Honda Element 2003 Structure Body Bumpers Review #10023213

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 06, 2003.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS . we purchased a honda element and within 6 hours i foolishly rear-ended a vechicle from a complete stop at a traffic signal when the light turned green. it was a very low speed (3-5 mph maximum) collision however the subsequent damage was astounding, my element basically does not seem to have any front bumper support, rather appears to have two beams protruding from the front of the car, that look like they should have something horizontal between them but they do not. one of the beams impaled the car ahead of me stabbing thru its bumper into the vehicle slightly bending the metal below the bumper. my element ended up with $1786.00 in damage. the plastic bumper cover (that has no bumper support beneath it) shattered and the single point impact allowed my car to somehow destroy the condenser, radiater, and frame that supports the condenser. i have involved honda of my concerns and they are telling me that the element is designed to not have a horizontal bumper support in the front of the car. my question remains how is the vehicle engineered to be safe if there is not supposed to be anything there to distribute the force in the case of a higher-than-3-5mph collision? i noticed that you have released steller front collision ratings on this vehicle, it would help me tremendosly if you could confirm that this particular design makes sense. i am currently too nervous to drive the vehicle and have left it (repaired back to it's original no bumper support form) at the dealership. please oh please oh please respond so we can put this behind us and move on. we do have photos on disc if that would help my words make sense. thank you so much, diane munizza goodnight. *jb.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 64 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 09, 2003.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . this is a 2003 honda element, purchased may 22nd, 2003. the mileage is now 752 miles.i am currently in the process of having the windshield replaced for the second time. the first replacement was at 150 miles on the odometer. both were because of damage from small stone chips that would not normally damage the glass on most other vehicles. the 733 miles i have driven this car was on paved urban local roads at speeds between 35 and 50 mph. it appears to me that one of, or both of, the following, could be responsible factors: a) the windshield glass is possibly thinner and mor fragile than others. b) the aerodynamics of this vehicle possibly causes a higher rate of debris hits to the windshield area than other vehicles. whatever the cause, i would consider it a safety issue warranting investigation. additionally, if the trend were to continue, requiring windshield replacements, who could afford the maintenance on this vehicle? *ak .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 748 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 03, 2003.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . my windshield has a tiny 1mm spot where a tiny pebble must have hit it and from that i now have a 18" crack stretching from the lower left hand corner to the center of the windshield. i'm certain that the tiny spot would not have spread into that size of a crack if there wasn't so much stress placed on the windshield by the "uneven windshield flange surface" that honda itself admits to on their service bulletin 03-028. my element vin #falls into the range on the service bulletin but honda will not cover it because of the impact that started the crack. i've had rocks hit other vehicles i've owned and they have never spread into a crack, much less one this size. if honda element owners have to replace their windshield everytime a pebble hits it, our insurance companies will end up raising our rates. honda needs to come to a resolution to this problem. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2500 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 24, 2004.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . i purchased a 2003 honda element in oct-03 and currently have 4400 miles on the vehicle. on 1-24-04 a very small pebble "nicked" my windshield ( no star) at the base ( just under the drivers side windshield wiper blade) causing a windshield crack that has grown to about 12 inches in length. i have driven vehicles over 35 years and have never had this experience with such a minor pebble hit. i checked the honda website - see tech advisory( 03-028) but honda authorizations are only for windshield cracked without any type of impact. i don't buy honda's explanation. glass stress is just that & stress on glass that is not properly installed, fitted, or designed will lead to cracks from minor impacts at a higher rate. i visited the http://www.hondaelement.org/showthread.php website and noted that 25 to 30 % of new element owner complaints had to do with cracked windshields. in some cases owner had already replaced their windshields twice ($500.00 a pop). honda's current policy is to side step the problem. this is unacceptable. this is a brand new vehicle and honda has a responsibility to step up and work to solve the problem. i am also greatly concerned about having the windshield replaced before the problem is identified and solved. there are also a number of problems reported on the web site noted above regarding problems with improper installation/fit of new windshields (several attempts, persistent rattles, & cracks) after replacement. if honda isn't going to step up - someone ( hopefully nhtsa) will. accordingly, i am surprised at honda's "head in the sand" attitude about this issue. i would like to receive feedback from nhtsa on the evolution of this problem if that is within your policy. *jb.Mileage was 4100 miles.

Honda Element 2003 Visibility Glass, Side/rear Review #10060087

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 07, 2004.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR . defective windshield. these were actually two events in february, 2004. about 2-3 weeks apart. both involve what appear to be stress fractures of windshield. each emanates from the very bottom of windshield below the wiper cowl on outer windshield. both rise directly vertical upward about three inches then veer toward side pillars. both near center of windshield. first one was towards passeger side and veered to passenger pillar. second one was towards driver side and veered to driver pillar. dealer claims tiny fleck in each line near bottom of windshield and behind wiper arm mechanism/blade is rock hit and is cause and will not warranty. both of these happenned in the mountains during freezing temperatures. i suspected that windhield washer fluid was collecting between the outer wiper cowl and base of winshield and freezing/expanding and causing fracture lines. no "star" effect normally associated with rockhits. my second suspicion is that the curve in the lower windhield is in opposition to the staightness of the upper windhield and causing stress on bottom of windshield. if those are rock hits at the bottom (and not flakeage from the effect of the cracks) they should have never cause these significant fracture lines or any crack at all. in fact i never heard a rock hit and the second crack happenned while my vehicle was parked in a ski area parking lot and the crack was not there when i parked the car but was fully 8-12 inches long when i returned. honda has either a defective design or perhaps that urethane rimming the window has something to do with it. either way they need to warranty lifetime free glass replacement or fix this defect. this is likely to happen again after i replace this windshield. compel honda to rectify this matter please.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5J6YH28513L.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 21, 2004.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . i bought a 2003 honda element in december of 2003. a few days after picking up the brand new car, i discovered a 4" crack on my windshield. the cracked started from a very small pinpoint speck on the right side of the windshield in the black area. i contacted the dealer, but they said it's not covered by warranty since the crack was caused by road debris, regardless of how small that debris may be. two months after that, i discovered a 3" crack on the left side of the windshield. again, the cracked started with a pinpoint on the black area of the windshield. i called the windshield experts in my area, who informed me that they've been replacing an overwhelming number of windshields on honda elements. armed with this information, i contacted honda customer relations. the representative denied any issues with windshields on the elements and refused to provide information on whether they have received similar complaints. the most she could do was submit a complaint on my behalf (complaint number n012004-04-2100773). windshields are expensive to replace and honda needs to own up to this prevalent problem with the windshields on the elements. they need to provide a solution.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5J6YH28503L.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2003.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . the problem is with the windshield. i have had to replace it twice since january and it needs to be replaced again due to cracks. i checked around and i am not the only one with this problem. it seems that the windshield in the element is very susceptable to cracks due to the flange creating too much stress which renders the glass very prone to cracking by road debris. i got hit by a tiny pebble which should never have cracked the glass. and in my 18 years of driving various vehicles, i have never, ever had this type of problem, so i know it is not just "bad luck" as the dealer has told me..Mileage was 4000 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 27, 2005.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD . my 2003 honda element has developed a stress crack in the lower right corner in that is similar that reported by hundreds of element owners. this occured while the vehicle was parked and is consistent with the description of a honda tsb addressing cracked windsheilds due to a manufacturing defect. two honda dealerships arrogantly dismissed it as being caused by a pebble chip; however the alleged "chip" was a small pit the size of a grain of sand. the first dealer indicated he located a small dicontinuity in the path of the crack that was pin sized. the second dealership alleged that he located six pinholes, none of which were visable to me or detected by the first dealerhip! the inspection technique and resulting dismissal of the claim appeared to be coached from some honda factory issued directive to avoid documentation of this widespread defect. dozens of website postings are available which documents similar experiences with many also describing the alleged detection of a pinhead size pit on the surface of the crack directly under the windshield wiper arm. it is obvious that honda is attempting to cover up this defect to avoid a recall or a"secret warranty" situation.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 16897 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 12, 2009.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . my son was driving our 2003 honda element to his internship as he has done many times. as he began up a hill and around a curve that turns sharply to the left, he heard a loud crack. the car veered off of the road slightly to the right, less than an inch dropoff. when he tried to steer the car to the left, the steering wheel would not move the car. as the curve in the road began to end, the car moved quickly to the left but still would not respond to the steering wheel. it ran off the road to the left and went into a ditch about 18 inches deep. then, apparently the right wheel bent up under the car. the wheel broke in two, as did the rotor. the wheel then dug into the pavement and cut a groove into the pavement about 8 feet long. apparently this rapid slowing down of the right side, coupled with the continued movement of the left side of the car, projected the car out of the ditch and caused it to roll over twice and land on its roof. the airbags never deployed. my son was able to disengage the seatbelt and lower himself down onto the roof and get out of the shattered driver side window. he was uninjured except for some small shards of glass in his right hand and forearm. when we looked at the underside of the car, we saw that the right front axle was snapped in two at the transmission. both the wheel and the rotor were broken in half. the car was declared "totaled." my concern is that whatever snapped or cracked initially rendered the car unsteerable. i would like an investigation that might perhaps prevent such a thing happening to anyone else. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 120000 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 06, 2004.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . the door locks on the honda element are faulty. so faulty in fact that a year after the elements were advertised, a technical service bulletin (06-068) was issued for "door lock cylinder binds". this tsb applied to 2003-2004 civics, 2002-2003 cr-v, 2003 elements. the tsb includes the affected vin numbers. once the door cylinder stops working you cannot gain entry into the vehicle through the affected door. for me it was the drivers door and i was forced to enter the vehicle via the passenger door. the honda site stated that you should contact the dealer and ask for re numeration as this was a known failure. the honda dealer local to me stated that since it wasn't a recall they wouldn't "give me a break" on the cost to fix the problem. honda should be made accountable since they knew this was a problem. the safety issue here lies in the fact that you can't enter your vehicle quickly in a dangerous situation. climbing over seats is certainly not a safe thing to do either. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 23000 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2004.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . there is a definite breakdown with the brake calipers. i am not a mechanic but realized the fast deterioration of the calipers and have not heard of that problem with other vehicles. i was told to replace the brake rotors and pads and i have several times but the brakes were never the same. the vehicle has trouble stopping with new brakes. i flushed the brake fluid with official honda brake fluid and recently noticed the issue is with the calipers. they are rusty and the metal flakes off and the pistons do not function properly on any of the brakes. some brakes don't fully brake and one rear caliper is stuck while driving so the pads are on the rotor while driving. i hope that makes sense, the calipers are to squeeze and release and they never have soon after i got the vehicle new. i am disappointed with the honda dealers i have taken it to, before knowing that the problem is with deteriorated calipers. the vehicle was never in a flood or anything like that. i can't imagine i'm the only owner with that problem and i didn't know where to file a complaint earlier or what a caliper was. i would like it investigated and recalled if necessary. thank you. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 25000 miles.

HONDA ELEMENT 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 12, 2012.HONDA ELEMENT 2003, manufactured by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . the driver side lock stopped working from the outside. first the alarm and automatic door lock stopped working. it would arm and unarm the alarm and unlock the back and side door but not the driver side door. that was annoying but i have the key and would then just unlock the driver side door but the lock would stick and not allow the key to turn. i would then have to take the key out and try again. over a few weeks it got worse and worse eventually not allowing the key to even completely enter. it would also get stuck in the locked position and i would have to manually unlock it to get out. eventually it stopped working all together. to get in i would have to unarm the alarm and from the passenger side use an umbrella to reach access the seats to manually unlock the door. i would then have to walk around the car to get in. i would also have to manually lock the door before driving as it would not lock on its own. to get out i would have to do the whole process again but in reverse order. if i locked the door with the door open it would not shut completely. it progressively got worse over about a year. i had it repaired almost two years ago and have not had issues since. i did not have to change keys, electronic locks, or alarms. this was some time ago so i do not remember what they had to do to fix it but i remember it not being cheep and taking much of the day as they had to take the door apart. i am not sure if the dealer or my regular repair place fixed it but more information can be requested from them if needed. the repair guys had not mentioned this being an issue with 2003 honda elements but after seeing multiple reports on here i decided to add my information for more context and details in how the problem started and advanced..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Honda Element 2003 problem was reported in COPPELL, TX.
