The contact owns a 2005 Honda Element. While driving 65 mph, the contact observed a crack in the front windshield 7 or 8 months after the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle was purchased in 10/2005. The current mileage was 35,000, and the failure mileage was 15,000. The windshield has not been repaired.
My 2005 Honda Element windshield just cracked. Nothing hit it, the windshield just cracked. It now has two significant cracks from the edge of the windshield across.
I have owned my Honda Element for two weeks now....first time on the freeway going around 65-70 miles per hour. At a substantial following distance recieved one chip and one large ding/crack in my windshield from oncoming debris--all within the space of one half hour. Researched internet only to find that among other complaints there is a class action lawsuit pending right now about this very design flaw in the Honda Element--many suggest it can be fixed by Honda simply reinforcing the glass and flattening the flanges around the windshield to prevent the inordinate amount of dings and cracking. I contacted my dealer and they said it was my problem--but ive done more research only to find that Honda has sent tsb's out to many dealers advising them to fix this problem for the 2003-2004 models. My dealer tells me they can't help me.
