I received a letter from honda stating that my instrument panel may need to be replaced. I contacted renner honda, columbus, indiana where I purchased my element sc new and told them that my gauges were falling out. They said they would order the panel and replace it. I never heard from them again and the time for replacement closed. Next, I received the brake recall notice and decided to try clarksville, in neil huffman honda. They said they only did recalls during the week and if I needed a loaner vehicle to get back to work...that it would be $100/day and they would need my vehicle 2-3 days. I said so you are charging me for my inconvenience and they said that's our policy. So, I let that recall go. Here it is 2018, my gauges do not work at all and it looks like I'm doing 55 sitting still. My gas gauge is broke as well, my headlights are dim and my fans both quit working, part of the top panel has flown off--and my visor is broke. But, I did finally get honda world, louisville, ky to replace the airbags and the brake recall. But, no dice on the instrument panel. I think that is wrong considering all the recalls on this by honda. They will not budge on price yet there have been over 11 recalls on this vehicle and now I am stuck paying for the gauges, not to mention if the brakes had went out years ago...I could have been injured over clarksville neil huffman trying to charge me for a rental car! Thanks to honda world, but I will not recommend a honda to anyone else considering all the complaints over the instrument panel, visors, lights, etc that I am reading on here. Shame on you honda!

Tachometer and speedometer needles randomly fell off. I was just driving down the road, and the tachometer needle fell off, and about a week later, the speedometer needle did the same. I took off the bezel and it seems that the plastic shaft that holds the needle in place was cracked in several places, that negatively affected its ability to hold on to the metal shaft in the cluster. This is nothing that was done to the car, this is a manufacturer's defect. This should be covered under recall, since I can't drive the car and know exactly how fast I'm going.
