Takata recall. As I was reached a stop zone in front of a school pedestrian crossing on 4/11/16, I heard a loud boom like an explosion on my minivan. The sound was extremely loud and made my ears hurt and I was disoriented. I looked around thru the window and rear view mirrors but I didn't see anyone hitting or any type of collision with any object or erwin. I then felt fabric touching my left arm and saw the side airbags had deployed on heir own. Both driver side and passenger side side airbags were out of the seat and depleted . My 2 year old son was in the second row seat behind me and my 5 year old daughter was sitting on the second row seat behind the passenger side. They were scared and I drove the van to my house about 1. 5 blocks away. I have a continuos ringing in my left ear since that day. My primary MD has referred me to audiology specialist. Again, the vehicle was at a stop at the pedestrian walkway in front of silverwing elementary school in arey dr. In san diego CA.

I contacted Honda and they want to toe the car to a dealer tomorrow 4/15/16 to place the diagnostic computer and evaluate what the issue was and how to correct it.

Honda currently has a recall on 2002-2004 Odyssey driver-side air bag for vehicles purchased or registered in "high relative humidity" states (NHTSA recall 14v-351). My '03 Odyssey is purchased and registered in illinois and not included. However, the vehicle is currently driven by my daughter who is attending college in state of alabama, one of the "high relative humidity" states included in the recall, for quite some time now. I called the american Honda to discuss about the situation and they did not want to include my vehicle even though it's operated in those affected states. I'm writing to you to express my concerns about the ways this recall is handled. This recall is climate-related safety issue. Any owner who can show proof of operations in those affected region should be allowed and be included in the recall, like my case presented. I'd appreciate your investigation into this matter and make Honda to expand the recall to include vehicles that's "operated" in those states, not just "purchased" or "registered". Sincerely.

The dealer replaced the driver side air bag under the recall. They claimed that there was no need to replace the passenger side air bag. I now have two issues. Since the manufacturer takata is known to have lied about defects, can I be certain that the replacement that was installed is safe? since there is a recall, 13v-132, now on record, was I lied to about the need to replace the passenger side air bag? this recall; speaks of passenger air bag problems. What corrective action is planned to assure that the replacement air bags are safe and when will they be available?.

On July 24th , 2014 my wife was driving (with one of our young sons) her 2003 Honda Odyssey about 30-35 mph on a neighborhood street. Without any collision or contact with any other object both front airbags and the driver side airbag spontaneously deployed. She was able to pull off to the right shoulder of the road and called me for assistance. Not long afterwards a town of mount pleasant police officer stopped to render assistance. We explained what happened and he confirmed there was no collision and advised me to take photos of the vehicle (which I did). He stated he couldn¿t write a police report since there was no collision or accident. We had the Odyssey towed to a body shop. My wife suffered a large contusion, burn and hematoma of the left arm which has been very painful requiring her to visit her physician. We contacted the local Honda dealership (rick hendricks Honda) who told my wife that what happened with the airbags was impossible without a collision and stated there was no recall regarding airbags for this car. We contacted the national Honda customer service center who assigned us a case manager. We found out on our own there is a recall for the airbag sensor because of this very issue (spontanious airbag deployment). We were never contacted by Honda about the recall. A month latter, Honda still has our car and has not fixed the problem.

On Friday, February 15th, at approximately 7:00 pm, I was driving our 2003 Honda Odyssey with my family when we experienced a spontaneous airbag deployment while waiting at a stoplight. There was no one in front or behind us and I was completely stopped at the red light. The driver's side airbag deployed first with a loud "pop". Two to three seconds later the passenger side airbag deployed (where my wife was sitting). Fortunately, both of us were sitting back in our seats and I had my hands off the steering wheel. Neither of us were contacted by the airbags there was a third loud "pop" a couple of seconds after the deployments. The seatbelt tensioners also engaged and now do not function properly. I immediately pulled to the side of the road and confirmed that we had not been struck by anyone or anything. I brought the van into the Honda dealership for an inspection, where we had purchased it a little more than two years earlier. The inspection report states that, "during service inspection did not locate any obvious impacts and/or damage. " the dealership pulled codes 53-41 and 54-50, but said they could not get anymore information from the srs unit until we had them replace the airbags. The Honda dealership then gave us a quote of over $4100 to fix the airbags and seatbelts. I contacted Honda of America and asked that the cause for the airbag deployment be investigated further. It took almost a month to get a corporate Honda representative to inspect the vehicle at the same dealership as the first inspection. Last night I received the results of the second inspection, which gave no potential reasons for the deployment. We left the vehicle at the dealership, asking for more specific documentation on potential causes. My wife and I believe the airbag deployment was the result of a safety defect, and Honda of America has refused to remedy the situation.
