| The dashboard light of the honda element goes dark intermittently. at the beginning i thought this was an isolated event - but found hundreds of complaints about the same issue on internet forums. i have taken my car to the dealership and the problem is so inconsistent that they are unable to diagnose it. from reading the complaint of the other element owners it seems that the problem is with the electrical wiring system of the elements. i request the nhtsa to perform a detailed investigation into this -as this poses a serious risk with the instruments cluster failing randomly. *tr | |||
