Element

  • 14,500 miles
2007 Honda Element mushy brakes. During test driving of the vehicle to current daily driving, brakes have been and still are mushy with one incident of fully depressing to the floor for vehicle to stop. As of current there have been 4 mishaps where sudden stops were required and vehicle brakes failed to operate properly resulting in near miss occurrences. Had there not been proper time and distance between vehicles a crash or fatality could have been imminent. Vehicle was purchased pre-owned Honda certified under warranty and several complaints filed at local dealerships with no repairs or corrections made. Vehicle in my opinion is deemed unsafe and sits in our driveway only to be driven short distances. Example 2007 Element, current odometer reading 15K.
