“Air bag lights comes on intermittently days or weeks apart. No recalls listed for my VIN. Seat belt light does the same thing but much less frequently. Again, no recall listed for my VIN. No outward defects. This concerns me due to many other air bag recalls. This is a family car. It was purchased with the safety of my children in mind. We are not feeling very safe.”
NHTSA complaint #10744294, filed 2015-07, 135,000 miles“My Honda Odyssey 2005, the airbag warning light shows up, sometime it disappear, then it will come back sometime later. The minivan is derivable but it is annoying and I am not sure if there is potential danger.”

NHTSA complaint #10725670, filed 2015-06, 108,000 miles“2005 Odyssey - front passenger seat belt will not free up to allow enough length to buckle. It is locked in the recoiled position.

What do we need to do to get it corrected. Our vehicle just came off of warranty but we understand that Honda offers a lifetime warranty for seat belts. True?”
NHTSA complaint #10371116, filed 2010-12, 78,500 miles“The lap/shoulder belt in the center position of the third row seat was anchored with the anchor latch. My 2 1/2 yr old child pulled the seat belt down; somehow it wrapped around his neck. The seat belt had been pulled out completely, so it was locked. The automatic seat belt tensioner was activated and the belt was tight around his neck. Thankfully, he made enough noise to arouse attention from a person sitting in the second row. There was barely enough room for my fingers to fit between the belt and his neck - with him leaning completely back on his carseat. …”
