Air Bag problem #1

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report a serious safety concern with my 2023 Honda Odyssey (VIN: [xxx] ). On [xxx], while driving at 45mph, the front and left side airbags deployed suddenly without any impact or collision. There were no other vehicles involved, and no visible damage to the car was apparent. The only indication was the "srs airbag deployed" sign on the dashboard. Upon inspection by Honda of leander, minor damage was found at the bottom of the vehicle. However, the insurance inspector (brian, +1-832-418-4052) confirmed that this minor damage should not have caused the airbags to deploy. The airbags deployed without any impact, and only the side airbags were triggered, suggesting a malfunction similar to the recent recall affecting 2020-2022 Honda models [xxx] ). Honda has issued a recall for over 750,000 vehicles due to a defect in the front passenger seat weight sensor. This malfunction could cause the airbag to deploy unintentionally, even when there is no crash, posing a significant safety risk. The recall affects various models, including the accord, civic, cr-v, pilot, and Odyssey from 2020-2022, as well as several Acura models. Given the potential safety risk this malfunction poses, I urge the NHTSA to investigate this specific incident and consider extending the recall to include 2023 Honda Odyssey models. While my family and I were fortunate to be unharmed, this issue presents a serious threat to others and has resulted in the vehicle being totaled, causing us significant financial loss. I respectfully request appropriate action be taken. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need any further information, including photos and videos. Sincerely,  [xxx] [xxx] , [xxx] vehicle information: 2023 Honda Odyssey, VIN: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Air Bag problem #2

I left my home to go to the house of prayer for prayers and when I came to the stop sign to turn right, my vehicle didn't stop and continued forward which led to crossing the street and over the curb and through the grass of almost fifty feet into the lake. I almost drowned and called 911 to assist me out of the vehicle which was in the lake almost four feet in the water. I am not sure what happened, and I want to report so that if there is any manufacture fault that needs to be addressed to manufacturer then I need to report this incident. The vehicle is at geico salvage, and I have reported to geico insurance that the texas department of transportation might want to investigate, so they will be holding the vehicle there. If you need to contact me my phone number is 409-926-4865 and my name is daulat karim khoja.
