The rear trailing arm mounts rust right off the car and the entire piece falls off out of nowhere. I was lucky to be going about 10 mph when this happened to me and it slide the car sideways.I have no doubt I would have flipped at highway speeds. I-€™ve seen hundreds of other elements with the same issues on forums it-€™s bad enough that in Canada they have a buyback. The police where there quickly and saw it and said the same but. Insurance won-€™t do anything cause it-€™s a part that broke. Away from the body and I was going slow enough. No warning even had tires installed a few days prior and they didn-€™t see anything that was scary.

As I was driving down the interstate, I heard a slight rattling sound. I then saw the left side windshield molding garnish completely break off of my car and fly into the road. I inspected the part and noticed that the plastic brackets that held it together were worn out from normal wear and tear, and became weak. This created a road hazard that nearly hit the vehicle behind me, and I was not in a spot where I could slow down and retrieve the part without causing a greater traffic hazard myself, as this occurred during rush hour.

Despite normal maintenance and care the paint hood of my car began cracking. The cracking continues to spread. After some research I learned this is a common problem with certain Honda vehicles, including my '08 Element. One example: www.hondaproblems.com/trends/peeling-paint/ Honda wipes their hands clean of this despite knowingly putting faulty paint and clear coat on their vehicles. This is unfair business practice and swindles consumers.
