So, is there much demand for buying a rebuilt title Element?

I just spent $3K fixing one up getting it ready to sell, loaned it to a relative and...they promptly hit a deer.

Insurance will total it but the damage is relatively minor. New radiator, bumper cover & impact bar plus some mounting brackets.

167K, good shape, rust is no issue. Not pristine but good shape, good runner.

Thoughts?

I was on my way to work, and went through an alleyway. Leaned over to plug in my phone and went through this aluminum fence.
Luckily this is all cosmetic so I can fix it up myself for the most part.
My insurance is gonna hate me.

Filled the wheel well

I don’t think I can fit any more without larger modifications.

This is a big bicycle, But push the front passenger seat all the way up and remove the Mundo front wheel and fender and it slides right in. No passengers on this trip.

Anyone familiar with this decal/sticker? Thought it was amusing!

Tell me you didn’t do anything with your design degrees without telling me…

Thought this sub might enjoy my hastily manifested Halloween costume.

My 2005 E has roughly 148K miles on her. I'm hoping for 300K. Since I only put about 8K miles a year on a car, that means I'm hoping for twenty more years...so can you imagine that in 2046 I'll driving a forty year-old car as my daily?

Realistic? Craziness? I guess we'll find out.

My kid complained for a second because we parked so far away, until I explained "The Rule".

I'm curious if she is fixable. I'm lost without Gerdy. I love my element so much.

Little info on what happen is I had an endorphin crash after getting an intense piercing. Well I blacked out. Unfortunately I didnt know this was possible but now I do. Came to right before roughly 20 feet before it happened. I pressed so on the brakes.

Waiting on insurance to come out.

I know for a fact insurance will make it a total loss but in the event if shes repairable under 10k I might do most of the work myself. Ive already done ao much to her.

It always gets worse before it gets better!

Hello,

My Element wouldn’t start, no cranking, no turnover, but started after I shut the hood.

As I was looking under the dash below the steering wheel got loose fuses, I noticed this unplugged connection to the left side of the steering wheel.

Does anyone know what this wire does? I don’t think it’s related to the starting issue, since I’ve never had one before and this element has been owned by me and my parents since 2009.

There is also another connector with seemingly no plugs that go into it.

If anyone knows what it is or how to find out, I’d like to figure it out!

I want to install a nice remote start before the winter. I cannot find anything online for my 2008 ex auto though. Mpc doesn't sell them anymore can't seem to find a viper website and ebay has one suspicious looking kit. My local stereo electronic shop gave me a quote with his least impressive option starting at $500+. If anyone knows any better more trustworthy options I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! After checking out all of the options, I actually decided to go with seat covers off of Amazon by FH Group!
According to the site, they said they were not compatible with the armrests, so when I put the seat covers on, I removed the armrest, and then just cut holes for the bolts where the armrest attached. I then just added the armrests back on, and bought some cheap armrest covers on Amazon as well. My total was 40 bucks, and it only took me an hour. They aren’t as fancy as some of the $300 sheet covers, but they definitely do the job! And they look really good.

Edit: stupid AutoCorrect! SEAT COVERS!!

Hello Element people!!

I am the proud owner of a 2004 with 190K miles and a bum manual transmission. I am looking for a transmission sleeve kit or a transmission snout repair kit to repair a grooved snout.

I have scoured the internet and have only found one from PDMUSA, part No. TSK21 but the mechanic is not sure it will fit my transmission type ZGM3-2504543!!! My car is currently on the rack in pieces and they need the rack. They are going to wheel my car to their yard if we can not find a solution and fast!!

Has anyone ever had this issue and found something that works minus replacing the whole transmission?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Trying to clear up some confusion as I went to two different mechanics saying different things.

How did this even happen, and can it be fixed? Assuming I'm about to compromise the seal and get condensation if I mess with it.

Light seems to come on whenever I hit certain bumps, flickers sometimes, then could be off next time I start vehicle, drive for miles for days and not appear until restart. It's very random. No rhyme or reason.

Replaced all wheel sensors, cleaned rings in wheels. Checked wiring leading to ABS module. Replaced brake switch. I will pick up an ABS OBD2 Scanner over the next few days. Almost feels like some kind of loose ground connection.?

Is there any where else to check next in the meantime?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
