2002 Honda Odyssey body problems

Filed Jan 4, 2025 · Body, Steering · CA

I was involved in a traffic collision on December 15, 2023. The California DMV requires a brake and light inspection for a salvage retention reregistration of my car. After going to two brake and light shops they will not perform a brake and light inspection due to a recall P30 04V‑176. I went to a Honda dealer to get the recall fixed and they said they cannot or will not perform the recall as it is not needed. Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue as I don’t see what and why the brake and light inspections cannot be done and I need them completed.

The airbags on my honda were recalled and we had them replaced at nanuet honda where we purchased the car. Thinking after we had them replaced that they would actually work if we got into and accident. The honda hit a deer on the highway and the whole front end was destroyed and the airbags never went off. Please see pictures below. We paid a lot of money for this car due to the safety features and not having them work is unacceptable. Please check into this because other people will have there families in the car and would like to make people aware of the malfunction of the airbag because my airbags were replaced with the recall and did not work.

When I went to fl I was going 80 miles an hour and I kept hearing a noise I stopped and saw that my mud guard, fender, and bumper were loose and the mud guard was dragging the ground. I only had 126,000 miles on this vehicle, then I keep it maintained and do not know why these parts were falling apart. I was told the clips fell out. I guess the wind from driving 80 miles an hr blew it apart. I did not know it was that fragile. I saw there were other complaints about this, I now have 128,000 miles on it.

My odyssey was involved in a front collision at 45 miles per hour. T-boned another vehicle when they pulled out in front of the odyssey. Neither front air bags deployed. I had just in the past few months had the air bags replaced due to the recall. My mother who was driving received neck, shoulder and back whiplash and a seat belt burn. The passenger in the other vehicle broke his hip and femur and went into surgery yesterday. Why did the airbags not deploy?

For a few months now I have noticed that when I make left turns, whether from a stopped position or a speed of 0-5mph, the van jerks and slows to a almost stop. I am afraid that it will shut down and cause a very serious accident one day. I have called honda a few times to inquire about it and nothing is being done. The breaks are only a year old and seems to work fine but there is a noise every time I push the brakes. Not the usual bad brakes sound but like a tapping sound. Also the 2 passenger sliding doors will not close or open at times as well as the back windows. The motors has been changed in the panel box, please what could it be and is there any help honda should be doing as they have stated these problems aren't under warranty?
