“Vehicle with driver only was traveling west on i80 a couple of miles before the sf oak bay bridge in the far left lane going approx 60 miles per hour (5 MPH below posted limit) in heavy traffic.

There was significant impact to the front and rear of the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10705118, filed 2015-04, 189,000 miles“My 2006 Odyssey was hit on the passenger 2nd row by a vehicle that ran a stop sign and sustained significant damage to the 2nd row passenger side. The impact caused the Odyssey to spin and was pushed at least 20 feet before being stopped by the curb. My wife was driving and she sustained minor injuries- no one was in the 2nd row thankfully. When I viewed the condition of the vehicle, there was no question in my mind that the side curtain airbag should have deployed. However, after inquiring further to verify this assumption, I discovered that no airbag was deployed. …”

Twice I noticed on very cold mornings (outside temperature was around 10 degrees fahrenheit at 9:30 am) that after starting the engine the air-bag indicator light came on and would not go away. After driving around for 10 minutes (with the air bag indicator light still on) I switched off the engine and restarted the engine after 5 minutes. This time the air-bag indicator light did not stay on. I brought this problem to the dealers attention. …”
NHTSA complaint #10181935, filed 2007-02, 5,480 miles“Check air bag light comes on and off. I saw that the 2005 had a recall for the air bag system, wondering if 2006 could be impacted with similar problem. Light comes on both when car is in motion, and when car is in park.”
