2006 Honda Element Exterior lighting Problems

“I hit a deer last december and the only reason the insurance company did not total it was because the air bags did not deploy. There was just about $10,000 worth of damage to my car. After waiting a month and a half, traveling 18 hours & spending an extra $200 for travel to go get my car I finally got it back. Also, my car does not idle like it should. It will also go dead when I come to a stop. It doesn't happen all the time but it will happen in the middle of traffic and I will be stuck there for a few minutes.”

“Low beam headlight failure - the headlights on this 2006 Honda Element failed in much the same manner as described in the 2007 Honda fit recall and the 2002-2003 Honda civic recall. The headlight wiring harness connector is burnt on the second pin from the left-hand side, on the top of the connector, if one looked at it as it was removed from the switch.”

“The contact owns a 2006 Honda Element. The contact stated that the low beam headlights failed while driving at an unknown speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The failure was located at the low bean assembly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 12v136000 (exterior lighting). The approximate failure and current mileage was 120,000. Updated 05/15/13 updated 05/30/2013”
