problem #2

Element EX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

The paint started peeling almost immediately after I purchased the car. It's much worse on the drivers side.

problem #1

Element ES

  • 10,000 miles

Not only did the paint blister, Honda would not do anything, they claimed rock chips....3 body shops said it was a paint problem. A month later we noticed the center console had blistered paint.

Once again Honda would not cover it. Apparently we carry acid around in our vehicle and spill it on the dash.. IDIOTS. The complaint department would not get involved because the service manager

said it wasn't a defect. What the hell good is a warranty when they won't pay the 40$ + installation for the console. As of now the rear hatch is fixed but i still have a screwed up console.

It isn't a problem with the vehicle unless they hear from other people, isn't one enough?
