Element 4-cyl

  • 101,000 miles
The car shut down while driving and came to an instant stop. The first time this happened the vehicle shut down completely while pulling into a business. Thankfully there was no one behind me. It has been maybe a year from the first incident and now the car will flash off and on within a nano second while driving at different speeds and also while coming to a stop and turning corners. The headlights also dim at different times while driving. This is very scary and will eventually cause an accident. I will be making an appointment with the local dealer asap. I am hoping that by getting the ignition recall completed this will fix the issue.

Took a well maintained 1994 Element we had owned since new to the Honda dealer for maintenance and was informed that the block was cracked and had been seeping coolant for a long time. This cracked block was undoubtedly a hazardous manufacturing defect requiring expensive repair and replacement.
