general problems of the 2003 Honda Element

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Element. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v370000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall repair was completed. The contact stated that the vehicle was at the dealer for a week for the recall repair. The contact stated that while the vehicle was still at the dealer, the vehicle was started, and the air bag warning light illuminated. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that a diagnostic test was needed to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

While driving on a rough road the driver's seat airbag deployed injuring my arm (big bruise and tennis-ball size laceration). I plan to take the vehicle into the dealership to find out why this happened.

Seems Honda is hiding specific VIN needing recal replacement of airbag fue to fact it's deployed. Attempt to cover up recall regarding this specific VIN possibly aware that damage is done and if airbag deployed, VIN check results "no current recalls" for vehicle. 2003 Honda Element had first recall replacement done. At that time Honda had person come to house to notify. This time, second recall, too late. It deployed and air bag is on recall list. Please provide honest facts. Correct me please if I misunderstood.

Airbag lights keeps turning on and off and has now stayed on permanently. This is a safety issue if airbags fail to deploy.

Takata recall: I sold this vehicle (2003 Honda Element) in early 2011. When the airbags were recalled, I began receiving notices form Honda about the recall. I have returned the mailings and also called the 800 number (at least 4 times in total), each time letting them know that I no longer own the vehicle. I continue to receive recall notices, despite notifying them that I am not the owner. This would point to the fact that the actual owner of the car is not receiving notices. If Honda is not accurately updating their database, owners at risk from this recall may be oblivious to it.

Takata recall, received notice of this recall in July, 7 2016, mechanicsville Honda contacted and part was ordered 7/7/16. Never received notice to return to dealership to replaced defective part under recall. Received second recall notice 3/27/17.

I received notice in late June 2016 regarding the recall, and called at the beginning of July, scheduled an appointment for July 13, 2016. I received a call on the day of the appointment from the dealer saying they did not have the parts to fix the recall. I was told they would call me back when parts were available. I called in August and again on September 22, 2016 and I received the same response. On the recall it suggests for no one to ride in the passenger's seat until the air bag is replaced. I feel that we are approaching 90 days with no resolution is a bit too long.

Takata recall: I have received a recall notice for this vehicle. I note that the dealer is required to address the issue within 60 days of an appointment date. Our dealership is garcia Honda in albuquerque nm. Over the last two weeks I have tried numerous times to schedule an appointment. When I call I am forwarded to a number which rings, and rings, and rings. . . . And no one ever picks up. Seems inappropriate to try to get around the 60 day requirement by never allowing someone to schedule an appointment.

Takata recall. At less than speed limit of 35 mph, vehicle encountered icy conditions on hill, and vehicle rolled approximately 100 feet off of road into gently graded area. Vehicle was able to drive straight out without any significant body damage, yet airbags both deployed upon exiting the road, most likely due to rolling over a small curb before leaving roadway. This was a city street, early in the morning of March 23, 2016, with my licensed and insured 16 year old daughter driving. But for the airbag deployment she would have driven away without incident, but dual deployment resulted in burns to her jacket and right arm and a laceration to her left knee due to her reaction to the unexpected deployment. I believe the airbag initiators were overly sensitive or on a hair trigger. Estimated speed at time of deployment is 25mph or less. Vehicle was previously owned and registered in new mexico and apparently in storage for a period where it would have been extremely hot and/or humid at times, but at time of incident was owned and registered in north dakota. Police and insurance reports are pending at this time. Police, insurance and ambulance reports would not even exist but for shock of airbag deployment as there was no impact, no other vehicles involved, and no tickets issued or driving cited.

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 vivisted 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 problme 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 concernd 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 dearler is Honda of fort myers FL.

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.
