I received a letter from Honda stating that my instrument panel may need to be replaced. I contacted renner Honda, columbus, Indiana where I purchased my Element SC new and told them that my gauges were falling out. They said they would order the panel and replace it. I never heard from them again and the time for replacement closed. Next, I received the brake recall notice and decided to try clarksville, in neil huffman Honda. They said they only did recalls during the week and if I needed a loaner vehicle to get back to work...that it would be $100/day and they would need my vehicle 2-3 days. I said so you are charging me for my inconvenience and they said that's our policy. So, I let that recall go. Here it is 2018, my gauges do not work at all and it looks like I'm doing 55 sitting still. My gas gauge is broke as well, my headlights are dim and my fans both quit working, part of the top panel has flown off--and my visor is broke. But, I did finally get Honda world, louisville, ky to replace the airbags and the brake recall. But, no dice on the instrument panel. I think that is wrong considering all the recalls on this by Honda. They will not budge on price yet there have been over 11 recalls on this vehicle and now I am stuck paying for the gauges, not to mention if the brakes had went out years ago...I could have been injured over clarksville neil huffman trying to charge me for a rental car! thanks to Honda world, but I will not recommend a Honda to anyone else considering all the complaints over the instrument panel, visors, lights, etc that I am reading on here. Shame on you Honda!
When im going more than 35 miles the car is trying to stop. The vsa & engine light is on and took it to mechanic but still have the same problem. I have seen a lot of persons with the same problem. The Odyssey has a recall with the same problem. Could you check if this a manufacturer problem. I can't drive my car am afraid something worst could happen. I had to buy another car and don't know what to do with the Element.
