Element

  • 55,000 miles
Honda Element (2006) has a power window regulator failure, driver's side (front left). Diagnosed as a problem with the window regulator cable. Repair expected to be around $300 - $400 at a local repair shop ($500 plus at the dealership). This same Honda Element has a cracked windshield that spontaneously cracked while driving down a toll road with no other cars within 20 car lengths and no visible rocks or other objects in the roadway. Honda Accord (1998) has all four windows with power window regulator failure. Each repair is just under $500 with tax at the dealership.

I have a 2006 Honda Element. The last few months I've had to replace both power side windows because the window regulator 'came apart.' The car is only 3 years old and for both windows to stop working around the same time makes me think it's a manufacturing situation.
