The side curtain airbags on our 2009 honda odyssey deployed without known cause while rolling into our garage. This happened around 9:00am on friday, november 16th, 2018. The airbag deployment was traumatic, as we have come to rely on the safety and reliability of the honda odyssey. The airbag struck my wife on the left side of her head, but thankfully did not strike our daughter in the car seat. Medical attention was needed but looks to be limited to bruising and soreness. The vehicle was going less than 1 mile per hour and was half way into the garage. There was over 1 foot of clearance between the car and the garage frame. There was not just cause for the deployment of the side-curtain airbags. The dealership stalled the process to refer the matter to honda america. Now, honda america is taking no responsibility. Honda america identified historical wear and tear on the vehicle and believes this is the cause of the deployment. I am thankful my wife was not driving down the freeway when this occurred. I ask that the federal safety agency investigate this event, as I believe there are others like it. I believe there is a significant risk to the public from a faulty design within honda odyssey that can cause the deployment of the airbags.

Transmission has rough downshifts while decelerating. First rough downshift occurs around 40-45 MPH. The second rough downshift occurs around 25 MPH. During the second rough downshift, it feels as though the transmission is shifting twice. You can also hear a distinct clack noise and feel it through the floorboard of the vehicle. Transmission software updated twice but problem still exists. We also experience abrupt deceleration when removing your foot from the accelerator around 30 MPH. The van slows down abruptly as though the engine has stalled. We feel the transmission behavior is a safety issue because you do not know what level of engine/transmission braking will occur when you take your foot off of the accelerator. This makes you feel uncomfortable driving the vehicle.
