My 2006 odyssey was hit on the passenger 2nd row by a vehicle that ran a stop sign and sustained significant damage to the 2nd row passenger side. The impact caused the odyssey to spin and was pushed at least 20 feet before being stopped by the curb. My wife was driving and she sustained minor injuries- no one was in the 2nd row thankfully. When I viewed the condition of the vehicle, there was no question in my mind that the side curtain airbag should have deployed. However, after inquiring further to verify this assumption, I discovered that no airbag was deployed. I was shocked to learn this. The side curtain airbag should have deployed and did not. I consider this to be a malfunction, and I am informing you of it as such. In my opinion this is a matter of public safety because a side curtain air bag should deploy when vehicle is hit hard and directly on its side. I was left with the thought of why do they even install these if it does not deploy in this type of accident. I can provide pictures which substantiate the force of the impact and damage sustained. Thank you.

Purchased a new 2006 honda odyssey ex-l with res and nav in july 2006 in new jersey (planet honda). Twice I noticed on very cold mornings (outside temperature was around 10 degrees fahrenheit at 9:30 am) that after starting the engine the air-bag indicator light came on and would not go away. After driving around for 10 minutes (with the air bag indicator light still on) I switched off the engine and restarted the engine after 5 minutes. This time the air-bag indicator light did not stay on. I brought this problem to the dealers attention. They had a look and concluded that the side impact sensor was malfunctioning (part number 77970-shj-b81). They have ordered two numbers ??? How can this be ? This is a brand new minivan with only 5000 miles on it and no collisions not even the least minor ones what so ever. Seems there are some gaps and quality control issues in honda's manufacturing process now that this minivan is entirely being built in USA. I am just plain lucky that the air-bag (whether side or frontal, I don't know) did not inflate in my face.
On 4 nov 06 at approximately 1128 my vehicle was involved with a front impact crash and the following safety defects occurred causing personal injury. The details of the incident are as follows: weather: clear road conditions: dry level grade speed: approx 35 MPH vehicle was traveling down 2 lane secondary road when another vehicle pulled in front of it. My vehicle impacted the other one in the left rear quadrant. The damage to my odyssey was directly on the front grill and bumper area. The frontal airbags failed to deploy and both front seat belts were dislodged from the mounts located on the inside door post. I think the airbags should have deployed and the seat belts were defective. Both of the items were replaced by dealership and airbag was found to be defective. Part numbers listed below. Module airbag control: 77960shja02 seat belt lt: 04818shja01zc seat belt rt: 04814shja01zc buckle frt seat belt lt: 04816shja21zc buckle frt seat belt rt: 04813shja01zc along with other various body parts.
