2008 Honda Element Brakes Problems

“Honda Element 2008 began experiencing soft pedal when applying brakes, 2 lights came on vsa and ABS! . I continued to drive that particular day and when I tuned off engine and turned it back on lights disappeared for a smal amount of time. Brakes felt as though I would be unable to stop because of such play in them. I was driving on highway for approx 15 miles and also city driving for about 10 miles.”

“We just bought a used 2008 Honda Element and we thought the brake pedal needed to be pushed to the floor because of low brake fluid that the Honda service of baton rouge apparently did not fill, but it still was not working. We brought it in and our mechanic pulled up a safety recall for air in the vsa modulator, which is exactly what the brakes are doing. The Honda dealership says that the recall has already been done in 2016, so there's nothing they can do, except go in and charge us to do the same process again.”

“I am an owner of a 2008 Honda Element which recently came out with a media release from Honda that there was a problem with brake failure. One year ago I filed a complaint with you regarding brake failure on my Element. The dealer at that time found that I had very spongy brakes and air bubbles in the line but could not give me an answer of why this would happen and not guarantee that it could not happen again. …”

“My 2008 Honda Element had the recall work done in june 2010 re; soft brake pedal. Back to dealer on august 24 for recurring soft pedal issue. Diagnosis was air in brake system. System bled again. Brake pedal firm for now. Service manager could not offer an explanation other than maybe we did not get all the air out during the recall work. Honda has known about this safety defect in certain models since 2003. I have no confidence in the fix.”

“My cars brake pedal had been soft for some time. Yet no problem with the brakes or with the vsa. I started my car on saturday morning (6/13/2015) and the vsa, ABS and triangle exclamation light came on and would not go out. The vehicle was checked on the 30th of april 2010 and no change was made to the vsa since no problem was reported. I am disabled and do not use the vehicle that often. It is well maintained and in excellent running order. I took the car to my regular mechanic and he tested the car quickly and told me to take to the dealer for recall repair. …”
