2004 Honda Odyssey seat belts problems

Filed Aug 28, 2026 · Airbags, Seat belts · TX

On XXX while traveling at approximately 50 mph on a smooth highway, both front airbags and the seatbelt pretensioners spontaneously deployed and exploded without warning. There was absolutely no collision, crash, road debris, or pothole impact. There were no vehichles in front or behind me. The vehicle continued smoothly for 100 yards post-blast. The vehicle's exterior and undercarriage remain completely undamaged. COMPONENTS FAILED: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) electronic control unit failed catastrophically. The explosive blast shattered the windshield, locked the seatbelt assemblies, and inflicted immediate blast-induced acoustic trauma/severe tinnitus. The vehicle is completely disabled but safely secured on private property and is available for immediate physical inspection. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER CONFIRMATION: The manufacturer (American Honda Corporate) has officially cross-referenced this vehicle and confirmed that the safety remedy for the known SRS control unit defect (the federal safety agency Recall Campaign 13V‑412) was previously performed on XXX, at an authorized dealer (Billy Wood Honda in [XXX]). This incident represents a catastrophic failure of a certified manufacturer safety remedy. American Honda Corporate has opened a high-priority Level 1 Product Liability Investigation under Corporate Case Number XXX. RISK AND WARNING SYMPTOMS: Driver safety was put at extreme risk due to an unprovoked explosive detonation at highway speeds, causing temporary blindness from white smoke and sudden hearing deprivation. The SRS warning lamp was confirmed illuminated immediately following the zero-impact deployment. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SRS light is on, diagnostic test done at Honda Dealer ($149.00), drivers seat belt buckle was at fault, Dealer ordered part and to install at no cost to me. Light would come on for a week or two maybe longer when vehicle was started. Not sure if my airbags were compromised with this light On. Why was I charged for test, I feel this test cost should also be paid by Honda

Need a recall to be issued by the federal safety agency or proper gov organization. The passenger seat belt tensioner and the buckle were replaced after the SRS light was illuminated. Now the driver-side buckle and seat belt tensioner is causing a problem and SRS light is on again. Honda is using delay tactics. Want to scan the car for $100 to re-confirm the same problem even though the car was scanned in the prior week! Srs light stays on after engine start (obviously stationary)

I am very, very disappointed in the treatment I have received as a honda owner. I own a 2004 honda odyssey. The seatbelt randomly stopped working and they are refusing to fix it under the lifetime warranty. I have been driving hondas my entire adult life. Corporate made me jump through hoops to gather my registration information from 2000! They said if I could show loyalty to the brand they would fix it under the "good will program." they say the car was wreck before I bought it and that is what messed up the seatbelt. However, I purchase the car in 2013. It has been working for 5 years and then randomly goes out because of an accident more than 5 years ago?! Where is the logic?!!! Well, showing that I previously owned a honda accord wasn't good enough for corporate to correct their mistake, because I didn't have it serviced at a honda dealership. I was living in bfe mississippi at the time. How was that my fault? The honda dealership in rockwall, texas is a joke. They determined they weren't going to fix it right off the bat. Upon further research, it seems honda skimps out on seatbelts. This is where they cut costs. I had never had a major problem with a honda up until this point. This isn't fixing something that is no big deal: like the speaker that fades in and out or the locks that don't always unlock together. This is my life they are playing with! It is disgusting! Do not buy honda! I never will again. Toyota wouldn't treat a life long customer like this.

The back seat belt got twisted around my 14 year old's waist and would not loosen. She was not able to get out and could not breathe, as the seat belt would only tighten every time she tried to squeeze out. We made an emergency stop at a gas station and had to cut the seat belt off of her. This was the second incident with the same van but the other seatbelt. My 10 year-old also got stuck once before but since he was smaller, I was able to help him twist around and squeeze out.
