My cars has been hesitating when driven and stalling, I replaced the battery, then it stalled two more times. I brought the car to the casey dealership they put in on the computer and test drove the car they could not duplicate the problem and informed me it may be my fuel pump but the engine is not throwing a code so I was basically told to wait until the car will no longer start then they can diagnose the problem. 7-27-14 the car has stalled on me three times today I sent for tow truck to tow it back to the dealership the tow truck driver just wanted to see if it would start and it did of course. So now I am back to waiting for it to stall again and not let anyone attempt to start the car.

2006 Honda Element had a gas leak only after being five months old. Honda said that they have not seen this occur before however this is the second brand new Honda that I have had issues with. I had to breath in gas fumes for two months while Honda tried to figure where the gas was coming from.
