Seats problem #1

The rear passenger side tire hit a pothole and it caused all of the airbags to deploy on April 6, 2026. The impact should not have set the airbags off. This has caused a severe rash/burn on my son's face and neck. The vehicle is now being totaled by my insurance company and forcing me to have to purchase a new vehicle and my insurance rates to go up. Three days later, April 9, 2026, a safety recall on the over-sensitive airbags was issued for this Odyssey. There were no other warnings leading up to this. Insurance has inspected the vehicle and deemed it a total loss.

Seats problem #2

I am submitting this complaint regarding a faulty multi-model seat weight sensor (sws) in my 2020 Honda Odyssey. I understand that NHTSA recall 24v-064 covers this issue for certain vehicles; however, my VIN is not included, even though my vehicle is exhibiting the same malfunction described in the recall notice. Multiple independent mechanics and certified airbag technicians have inspected my vehicle and confirmed that the srs (supplemental restraint system) circuit is open, indicating that the front passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision. This represents a serious safety hazard consistent with the defect outlined in the official recall documentation (NHTSA recall 24v-064 report: [xxx] ) the warning light for this malfunction was present when I purchased the vehicle in August 2025. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
