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE "TRIANGLE WITH A LIGHTNING BOLT IN IT" IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS IT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO JERK AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD IDLE UP AND DOWN. IT WAS VERY INTENSE. I WOULD LIFT OFF THE GAS PATEL AND TRY TO LET IT SMOOTHIN OUT. IT DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW A RECALL ON THE 2007 AND 2008 HONDA ELEMENT, OVER 68,000 OF THEM. I WENT TO HONDA OF SEATTLE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WASN'T A RECALL, I THEN TOLD HIM TO LOOK ONLINE AND HE TRIED TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. HE STARTED TO QUOTE SOME NUMBERS OF WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC WOULD COST AND THEN THEY WOULD GO FROM THERE. I THEN TOLD THEM TO RETURN MY VEHICLE AND BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC. THE TOTAL COST TO FIX WHAT HONDA WOULDN'T EVEN THOUGH IT IS A RECALL IS $450.00. THIS IS UNFAIR AND HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT!”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ELEMENT. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION, THE AUTOMATIC AIR CIRCULATION FAN ACTIVATED. SUDDENLY, THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW GLASS SHATTERED INTO PIECES. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS OR INJURIES. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNABLE TO BE ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 18,000.”
