I think the value of matrix element should not be so large. I also check elph.0.00000.XXX.XX files, which also have very large value or illogical output. For example, for G point, part results of elph.0.0000 0.00000 0.0000 file is as follows.

   You can see that many star happen. Also I noticed that values of some dynamical matrix element were connected together as presented as below.

> What are these numbers?
This is contents of a2Fq2r.51-61 files
 
> 
>Do Your phonon dispersion look ok in the first place?
The phonon spectrum obtained by using calculated *.dyn1, *.dyn2,.... files is reasonable.  

> Did you actually compute the el-ph coupling and found it to be uncorrect?
Yes. I obtained elph.*** files. Many outputted gamma values in elph.**.**.** files are uncorrect. 
 
Thanks a lot.
