  1. Shoppin' and Test Drivin'
    To keep it short, I found a clean 2008 ex with 115k on it and have fallen in love. What do you experts think about the state of the undercarriage? Anything stand out to be concerned about? (Southwest PA car) Also, upon test driving I noticed a slight rattle at random speeds/ bumps. It seemed to...
  2. Greetings & Introductions
    Greetings- After 14 years of sole ownership and over 300K miles (all of them driven by myself), I need to put my 2008 LX out to pasture. I would rather see her go somewhere where she can be useful either as a part supply or for someone's rebuild project, otherwise she'll be heading to the...
  3. Ask The Dealer
    Hi—I just purchased my 2nd Honda Element last August. A 2008–cream puff with 80,000 miles on it. (I know, right?). Well, it looks like someone may have hit my beautiful car in the parking lot. The piece of trim that goes around the headlights and goes a bit over to the fender is scratched...
  4. Maintenance and Service
    Alright so a little background: just clocked 192,000 on my 2008 Element. I took my car into a Honda independent mechanic two weeks ago and was informed of a “major” leak in my power steering rack. And because this leak has supposedly been going on for some time, all of my engine mounts are shot...
  5. Greetings & Introductions
    I'm looking at a 2008 EX 4wd. 1 owner. Lots of maintenance and oil change records from Carfax. Price $7249. Would you think that's a good deal? Thanks for any advice.
  6. Miscellaneous / General Element Discussions
    Hello all I have not posted much on this web group but I’ve been a member for a long since I bought my 2008 element in July 2008 . For those of you who post information I would like to thank you. I think it’s time for me to get another car. We love our Honda element but after 187,000 miles and...
  7. Greetings & Introductions
    After a long hunt I finally found an Element! Couldn't be more stoked! Being in Colorado it is extremely difficult to find one and one in great shape like I found. 2008 EX AWD 144,000 miles - Had my mechanic look it over yesterday and its in great shape. Had an alignment done but that was...
  8. Greetings & Introductions
    I've had my 2008 Element since, well, 2008. Not many problems with it until recently. (Had three brake jobs, including rotors, in three years and I SUSPECT it was due to shoddy workmanship, but no proof of this.) My financial situation has changed, and repairs that would normally have been...

    Manuals from a 2008 Honda Element. $25 OBO.
  10. Interior
    Hi everyone! I just bought a Honda Element and I am thrilled! I am looking to add floor mats though, as the previous owner did not have them in the car. I found some 2003-2006 all-weather floor mats (Honda originals) on eBay, and I was wondering if anyone knew if they would fit my 2008 Element...
  11. Tires, Wheels and Suspensions
    Hello, I thought I'd go ahead and see if there was anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area that would be interested in swapping their stock '08 SC suspension and wheels for the current Tein drop suspension that I have as well as the 20 inch chrome wheels currently on my Element. I just had brand...
  12. Maintenance and Service
    I have a 2008 Element and just turned 100K miles. I have been getting a vibration just after small bumps or just driving at speeds under 60 mph. i have to let off on the gas and it goes away. i have changed the differential fluid, but that was not it. it seems to be electronic?! i have...
  13. Maintenance and Service
    Well I have gotten a bunch of help from this site and my fellow Element owners family. Today was the first day that I have owned the Element (I've had 2) that I have run into a situation that I'm feeling a little stuck with how to deal with. Hopefully I can get some good advice (as I have done...
  14. Maintenance and Service
    Wow, I'm pretty mad right now, but I promise to keep this entirely civil. On November 7th, I took my 2008 Element EX in for routine service at the dealership (oil change, brake inspection, etc. Very minor.) No issues, everything was fine. Fast forward to today. A neighbor needed a jumpstart...
  15. Shoppin' and Test Drivin'
    http://www.smarthondadesmoines.com/certified/Honda/2008-Honda-Element-Des-Moines-fc8fdd5c0a0a00e00077bcd596cb1c8b.htm Here is the 2008 Element EX I found that I like. Obviously the dealer has the price way too high right now. I am just concerned about the 2008 brake issues. The vin number for...
  16. Interior
    In my search for buying a Honda Element, I decided to buy a 2007-2008. I was just wondering if the lighter colored seats on these years were harder to keep clean than the all grey/darker seats from past models? :?
  17. Bikin', Campin', Hikin', and Kayakin'
    I've just finished my first "customization" of my new '08 Element. I created a removable floor mount for the rear based on the designs from LeadFoot (much thanks!). Total cost and materials included a 6' 2x6 and bolts from Lowes ($15) and two fork mounts (2x$10). I can get one bike inside...
  18. Problems & Issues
    To make a long story short like many others I had to have the windshield replaced on my 2008 Element. And like others my local Honda place does not do the work. so you can imaging it wasn't installed properly. it looks somewhat ok but the trim is uneven and I suspect that parts are missing. I...
