On 2/27/25 while driving my 2019 Honda Odyssey on the hwy the passenger side curtain airbags deployed after running over a pothole in the road. This frightened my wife and may it very difficult to see to pull over safely on the side of highway. There were no passengers in the car when it happened, no injuries or collision following g the deployment. We were very lucky. Police officer would not provide report because accident did not occur. Officer sated he had never seen airbag deployment cause by pot hole. My wife-??s safety and the safety of others on the road that day were definitely at risk due to this unannounced airbag deployment. We did take to dealer and we were never given explanation of why it occurred. Damage caused by airbag deployment cost over $8,000 dollars in repairs and my wife still does not feel comfortable driving this vehicle. Now a year later we are experiencing electrical issues in the vehicle on the passenger side with power windows and locks. We feel that it is related to incident. Original Repairs were completed by dealer but they are now looking into electrical issues. There were no warnings or light prior to deployment.

The SRS airbag fault has been popping up for a while on the van. I went to my local dealership to get this fixed. $1,500 later they tell me they fixed an airbag harness and the problem should be good to go. A week later the fault appears again. I feel like they-??re just throwing parts at the van to fix this legitimate safety concern. Now they want to charge us $3,000 to fix another harness. For this being a safety concern and have been told my air bags may not be deploy in a crash, the dealership and Honda isn-??t taking this situation serious.

On July 1st 2025, while driving in Raton, New Mexico, my 2019 Honda Odyssey EX-L experienced a spontaneous deployment of the driver-side curtain airbag. I was exiting the highway and slowing down to a stop sign (approx. 30 mph) when the airbag deployed. There was no crash, no impact, and no obstacle. This deployment disabled the entire SRS system, leaving the vehicle unsafe. My family -?" including three children -?" were in the car. I received a minor airbag burn on my arm, which healed in 24 hours. The SRS light came on only afterwards. There is zero exterior or interior damage. I recorded a video immediately after. The certified collision center at David McDavid Honda (Irving, TX) inspected the vehicle and confirmed in writing that there was no sign of collision. They sent me $11,000 repair (attached). I opened a case with American Honda on Monday, July 7th 2025 and I have not heard back since. The vehicle and components are available for inspection. I-??ve since found multiple reports of similar airbag deployments in 2018-?"2020 Honda Odysseys, including: ????-??????https://www.odyclub.com/threads/2019-honda-odyssey-elite-random-air-bag-deployment.380737/ ????-??????https://www.odyclub.com/threads/random-airbag-deployment.382243/ ????-??????https://www.odyclub.com/threads/side-curtain-airbags-deployed-w-out-collision.366424/ This appears to be a pattern of spontaneous deployment and SRS failure that poses serious safety risk and warrants investigation.

The "Airbag System (SRS) Problem" warning appears too often. We have brought it several times to (different) mechanics and each time they find something else wrong. After several thousand dollars spent (whether it is replacing the module, airbags, wires, etc.) the warning light eventually comes back on. In speaking with other 2019 Honda owners it seems this is a known issue. At this point, we do not know what else we can do to fix it and if it indeed is a danger to drive it.

While operating the vehicle on a highway, under normal weather conditions the vehicle was traveling at a normal rate of speed while Side airbag curtains on both, drivers and passengers side, spontaneously deployed. There was no collision with any vehicle or object to cause deployment. Side airbags caused temporary visual and hearing impairment from deployment making vehicle operation on highway extremely dangerous to safely navigate to shoulder of highway to a place of safety. The side curtain airbags blocked side mirrors and all side widows. Unable to see out of vehicle to navigate to shoulder of highway. There is no external damage to vehicle. There were no indication lights warning of an airbag system issue. Vehicle is currently at a Honda service center awaiting appointment to assess vehicle.

airbag system (SRS) problem

- El Dorado Hills, CA, USA

Van had srs code on from when bought by original owner. I bought van recently and tried to fix the issue I had the airbag replaced and the error went on a few days later. While looking into the issue I spoke to a few mechanic's who have both seen this issue with other vans with the same make and model. In those cases also it didnt help with replacing the airbags. There seems to be a real issue here but there isnt yet a recall.
