problem #3

Jan 012006

Element 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 30,000 miles
Cracked windshield on the passenger side, broken driver's side visor and a horn that has one broken pitch, leaving the pitch very low, almost not noticeable. It has been that way for a year, but did not find this site until now. Too expensive to repair.
