Honda has failed to fix the two open recalls on my vehicle. I have contacted the dealer multiple times for repair and have been told that the parts were not available. I initially contacted the dealer in early January and was told it would be a few weeks until parts were available. I then called in February and was told it would be mid-March. Again the parts were not available. It has now been nearly 3 months since initial contact and the two recalls have not been corrected.

I visited the recall web site after hearing about the airbag concerns with my vehicle. I then made an appointment and had my drivers airbag/because of a recall, replaced on Nov 26, 2014. I requested a vehicle for the day since the recall is not a personal problem but a problem of the manufacture. I was denied a day use car. I was told that day that the passengers airbag was on backorder, I have since contacted the dealer who did not return my call. I then went to the dealer web site an E-mailed them my concerns. Someone did call me and stated that the airbags were on backorder. I am very concerned that it is taking so long to get my passengers airbags replaced. I am also concerned that the local dealer does not return phone calls. Local dealer is Honda of fort myers fl.

Happened in nyc, afternoon, weather drizzling/raining and humid. Slid on an oil slick on the road, swerved sideways and hit an exit ramp concrete barrier full front (w/ my front against it, perpendicular to the barrier). Passenger side airbag deployed, mine did not. The thing is, I was the only person in the car, there was no passenger in the passenger seat. Car was always driven in NY, I am original owner. Didn't report it earlier bec news always said it's only an issue w/ cars in the South, and Element didn't appear in the recall lists in the papers (only saw it listed this minute on the gov site, after hearing so much talk about it on the news and decided to check). I think the car manuf's should have notified all owners of that airbag of the possibility of an issue, even if they didn't live in the South, just in case, it's not expensive to do, just a stamp. Anyway, that's my feeling.

The SRS warning light came on. About 3 weeks later Honda issued a partial recall on 2003 Element airbags. I called Honda and was told my vehicle was not covered. In looking into the recall I see that it is for vehicles in hotter climates. I think it should be extended to all climates.

In my 2003 Element I hit a 500 pound cow in the road at between 50-60 mph from the center of my car to the drivers side. The front fender where the airbag sensor is located was destroyed, as was the hood and bumper. The police were all surprised the airbags hadn't deployed. I contacted Honda, the insurance company, and the body shop to inform them of the fact that the airbags didn't deploy in such an accident, and no one seemed overly concerned other than the police and myself.

My son was involved in a serious multiple rollover accident in our 2003 Honda Element two days ago. There was not one portion of the vehicle (including the front) that was not severely impacted and yet both the sheriff and tow truck driver were very concerned because none of the airbags ever deployed.
