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.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the front of the vehicle around the engine compartment and wheels began to vibrate. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the vehicle functioned as intended. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer who acknowledged the vibration but was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 700. Updated 08/02/16
