Wife driving her Honda Odyssey was hit head on. She wazs traveling about 30 mph and the other car about 10 mph. Air bags did not go off in a head on collission. We have brought the car in about 5 times to get the air bags checked out because the service light came on. Twice they had to replace components of the air bag system. Basically in the 2 1/2 years we had the 2002 Honda Odyssey, we have had to bring it in for air bag service. They claim (and have admitted) that cell phones cause interference with the air bag system. They said that since not enough people have complained, no recall is done yet. My wife was hurt in the accident and I believe that if the air bags went off, she may have been less injured. A recall should be done about this!.
While driving at any speed srs light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic could not duplicate the problem.
