PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA ELEMENT IN SEPTEMBER 2010. CAR HAD 29K MILES ON IT. BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT DURING INITIAL TEST DRIVE (WENT TO FLOOR). DEALER BLED BRAKES. DEALER REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER ON 10/14 DUE TO SOFT PEDAL (GOES TO FLOOR). NOTE THAT DEALER CONFIRMED THE RECALL WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE AND DID NOT WORK. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL STOP. *TR

1. THE EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE WAS USAGE. 2. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AS LOCKING MECHANISMS FAILED TO ALLOW KEY ENTRY TO DRIVER SIDE DOOR (ENTRANCE TO VEHICLE). 3. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE WAS NOTHING BUT TO CRAWL TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR VIA OPENING THE PASSENGERS DOOR WITH A LOCKING MECHANISM PROGRESSIVELY FAILING ON IT'S DOOR AS WELL. (MANY - MANY OTHER OWNER'S OF HONDA ELEMENTS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS ISSUE - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - LOOK INTO IT.) THE CAR IS GREAT MINUS THIS AND IT'S' GAS MILEAGE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DROVE CAR ON A 6 HR TRIP WITH ONE STOP FOR GAS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS THEREFORE THERE WAS NO NEED TO TURN HEADLIGHTS ON. WHEN REACHING DESTINATION, HEADLIGHTS HAD TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES ALTHOUGH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN REMAINED IN THE 'OFF' POSITION AND WAS NEVER TURNED ON BY THE DRIVER THAT DAY. CAR HEADLIGHT WARNING WOULD NOT SOUND WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND DOOR OPEN EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. REMOVED HEADLIGHT FUSE THAT NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY, INSERTED FUSE AND HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON. TOOK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED HEADLIGHT RELAY BUT THAT SAME DAY HEADLIGHTS CONTINUED TO TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. DEALERSHIP REPLACED ENTIRE FUSE BOX TO FIX THE PROBLEM. LESS THAN ONE WEEK LATER, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER3,000 RPM. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT THE VTECH SENSOR FOR OIL PRESSURE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN AUG 2006 SO ONLY HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY ONE OWNER FOR 4 YEARS WITH DEALER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. *TR

DEFECT: MECHANICAL DOOR LOCK ON 2004 HONDA ELEMENT FAILURE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM OF ONE OR MORE OF THE TUMBLERS NOT MOVING. I HAVE FOUND OVER 300+SPECIFIC EMAILS ON AUTOMOBILE PROBLEMS REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM (ELEMENT AND CRV) AND THE CORPORATION HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS AS A MECHANICAL DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE. BEING UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR COULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD RAPID ACCESS BE NEEDED. THIS IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. THE CORPORATE OFFICE DIRECTED ME TO THIS WEBSITE TO LODGE MY CONCERNS STATING THAT NHTSA DIRECTIVES WERE THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD RESPOND TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
ON 9/7/10 WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON I-15 SOUTH OF LAS VEGAS, NV THE RIGHT FRONT. PASSENGER AIRBAG ON MY 2006 HONDA ELEMENT INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR COLLISION OF ANY KIND. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT BLEW A HOLE THROUGH A BLANKET MY WIFE HAD WRAPPED AROUND HER INJURING HER RIGHT ARM AND SHOULDER. UPON RETURNING TO MY HOME IN VENTURA, CA I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN OXNARD, CA. THEY WERE VERY CIRCUMSPECT IN THEIR DISCUSSIONS WITH ME AND I WAS ASKED TO VISIT THEM ON 9/13/10 WITH ANY "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" I MAY HAVE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH SINCE THE INCIDENT IN QUESTION AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT OTHER INCIDENTS SUCH AS MIN E HAVE OCCURRED IN THE PAST AND HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO YOUR AGENCY, BUT WITH LITTLE OR NO RESULTS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NORTH AMERICAN HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THEIR AIRBAG SYSTEM(S). SO FAR AS I CAN TELL FROM MY RESEARCH NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED YET BY PREVIOUS INCIDENTS IN A HONDA ELEMENT SUCH AS MINE. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU CAN PUT AN "X" IN THE DEATH OR FATALITY BOX ON YOUR FORM. IT'S TIME YOUR AGENCY STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND DID SOMETHING TO FORCE HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA ELEMENT HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE IN JUNE 2010 RE; SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. BACK TO DEALER ON AUGUST 24 FOR RECURRING SOFT PEDAL ISSUE. DIAGNOSIS WAS AIR IN BRAKE SYSTEM. SYSTEM BLED AGAIN. BRAKE PEDAL FIRM FOR NOW. SERVICE MANAGER COULD NOT OFFER AN EXPLANATION OTHER THAN MAYBE WE DID NOT GET ALL THE AIR OUT DURING THE RECALL WORK. HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SAFETY DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODELS SINCE 2003. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FIX. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
DRIVING TO WORK AT 6:20AM ON 08/27/2010, WHILE EXITING THE 91 FREEWAY (GOING EASTBOUND) AND ENTERING THE 71N TOWARDS CHINO HILLS, MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED OUT OF NOWHERE. THE DEPLOYMENT (OR BETTER, THE EXPLOSION) HIT THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE, MY LEFT ARM AND JERKED MY HEAD TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE (TO THE RIGHT/PASSENGER SEAT). FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS PARTIALLY DEAF FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. NOW MY FACE AND ARM STING A LITTLE, MY NECK IS A LITTLE STIFF AND I'M STILL HEARING A LITTLE RING IN MY LEFT EAR. I CONTACTED HONDA'S CORPORATE OFFICE IN TORRANCE, CA AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS VERY LIKELY HONDA WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL BURDEN SINCE MY CAR IS A 2005 ELEMENT, PAST THE WARRANTY. TO THAT, ALL I HAVE TO SAY (OR ASK) IS: ONCE THE CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY, DOES THE MANUFACTURER CEASE TO HAVE RESPONSIBILITY OVER THE OVERALL SAFETY OF IT'S VEHICLES? TO ME IT SEEMS THAT IS THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, MY CAR WASN'T HIT OR IT DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, THAT MY AIRBAG SHOULDN'T DEPLOY. NOBODY HAS EVER TOLD ME THERE IS AN EXPIRATION DATE ON AN AIRBAG AND MY SEATS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION (AS IS THE REST OF MY CAR). ULTIMATELY, THIS DEPLOYMENT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE, AND I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. I WAS BLOWN IN THE FACE ON A MAJOR FREEWAY, IF I HAD LOST CONTROL DUE TO THE EXPLOSION I COULD HAVE SLAMMED MY CAR INTO A WALL OR ANOTHER CAR. *TR

PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT (ODI # 10321852) VIA EMAIL WITH NHTSA REGARDING THE "SOFT BRAKE PEDAL" ISSUE WITH MY 2008 HONDA ELEMENT. A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2010, THE WORK WAS PERFORMED IN JUNE 2010, A POSITIVE IMPROVEMENT. BRAKES ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY RETURNING TO THEIR PREVIOUS SOFT PEDAL DEFECT. I AM HAVING TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL ONE TIME TO GET A FIRM PEDAL. THIS DEFECT ON CERTAIN HONDA MODELS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2003. HONDA RE- ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN # 07-045 ON MARCH 5, 2009 REGARDING "BRAKE PEDAL IS LOW AND FEELS SOFT" COVERING CERTAIN MODELS FROM 2003-2008. APPARENTLY THERE WERE PREVIOUS SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED AS EARLY AS 2007, THE 07 IN THE ABOVE REFERENCED SERVICE BULLETIN (07-045) INDICATES 2007 ISSUE. I AM A RETIRED CAREER POLICE OFFICER WHO SPENT OVER HALF OF MY 25 YEAR CAREER IN THE TRAFFIC DIVISION INVESTIGATING TRAFFIC COLLISIONS INCLUDING THOSE INVOLVING FATALITIES. I CONSIDER THIS BRAKE PROBLEM A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, THAT COULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE UNLESS A PERMANENT REPAIR OR TOTAL RECALL OF THE AFFECTED HONDA VEHICLES IS REQUIRED BY NHTSA. HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAS NOT FOUND A PERMANENT REPAIR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY REPORTS REGARDING THIS DEFECT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSTS REGARDING THE SOFT BRAKE ISSUE @HTTP://WWW.ELEMENTOWNERSCLUB.COM UNDER THE THREAD TITLED RECALLS, TSB'S AND NOTICES. THANK YOU *TR
