1 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2007 Honda Element

Failure Date: 05/11/2018

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!.

2007 Honda Element. Consumer writes in regards to the instrument cluster. The consumer stated as she was backing out of the driveway the rpm in the instrument cluster fell out. The next day, as she pulled out of the driveway, the temperature and speed needles fell out. The consumer went to get gas, and after filling the tank, the gauge only showed 1/2 tank. The consumer believed the gas needed would eventually fall out, too.

4 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2003 Honda Element

Failure Date: 05/01/2012

The dashboard light of the Honda Element goes dark intermittently. At the beginning I thought this was an isolated event - but found hundreds of complaints about the same issue on internet forums. I have taken my car to the dealership and the problem is so inconsistent that they are unable to diagnose it. From reading the complaint of the other Element owners it seems that the problem is with the electrical wiring system of the Elements. I request the NHTSA to perform a detailed investigation into this -as this poses a serious risk with the instruments cluster failing randomly.

Needle on gas gauge popped out and is now resting at the bottom of the plastic enclosure - at the same time that the needle on the gas gauge popped out - the tachometer ceased working and the needle now points at what would be six o'clock - the simultaneous failure occurred after a brutal cold spell.
