My 2004 element light came on while driving one day. I had it serviced by a mechanic with set belt replacement. Did not help with the light came back on. Had it looked at by someone else who told me it was the airbag sensors. I really don"t want to keep spending money but it failed inspection because of this along with my driver side seat that is rocking. Driving and coming to a stop with any type of force causes the seat to jump forward. Even if I am sitting and if I move around my seat will move. Is there any type of permanent fixes for these problems. Our daughter loves her element but, these are major issues for our family as they are and can have serious problems now and in the future
While driving on a two lane highway, at highway speeds, the driver side,side airbag (the driver seat) deployed for no reason. It frightened me and caused me to swerve into the oncoming traffic lane, fortunately no cars were around me at the time and I was able to pull over and regain my composure. I shiver when I think of how badly this might have gone if opposing traffic was there at the time! A day later my left arm still hurts from deployment. My granddaughter was in the car with me at the time of incident.

Passenger side airbag deployed while I was driving. I was driving about 55-60 on a paved highway. The estimate for repairs is over 3000. Honda took all the info and was supposedly going to get back to me. Many unreturned phone calls later, I have nothing to show for this except a recall notice covering other airbags. Of course at this point, none of my airbags are functioning; thus there is no point in complying with the recall notice. The date below is approximate. The honda dealer looked at the problem and gave me an estimate on 5-31-16. The mileage on the next page is also approximate. My contact # at honda is 310‑781‑5259. Rio graciously gave me his direct line, then did not return any calls.

As a result, I called honda of bowie, md asking if they could accomplish the repair and asked if they had the required parts in stock. They replied affirmative, so an appointment with the service center was scheduled for 6 february. My 2004 element was delivered to the service center for the air bag (driver and passenger) replacement. They were only able to replace the drivers airbag - turns out that the passenger components were not in stock. I was assured that honda of bowie would call when they arrived. The service manager informed me that parts were on back order and expected shortly. Beginning in march I have made at least four telephone calls to the parts department asking about the back order and always receive the same response - should be here shortly.
