While turning into a parking space and applying my brakes, the engine revved, brakes stopped responding and the vehicle propelled forward, resulting in the vehicle jumping a median and ramming into a tree at which point the airbags deployed and engine cut-off. This left me with burns on the skin of my arms and neck area. I have owned and driven this van for six years and am certain that I was applying the brake. The vehicle had to be towed as the driver side seatbelt was left inoperable. We were told by our dealership that the side air bag had deployed within the column, but did not enter the cabin as it was not visible and was caught within the seat belt pillar.

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.

The contact owns a 2004 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph on black icy road conditions, the vehicle unexpectedly crashed into a retainer wall. The crash was due to the slippery road conditions. The contact sustained injuries from the front driver’s side air bag, which deployed forcefully from the steering column and caused chemical burns to both of her hands. A police report was filed. The contact was able to drive from the scene. The vehicle was then taken to a collision center. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unavailable.

While travelling on the higway (I estimate speed at 65-70), it would seem that the left front tire struck an object in the roadway. The object left a samll scratch on the frunt bumper, severed the emergeny brake cable and may have scratched the shield on the gas tank. There was no grossly obvious deformity of the wheel or clear damage to tire. The imapct on the undercarriage and front end is not yet clear, as the vehicle is currently at the shop. Despite the mild to moderate nature of the impact, the passenger side airbag and the left curtain airbag deployed. Thankfully, there were no injuries however, it is my perception that the airbags deployed inappropriately, causing a fair degree of alarm and extensive interior damage to the van.

I received a letter from Honda saying the 'opds" sensor may be defective and Honda would replace it. We had it replaced at patterson auto center, wichita falls, TX 76301, invoice #hocs78608, 9/13/07. The "srs" indicator light had been "on" and with the replacement the light was "off". One month later the light came "on" again and we returned to have it checked out. I was told the "srs control unit" needed to be replaced, so we had that done, this was replaced at my cost. Then on 4/5/08 while driving on a smooth road, the passenger side air bag deployed, hurting my wife the passenger on her arm. The following Monday 4/7/08 took vehicle to patterson's and showed them the deployed air bag. Jimmy kendrick in service department said he had never seen that happen before without an accident. They connected the computer to the system and it indicated a side impact. Jimmy visually inspected the vehicle to have not had any "side impact" and could not explain why it had deployed. I asked if Honda would correct the faulty air bag system and was told "no". Latest incident was on 7/29/08, while sitting in the vehicle at the church parking lot, with the engine running, but parked the drivers side air bag deployed, injuring my left arm. No side impact had occurred to cause this to happen. I was very lucky I was not driving at the time, because I know it would have caused me to have an accident. We need Honda to recall this vehicle and replace the air bag system before any of the other air bags deploy and cause a major accident leading to death, as soon as possible!.

We bought a brand new Honda Odyssey in March 2002 from power Honda, valencia,California. The leather seats in this vehicle were not factory installed but was installed by the aforementioned dealership. Recently (June 29, 2006), the passenger side rear air bag deployed but was trapped inside the leather cover of the passenger seat. Fortunately, no was harmed or injured in the incident. I had to take the vehicle to a Honda dealer in the state of texas, where I am currently residing, and had the rear passenger side air bag reinstalled and changed leather seat covers that meet the safety standards. The whole thing did cost me a lot. Also, found out from the same dealership in TX that right after few months we bought the vehicle, the Honda motor company had issued a notice (2002) requiring factory installed leather seats in its vehicles to prevent problems like mine. I strongly feel that I have been cheated by the dealership that installed leather seats that do prevent the deployment of safety air bags. Also, by the Honda motor company for letting dealers use companies that do not meet the companies safety standards. I strongly believe that my family's safety has been jeopardized. I am sure that there are many consumers like us who have such leather seats but are not aware of it. I would like both dealers and the Honda motor company to remedy the problem immediately. It would help prevent serious injuries and even deaths in the future, if any of those vehicles get involved in serious accidents and the air bags fail to deploy because of leather covers that do not meet safety standards. I urge the NHTSA to take immediate action and ensure the safety of passengers and drivers of Honda Odyssey (minivan) that have dealer installed leather seats and will not burst at the seams, when the air bag needs to be deployed. Have contacted the dealership in CA and Honda motor company but yet to hear from them.

The vehicle was impacted on the front left side. Both front air bags deployed, however the drivers side air bag did not inflate. Nar.

My wife was injured when the side airbags of our 2002 Odyssey inadvertently deployed. After sending their representative and airbag experts to examine our Odyssey, american Honda failed to provide us an explanation of the cause and the fix of this defect as they promised us 3 weeks ago. They simply replaced some parts and forced us to return the rental car and take back the van. Even the classic Honda manager admitted to me that if Honda agrees to a trade in, classic Honda would not able to resell our van due to liability. Yet they are asking us to drive our Odyssey and risk our lives again. Based on the questions Honda asked during their investigation, and their refusal to address this incident in writing, Honda wants us to risk our lives again to test the safety of their product. We need help and can provide more info regarding this incident. Thanks.
