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 warning light stays on. Dealer indicates that the problem is a weight sensor. Dealer stated that seat belt issues and airbag issues were warranted by Honda. Dealer indicated that the weight sensor issue, which is used to deploy the airbag is not warranted. If seatbelts and airbags are warranted, why would the weight sensors that are an integral part of the srs not be warranted? dealer has estimated the cost of repairs at $1,240. 47. Part to complete the repair is not available at this time. Per the dealer, it has been ordered with shipping date tbd.

My 2005 Honda Element constantly display airbag off, when it's inaccurate, dashboard light doesn't work. There's some kind of shortage because it blinks, come on and go off and stay off. It shows the same information, rather driving or stationary. Are there recalls on this car? it's been one problem after another.

The air bag stays on even after a the left air bag assembly replaced. There is a loud knocking front end which is worse when it is going about 15-30 miles.

In a parking lot moving slowly. I was the only one in the car. The air bag on the rear of the passanger seat deployed. Nothing was hit or was I hit by anything. The seat was moved forward as far as possible because I had something in the back.

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

Car was parked in a pullout on the side of a highway. Slamming rear driver's side door caused driver's seat airbag deployment. No collision occurred.

Takata recall: this is regarding a 2007 Honda Element. We have not owned this vehicle since 2007, and probably traded it on another car. It's bern such a long time, we do not remember which dealer we dealt with. We have received numerous recall notices from Honda, and each time, by phone or response card, have informed them that we no longer own the car. Please update your records, and take us off of the notification list. We will no longer respond to notices regarding this car. It's annoying that Honda is unable to update their records with our numerous contacts with them. Thank you.

Air bag replaced around Aug. 1, 2016. I believe the air bag was not installed properly as it rattles inside the dashboard. Rattles while in motion.

My daughter was driving her 2005 Honda Element around 50mph and hit a small pot hole and then heard a loud bang. After seeing smoke she immediately pulled over and checked the car and found no outside damage. When getting back in still seen and smelled smoke and noticed passenger front airbag was deployed. How does an airbag deploy without a front or side impact?.

Daughter was driving on a highway with stop and go traffic and hit the car in front of her. The passenger air bag went off, which we had fixed on a recall notice years before. However the driver air bag did not go off. My daughter went forward and it affected her jaw. We are concerned that the driver airbag did not even go off to protect her. The police even commented on it. Her car may be unfixable we will know soon. We want to report this for others safety.

This is to report air bag deployment while driving. Had to brake to avoid tree branch. No damage to car other than the tore sit and opening of bag. I had damage to right side of arm being that it happened on driver side. I am concerned that this might happen to other vehicles as well. My car is a bit old, but in good working conditions we have taken care of it. However, should I be worry that this might happen again. I have been reading some of the postings in websites and it seems to happen often. I would advise NHTSA to look into it. Please keep us informed and if ever there is a recall please inform the public.

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.

Seat belt light won't turn off.

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.

2007 Honda Element. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair airbags.

Takata recall : after servicing our Honda vehicle today, there is a warning not to allow a passenger in the front seat, and they cannot or will not repair/replace the dangerous airbag. Why can they not disable it until they can replace or remove it? how can I use this auto for my family if it's dangerous?.
