AS THE DRIVER AND ONLY PASSENGER OF THE ABOVE REFERENCED VEHICLE EN-ROUTE TO PICK-UP MY WIFE FROM WORK ON THURSDAY, 19 FEBRUARY 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 1630 HOURS, I WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE VEHICLE COLLISION WHILE TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 33 MPH WESTBOUND ON DALE BOULEVARD APPROACHING FORRESTDALE AVENUE IN WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY DEPLOYED. INITIAL ASSUMPTION WAS THAT AS THE RESULT OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, MY HEAD WAS FORCEFULLY PUSHED TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. AND THAT THE IMPACT SHATTERED THE GLASS CAUSING MULTIPLE LACERATIONS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE, MULTIPLE FRACTURES AROUND THE EYE SOCKET AND HYPHEMA IN MY LEFT EYE (PHOTOS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERUSAL). TO THIS DATE, I CAN'T MAKE SENSE OF THIS ASSUMPTION. I WAS IMMEDIATELY TRANSPORTED BY EMT AMBULANCE TO SENTARA HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM. X-RAYS ON MY CHEST SHOWED NO BROKEN BONES. CAT SCANS TO MY HEAD CONFIRMED MULTIPLE FRACTURES ON THE EYE SOCKET AND CHEEK BONES. SURGERY WAS PERFORMED BETWEEN 12 MIDNIGHT ? 3:00 AM TO SUTURE THE LACERATIONS AND ENSURE THAT MY LEFT EYE WAS CLEAR OF BROKEN GLASS. I WAS OUT OF WORK FROM FRIDAY, 20 FEBRUARY 2015 THRU MONDAY, 02 MARCH 2015 BY ORDER OF DR. BABUR LATEEF, OPTHALMOLOGIST, ADVANCED OPTHALMOLOGY INC. ? THE SPECIALIST WHO PERFORMED THE SURGERY. DR. LATEEF CONTINUES TO SEE ME TO MONITOR THE PRESSURE IN MY EYE, MONITOR THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING CATARACT AND VISION CORRECTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND IS NOW IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION (PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE PRIOR TO REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERUSAL). HOWEVER, WITH THE ADVENT OF FUTURE RECALLS DUE TO AIRBAG INCIDENTS IN THE NEWS I DECIDED TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE IN HOPES THAT I CAN ASSIST IF NOT HELP PREVENT THESE TYPES OF INJURY/IES. *TR

THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT WILL ACTIVATE AFTER THE VAN HAS BEEN STARTED AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A SHORT WHILE. THIS HAPPENS ON MOST TRIPS FAIRLY CONSISTENTLY NOW. AIR BAGS SHOULD BE WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY FOR HONDA, SINCE THEY ARE PUTTING POOR QUALITY SRS UNITS IN THEIR PRODUCTS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS OR MORE. *TR

MY WIFE TWO CHILDREN AND 4 GUESTS WERE MOVING FROM A STOP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER DISREGARDED A RED LIGHT AND HIT OUR CAR TOWARD THE REAR OF THE SLIDING DOOR AND FRONT OF REAR WHEEL. THE OTHER CAR'S SPEED WAS UNKNOWN BUT THEY DID NOT APPEAR TO STOP PRIOR TO IMPACT. ALL DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE CAR DEPLOYED. MY WIFE AND ONE DAUGHTER SUSTAINED INJURIES WHICH REQUIRED HOSPITAL EXAMINATION. ALL PASSENGERS HAD SEAT BELT BURNS. MY WIFE WAS STRUCK WITH SOMETHING ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD PRESUMABLY FROM DEBRIS FROM THE AIRBAGS OR TRIM WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS LEFT A SMALL ROUND HOLE ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD. SHE HAD BLOOD LOSS WHICH WAS TREATED BY WITNESSING NURSES AND DISPATCHED EMT. SHE WAS TREATED AND RELEASED FROM THE LOCAL HOSPITAL AND HAS BEEN RECUPERATING AT HOME. WE ARE EVALUATING FURTHER TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES. MOST SEAT BELT BURNS WERE MINOR ALTHOUGH THE GUEST PASSENGER IN THE 2ND ROW MIDDLE SEAT (REMOVABLE SEAT) HAD MORE SIGNIFICANT BURNS DUE TO ANGLE OF SEAT BELT. *TR

OUR 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND A PARENT WERE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS TURNED ON AND SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY IN THE PARKED POSITION WHEN THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE HONDA ODYSSEY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED CAUSING SIGNIFICANT HEARING DAMAGE TO ALL OCCUPANTS AND RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. WE ARE NOW VERY FRIGHTENED THAT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH OUR HONDA ODYSSEY AND THAT AT A FUTURE TIME ANY OTHER AIRBAG IN THE MINIVAN MAY SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY AGAIN OR THAT IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS COLLISION THE AIRBAG SYSTEM MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY ALL TOGETHER CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE RELATING TO FAULTY VSA SYSTEM IN HONDA ODYSSEYS. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED AS A RESULT OF A SINGLE DRIVER ACCIDENT THAT OCCURED ON CT-15 MERRIT PARKWAY IN JANUARY 2011. IT SNOWED THAT DAY IN CONNECTICUT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO VISIBLE SNOW ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND AT A PARTICULAR TURN, THE VEHICLE SKIDDED (NO BREAK WAS APPLIED), AND AFTER TRYING TO CONTROL THROUGH TURNING THE STEERING HIT THE ROAD DIVIDER BARRICADES FACING FORWARD AND THEN SIDEWAYS RESULTING INTO DAMAGE TO RADIATOR SYSTEM AND ACTIVATING ALL AIR BAGS. I SPOKE WITH HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TODAY WHO ADVISES THAT THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME FURTHER BECAUSE VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AND THEY CANNOT THEREFORE CONFIRM OR DENY WHETHER THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED DUE TO THIS MATTER. MY REQUEST TO SPEAK TO THE SUPERVISOR WAS DECLINED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT MY CONCERNS WERE ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED. *JS

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. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON. DEALER SAID IT WAS RIGHT FRONT SENSOR WHICH THEY REPLACED. IT DID NOT FIX IT AND NOW THEY SAY THE CONTROL SYSTEM IS BAD AND AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. PERHAPS THIS IS RELATED TO OTHER HONDA AIR BAG RECALLS. THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, BRAKES (RECALLED), STEERING (RECALLED) AND AIR BAGS. *TR

TYPICAL HONDA ODYSSEY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. WE'VE HAD THIS BRAKE ISSUE SINCE NEW. MULTIPLE RECALLS, ADJUSTMENTS, ETC... HONDA FOR SOME REASON CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. OUR VAN WAS WRECKED TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID BRAKE PROBLEM. THE FIRST WRECKED HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2010. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAUSED A FRONT END COLLISION. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AGAIN, BUT THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THEN THE SECOND WRECK OCCURRED. SAME REASON AS THE FIRST. THAT'S TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IN 1.5 YEAR TIME SPAN. EACH TIME THE DAMAGE EXCEEDED $10,000. BOTH ACCIDENTS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN FAST ENOUGH. OH, DID I FORGET TO MENTION THAT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED IN EITHER ACCIDENT. WHAT'S THE POINT IN HAVING AIRBAGS IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DEPLOY IN A MAJOR FRONT END COLLISION. THIS VEHICLE IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS. *TT
