Tl* the contact owns a 2003 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the supplemental restraint system sensor light illuminated.

Srs light appears. The mini-van was taken to service center and I was informed that the driver side airbag inflator module was defective and it needs to be replaced. I note that there is a recall on the 2003 honda odyssey driver side airbag inflator module recalls recalls and other components. However, honda refuses to include my van in the recall. The federal safety agency should include all 2003 honda odyssey in the recall.
On friday, february 15th, at approximately 7:00 pm, I was driving our 2003 honda odyssey with my family when we experienced a spontaneous airbag deployment while waiting at a stoplight. There was no one in front or behind us and I was completely stopped at the red light. The driver's side airbag deployed first with a loud "pop". Two to three seconds later the passenger side airbag deployed (where my wife was sitting). Fortunately, both of us were sitting back in our seats and I had my hands off the steering wheel. Neither of us were contacted by the airbags there was a third loud "pop" a couple of seconds after the deployments. The seatbelt tensioners also engaged and now do not function properly. I immediately pulled to the side of the road and confirmed that we had not been struck by anyone or anything. I brought the van into the honda dealership for an inspection, where we had purchased it a little more than two years earlier. The inspection report states that, "during service inspection did not locate any obvious impacts and/or damage." the dealership pulled codes 53-41 and 54-50, but said they could not get anymore information from the SRS unit until we had them replace the airbags. The honda dealership then gave us a quote of over $4100 to fix the airbags and seatbelts. I contacted honda of america and asked that the cause for the airbag deployment be investigated further. It took almost a month to get a corporate honda representative to inspect the vehicle at the same dealership as the first inspection. Last night I received the results of the second inspection, which gave no potential reasons for the deployment. We left the vehicle at the dealership, asking for more specific documentation on potential causes. My wife and I believe the airbag deployment was the result of a safety defect, and honda of america has refused to remedy the situation.

Mid cabin seat belts will not retract on honda odyssey 2003 model. Have had the belts fixed twice and still having the same problem.
Passenger seatbelts lock-up very easily and the only way to release is to undue the belt. This is a major safety concern since the seatbelts should not be undone when the vehicle is moving but that is what must be done to relieve the pressure the belt puts on the passengers.
Rear seat belts lock for no reason. Passengers must unbuckle the seat belt to unlock the mechanism. Has happened at least 50 times in an 8 month period since purchase of the new 2003 honda odyssey. My concern is not only inconvenience but the safety issue of having to unbuckle the seat belt during driving. Happens mostly on the freeway at steady speeds. Honda dealer insists there is no problem, but a service employee had told me we are not the first to have this problem.
2003 honda odyssey (3 weeks old): when I took off the driver's side seat belt, the cloth belt folded over on itself and got jammed in the plastic retractor. The seat belt could not be pulled out, so it could not be used at all. I had to use a pair of pliers to pry it loose.
The seat belt failed to properly restrain my child, due to the way it was designed. My daughter was in the second row of the minivan with the right-side captains chair moved over to configure the row into a bench. The seat belt, however was still attached over by the door with no other attachment available, so there is a gap between the seat and where the seat belt is attached. My daughter was properly buckled in, and she is 105 lbs. And almost 5 feet tall. However, when we were hit from the side, she slid right off the seat and onto the floor between the seat and the door with the buckle still around her. In addition, my seat belt (driver's) failed to restrain me. It pulled all the way out.
Seatbelt extenders are not offered by honda dealers. An overweight person cannot obtain a seatbelt extender by purchase or free after buying the honda odyssey 2003. Not available in u.s. At all. Cannot wear a seatbelt without extender like chrysler, dodge and ford offer from parts departments. Please respond and help. Nlm
