2009 Honda Odyssey Air bags Problems

“I was in my 2009 Honda Odyssey and I was the last of 3 cars that had stopped for a school bus. I was rear-ended by a 4th car that did not stop. Then my front end hit the car in front of me. There was major damage to the front and back end and the van had to be towed. I could hardly open the front driver's door. It was not drivable. The airbags did not deploy.”

“The side curtain airbags on our 2009 Honda Odyssey deployed without known cause while rolling into our garage. This happened around 9:00am on friday, november 16th, 2018. The airbag deployment was traumatic, as we have come to rely on the safety and reliability of the Honda Odyssey. The airbag struck my wife on the left side of her head, but thankfully did not strike our daughter in the car seat. Medical attention was needed but looks to be limited to bruising and soreness. The vehicle was going less than 1 mile per hour and was half way into the garage. …”

“Airbag sensor light on dash appeared. This happened off & on for 2 months. Wondered if there was a problem with the airbag or the warning light! Honda dealer has told us that the driver side curtain airbag needs a new inflater. We are concerned that this safety feature has only lasted 4 years on a vehicle with less than 40,000 miles on it. Cost to replace is over $1100.00. Honda has agreed to pay about 1/2, but we feel this is a factory defect -- we should be able to rely on a safety feature for more than 4 years on a vehicle that should serve us for many years!”

“The contact owned a 2009 Honda Odyssey. While the contact's vehicle was idling at a stop light, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver suffered bodily pain that did not require medical attention. The rear driver's side passenger did not sustain any injuries, but received medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,000.”

“The contact owns a 2009 Honda Odyssey. While driving 60 MPH, the contact crashed into a deer in the middle of the road. The contact stated that the front passenger tire flattened and the air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. Two independent mechanics came to the contact's residence where they attempted to manually deploy the air bags; however, they were unsuccessful. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was currently waiting to be diagnosed by another independent mechanic. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. …”
