This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Odyssey. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle crashed into a deer. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and back, but did not receive medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a local body shop for repairs to the front end. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that it was a minor crash and the air bags were not designed to deploy during minor crashes. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
Went to turn right getting off the highway and the whole passenger side airbags went off. Was just turning the corner and boom the whole side, I had just started to move so was not even going 10mph. Did not hit anything just turning at the exit light.
While slowly driving over a set of undulations in a business parking lot, the van came down on one of the undulations and deployed the passenger side air curtains and passenger seat airbags. This is a vmi converted mobility van. Because the van is lower to the ground and heavier, it did damage to the bottom of the van. Because of the low speed of travel, and the nature of the van coming down on the undulations (not side impact) the airbags seemed to have deployed without cause. I am concerned that if we are driving and hit a pothole, the airbags may deploy. My wife is a paraplegic and she would be trapped in the van because the ramp will not deploy.
Had an accident, front driver side impact, air bags inflated, passenger side not damaged but electric side door locked and don't opened, passenger side also electric and didn't work, my kids jumped to front to go out, several people helped trying to open door, finally door was opened but now is not working, I was on red light then light changed to green, started driving, a medium SUV hit car on my left and also mine, I was scare because smog (from airbags) was inside minivan, no way to go out on my side, only available option was passenger door O side sliding door, but sliding door was not responding, a nightmare, thanks god we are ok.
