Weeks after purchasing this vehicle new from the dealer. It began to leak transmission fluid. I took it to the dealer with the complaint. They said they'd take a look at it, but it was a waste of time. They claimed it could not possibly be leaking and any fluid I saw was condensation from the ac. The gave it back to me in a few hours claiming it was fine and again said the fluid was condensation. I argued and said it was oily. They claimed this was because my garage floor was oily. The response to me was: "I'm so confident it is water I'll come over and lick of the garage floor. New cars don't leak. " well, it did leak and loads of transmission fluid. I had to mop up the fluid and return with the soaked rag and the vehicle to get them to take a closer look. I had to have an entirely new transmission installed. This is my 4th Honda. I've never had so many problems with a vehicle as I've had with this Element. I've only had it 3 months now. Very disappointing.
