The air bag stays on even after a the left air bag assembly replaced. There is a loud knocking front end which is worse when it is going about 15-30 miles.
2005 Honda Element suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The bushing that holds the left rear axel to the frame of my 2005 honda element fell apart and dropped the axel causing damage to the tire and wheel axel and other parts. Looking at the bushing after the fact, I can see where the two 1" stub bolts have worn the bushing in a oblong hole causing the bushing to fail. I do feel this is a design issue with all elements. Please check into this, as I'm almost afraid to drive this car as for it happening again.
Since the purchase of my new 2005 honda element ex, there has been a really loud noise coming from the suspension, both front and back. It mostly makes this noise when hitting a dip in the road, or coming into my driveway. It sounds as though someone is hitting there hands down on the keys of a piano. Also, this vehicle has been wearing tires at an alarming rate, for this is the second set of tires it has gone through within 27,000 miles. They were rotated as scheduled by the manufacturer, and the vehicle is in alignment. Also, I had a 2006 honda accord lx which was making the same noise, which the dealership failed to acknowledge. Also, I have friends with the honda odyssey van, ridgeline truck, all which are making the same noise and are wearing tires abnormally.
