    Hello, I have read lots of threads on this site but some are very old and I didn't find a real solution for me so here goes: I have a 2005 5-Speed E with 220,000 kms. There is a noticeable vibration on acceleration in 1st through 3rd gears (most noticeable in first gear at 3/4 to full...

    Hey guys, 2005 Element on-demand AWD, AT with about 165k here. Over the last few months my Element has developed a pulsating shutter or intermittent vibration while driving at highway speeds that is getting worse. It seems more predominate on the driver's side if I had to pick a side and happens...

    My 2003 Honda Element has 260,000 miles on it. I am the original owner and have kept it in good running condition. It recently developed some vibrations, so I did the following: I had all the wheels balanced, which helped. Then I took it to my mechanic and told me that the differential mount was...

    There are quite a few discussions, in this forum and others, about Elements that develop a shimmy, and now mine has done so. It is a 2008 EX with 121,000. a. There is a barely perceptible wobble felt when moderately accelerating from zero up to less than 10 mph. b. There is a dramatic shimmy of...

    Hello everyone. New guy here. Bought 2006 Element brand new without ever having an issue... until recently. First off, I have an EX 4wd AT and all was fine until my wife hit a huge pothole at speed and the rear end was never the same. It has a persistent shimmy, makes a womp womp sound that...

    I searched through the vibration related threads and could not find the same description, so figured one more thread on a unique vibration may pull some more experience to my troubleshooting. 2007 SC 204k miles, 5AT, bought used (no vehicle history), no check engine light. The vibration only...

    Yes, I know this is a pretty common topic. But there are so many potential causes, my hope is that with a good description someone can help narrow my problem down a bit. 2003 Element, AWD and auto trans, 134K miles, a recent purchase so I don't know its history. I just had the rear struts...
  8. Problems & Issues
    hello all, I recently joined the element club after buying a 2006 honda element 4wd with the manual transmission. Ive been looking for one i could afford for so long and now I finally have one. I bought it with 100k miles and I decided to change all the fluids (honda brand). Afterwards I...
  9. Problems & Issues
    I have a 2006 automatic. When I'm cruising usually around 45mph, the front end will start vibrating until I let off the gas. I feel it more in the pedals than the steering wheel. I feel like its nothing to do with wheel bearings or suspension. Anybody have any clue?
  10. Maintenance and Service
    My sway bars need to be replaced on my rear end(90 percent sure this is the correct part I am describing) . While looking at these my mechanic said I shoul also replace the much more expensive ELEMENT REAR DIFFERENTIAL DYNAMIC VIBRATION DAMPER. However in studying a friends 2004 E I found that...

    Hi all. I got my hands on a 2003 EX auto last October with right at 88k miles on it. I've taken it to 97k, but have an issue that I am just not sure what to think about. First of all the car has a very extensive maintenance record with almost exclusively dealer servicing. The only...
  12. Problems & Issues
    I've seen some similar posts- but not exact- my 2003 element is currently at the dealership and the service tech is trying to figure out the problem- he is suggesting it is a misfire and i need Honda sparkplugs- its not sitting well with me- it feels like i am driving over rumble strips in the...
  13. Maintenance and Service
    only recently ive been having this issue and it keeps getting worse, so i want to make sure its not something horribly serious. When i;m doing things like driving 75 on the highway, then slowing down for a ramp without touching the brakes the whole car, mainly front end starts shaking and the...
  14. Problems & Issues
    I have a 2003 E 4wd EX manual with 118,000, and was wondering where this vibration is coming from. The car has a suddle vibration at idle, and under heavy acceleration the car vibrates. I am most certain it is coming from the engine/drivetrain area, not tires. I have deduced that the...
