Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
I was in an accident on october 21, 2017, we were heading to cabelas an outdoor sporting goods store. I was not aware of any stop signs and did not notice the car coming from the left of me. By the time I did notice I slammed my breaks but it was too late. The airbags for this van did not deploy but the light indicator was on for airbags being deployed. Also, the front seat belts became locked after the collision. I was left wondering why my airbags did not deploy. I was able to drive my van home but should have not done so since the seats were locked.
I was in a front end collision. Moderate accident, going approx 35 MPH hitting another car with enough force to spin the car that I hit. My front airbags did not deploy. The car was not able to be driven off the scene. I was driving straight and hit the other car with the front of my car in her passenger door. I was on a city street.
Our 2012 honda odyssey touring elite van, purchased brand new in june, 2012, experienced a sudden unintended acceleration (sua) event on july 27, 2013 at approximately 3:53pm cst. I was making a right turn into a parking space with the brakes depressed. Part way into the parking space, my vehicle's engine revved up very loud and surged forward. I continued to press the brake as the vehicle continued to move forward rapidly and did not stop until it hit a store front window/wall. The steering also became unresponsive. The engine stopped revving and I shut off the engine with the key. No airbags deployed. My son was in a middle row seat. Video security surveillance shows the brake lights were on during the entire event and details the unresponsive steering. We contacted the dealership by phone immediately with a follow up letter and we contacted honda america corporate office by certified letter and sent a fax informing them of the event, as well as requesting edr data be retrieved. It is now seven weeks later and honda has failed to collect or refuses to provide the data. The dealership stated a district rep/manager inspected our vehicle and provided only an one page dealer invoice stating 'no defects in material or factory workmanship were found.' this 'inspection' took 0.79 hours per the dealer invoice. Honda refuses to provide details of what was inspected or checked and the dealership says they are not responsible for providing those details even though inspection took place at their facility. The dealership states that the dealer invoice is sufficient for us to consider the vehicle safe to put on the road again. Understandably, we do not agree as root cause of the sua event remains unidentified. The vehicle currently sits at the body shop. Vehicle had approximately 12,800 mi at event.

- Honda is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Pilot and 2011-2013 Odyssey passenger vehicles manufactured from March 13, 2008, through December 21, 2012. One or more rivets that attach the airbag module to the airbag cover may be missing.
