The brakes on this car never worked well. They screeched and squealed and were slow to respond. Despite many trips to the dealer and mechanics, they insisted nothing was wrong. I rear ended someone coming down a hill because I was unable to brake. The difference in speed must have been at least 35 MPH. My airbags did not go off. I hit the seatbelt way too hard. The car in front of me did have his airbags go off.
2005 odyssey ex air bags failed to deploy during an accident. *ts
Driving a 2005 honda odyssey, down a 2-lane country road at night in november, a deer was in the field. I slowed down because I did not know what the deer would do and there was another car that was going to pass me coming the other direction. When the deer saw my headlights, he ran into the passenger side breaking the headlight and denting the panel above the tire. No air bags deployed. I got out to check the damage and realized the van was still drivable. I put on my hazard lights and drove slowly less than 25 miles per hour. I than saw flames coming from the hood on the passenger side near the broken headlight. I pulled off the road onto the grass, turned off the car, got out and called 911. By the time the fire department came, the van was engulfed in flames under the hood and the flames were hitting the grass. The passenger side tire popped under the heat of the flames. The insurance company deemed the van a total loss. Information from insurance company said the computer behind the halogen light was the cause of the fire.

Air bags: frontal: sensor/control module-inactive
- What is wrong
- The frontal air bag system has two external impact sensors. On certain mini vans,some sensors were insufficiently sealed during manufacturing. If water enters a sensor, corrosion can occur. Corroded sensors could short circuit internally. If sensors fail, the SRS warning lamp on the instrument panel will turn on and remain illuminated.
- Risk
- Front impact sensor failure could cause a delay in, or loss of, frontal air bag deployment, which can increase the risk of injury in a frontal crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the front impact sensors. The recall began on august 30, 2005. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
