My wife's honda odyssey, while crossing/turning a city road at a low speed, was hit (obvious from approximately 90 degree angle) near the front by a volkswagon beetle turbo moving at 35 miles or less per hour. apparently, all the front airbags (the driver and passenger side all airbags) of the odyssey were apparently explosively deployed destroying almost the entire front upper inside of the vehicle. we suspect the airbags (we do not know but they might be faulty takara airbags) might have prematurely deployed given the low speeds of the vehicles before the crash and minimal visible body damages. after the accident, volkswagon was perfectly driveable with very minimum visible damage to its front and was driven away without doubt. please investigate whether the odyssey air bags or any other manufacturing defects were at play during this accident. the odyssey is currently at a bodyshop in virginia beach, va. insurance agency has decided to total the vehicle apparently principally due to extensive cost of replacing all the airbags and related damages. i am the owner of the odyssey. attached are two photos. your prompt response and action will be highly appreciated.

Brand new 2015 honda odyssey out of dealership, there was a hissing sound in the steering hub (passenger airbag assembly). dealer checked and informed an issue with airbag assembly. after all these recalls, issue in 2015 model is the last thing to expect! safety hazard and very disappointing. should have stuck to my time tested toyota! *js
I did not have an air bag incident. i bought a 2015 honda odyssey two weeks ago. i read the nyt article today, and called honda to find out whether the air bags installed in my car are takata. honda declined to tell me, stating that they don't give that information to consumers unless their specific vehicle is subject to recall. my complaint is that the issues leading to the recalls seem shrouded in non-disclosure, and that consumers should be able to find out information about their vehicles. *tr
