Honda Element Visibility problems by year

I had arrived home on 7/17/2025 and was sitting in my parked vehicle under my carport talking on the phone when I heard a very loud bang. I was disoriented and worried that my safety may be at risk, so I asked the person I was speaking to if they would stay on the line with me until I made it inside. I stepped out of the vehicle and was walking around the back of it when I noticed the rear quarter panel window on the passenger side was completely shattered. There was glass on the outside and inside of my vehicle,...

Driver side window regulator went out. Window dropped down on it's own.

The front passenger window regulator went out. Window dropped down into the door panel.

Sun visor will not stay up and is blocking visibility of the road ahead. After looking online I see that this is an ongoing issue with similar models of honda. It should be a safety recall for honda as it may cause an accident. *Js

The driver side, front window spontaneously exploded in on me while driving on the highway. There was no evidence that any object struck the window. It just exploded. *Js

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda element. The contact stated that there was a crack in the windshield. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.

I was mowing my lawn when the lawn-mower kicked up a small (less than 1.5 Cm diameter) pebble and threw it into the rear window. The entire window shattered, the sides fell out, the middle cracked all the way across. You could see a small white area(size of a dime) where the impact was, it was nowhere near where the glass fell out. Then about 1 hour later the entire window fell out. Normal glass should have been able to withstand, perhaps chip or crack, but not blow out the entire window. This was defective glass. Also, this is a 2011 honda element, not a 2010, but that was the only option on the site. *Tr

2/27/10 Purchased new honda element, delivered with windshield chips, dealer subcontracted. New windshield install & gave guarantee of customer satisfaction. Took delivery 3/8/10, noted excessive dash/windshield rattle. Called dealer next day-was asked to 'monitor through summer mos. As rattle would 'settle'. It only got worse. Contacted dealer several times over summer & was assured if problem persisted they would 'stand behind it until it was done right'. Returned. To dealer for 'repair' 3 times 11/15/10,...

Stress crack appeared on windshield directly opposite rear view mirror. Crack begins above area of windshield exposed to outside air, extends straight down for several inches, then veers left several inches and stops. Nothing hit the windshield and there is no impact point along the crack. Iphone camera picture was taken by service manager, copy submitted to honda for review. Honda declined responsibility. No paperwork generated. *Tr

While standing next to our 2008 honda element, which was parked beside our house under the carport, the rear side window of the car spontaneously shattered and struck both my wife and I with glass. We were not injured by the safety glass. The window seemed to explode, from the inside out, and glass pieces flew over a wide area. No one was in the car, and the car was not running. The vehicle was in the shade, under the carport, and the temperature was around 40 degrees. There is no chance that anything could have...

Got into the car and saw a crack on the front windshield that is coming from the middle portion, under the molding left to right. (If sitting in car.) Contacted honda and still no response. Always we will call you back. *Tr

I just noticed I have a cracked windshield on my new 2008 honda element. I don't recall any debri or anything hitting my windshield but I noticed a crack? In my 37 years of driving I have had only 1 cracked windshield and in that case I saw and heard the rock hit my windshield back in 1995ish. *Tr
