2004 Honda Element review from North America
"I like it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a light out in the shift console when I bought it, annoying, though the dealer fixed it no problem. I also had an alignment problem which happens, again annoying, but car dealer fixed it no problem.
The most recent thing is a rattling noise when I turn to the right, and a little rattle noise when accelerating, and a little rattle in the muffler?!? Wow I guess I am rattling a lot! The mechanic has NOT heard any of these rattles and thinks I am making them up.
Also... Here's the good one!! My gas cap cover fell off in my hand as I was getting gas one day!!! Weird!
They, at the dealership are trying, to tell me my bumper to bumper won't cover it because it
I quote: "seems to have been ripped off, or opened violently, or vandalized".
I am a 100 pound female and I do not go around "ripping" or "opening violently" anything. (not that I can't I just don't)
Just wondering if anyone else had a problem like this so I can tell them that it is not me, it is the car?
General comments?
I like the car, It is the best car I have ever owned!
I think that it is the dealership that's out to get me.
