Honda Element 2005 Structure Body DoorHonda Element 2005 Structure Body Door Review #10125370 HONDA ELEMENT 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2005.HONDA ELEMENT 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR . i have recently purchased a honda element vin# [xxx]. not until last week did i or a passenger sit in the back seat. we became aware of the potential danger that the door design presents. you can not open the back door unless the front door is opened first.the "suicide doors" do not allow exit from the back seats (not the original "suicide door" design). this design flaw is a major safety concern. i was not made aware of this design flaw at the time of purchase. ...scroll down....the system is not working properly... 1. how could anyone get out of the back seat in an emergency? 2. what would a child do in case of driver incapacitation? an adult might be able to crawl over the driver to the front door, but a child would be at a disadvantage in the back. 3. there is no emergency release handle on the back hatch door to access from the inside. 4. the little wing windows on the back doors could be kicked out in an emergency, but a child would never be able to do so. 5.what would passengers do if the car were to plummet into a waterway? how could anyone escape from the back....which is what is left floating... 6. there is no warning sign in the car indicating that the back doors do not open unless the front door is open. how much time, valuable time might be lost as a passer-by attempts a rescue and does not know the doors do not open? perhaps then, a sign, like in airplanes, could be posted both inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle indicating that there is no exit through the back doors. or, a recal put inplace to put in a quick release emergency access window. please address this concern to the appropriate departments. i look forward to a reply. thank you, [xxx] *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):5J6YH18395L.

Honda Element 2005 EngineHonda Element 2005 Engine Review #10563309 HONDA ELEMENT 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 02, 2013.HONDA ELEMENT 2005, manufactured by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) had a problem with ENGINE . this issue has occurred multiple times over the course of a two month time frame. on cold mornings, within the first five minutes of driving the car, the car just shuts off, leaving me without brakes, steering, or acceleration. this would require me to take out the key and restart the engine. no error codes are being generated and the air/heat as well as radio continues to work. this has become quite a dangerous situation because the other vehicles are unaware i cannot move the car and the randomness of when this occurs. there is no pattern to it, although it will only happen within the first 5 minutes of driving the car and it will happen when in acceleration or deceleration. my dealership was unable to recreate this issue even after keeping it a couple days. i hope this issue can be figured out, fixed, and recalled so that i can feel safe again when driving my car. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 130000 miles.
