I have owned my honda element for two weeks now....first time on the freeway going around 65-70 miles per hour. At a substantial following distance recieved one chip and one large ding/crack in my windshield from oncoming debris--all within the space of one half hour. Researched internet only to find that among other complaints there is a class action lawsuit pending right now about this very design flaw in the honda element--many suggest it can be fixed by honda simply reinforcing the glass and flattening the flanges around the windshield to prevent the inordinate amount of dings and cracking. I contacted my dealer and they said it was my problem--but ive done more research only to find that honda has sent tsb's out to many dealers advising them to fix this problem for the 2003-2004 models. My dealer tells me they can't help me.
