2000 Honda Odyssey ex. On 5/25/09 I was rear ended by a vehicle going approximately 125mph; I was traveling 45 MPH. Once hit, I had no control of the car, it jumped the curb, went into the woods while still moving. The front of my van then hit a tree. There was substantial front end damage. None of the air bags deployed. I don't know if the seat belt locked properly either. When the front was hit, battery and air filter area was bent upwards towards the dash and bumper came off, along with major wheel damage/bending along with hood damage. Inside the van under steering wheel the panel underneath bent inside, front panel near radio fell off with wires hanging. That is how hard I was hit from the front with the tree, along with the major frontal damage. My car was totaled. …

When I bumped a metal sign in the walmart parking lot on feb 18 2002 driving 5 MPH, my airbags deployed and the seat belts froze. I found in the manual that they are only suppose to deploy upon moderate to severe impact. I along with 3 other body shops and my insurance, state farm, felt that the air bags deployed faulty and never should have gone off. There was no other damage to the vehicle, demonstrating how lightly the sign was hit. This was an expensive defect that I would like to report, in case it should happen to someone else. ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis****760765

I was driving on a rural 2-lane road when my Mini-van started to slid across the road due to an ice/snow covering. My van slid across the lane and slammed head-on into a large tree. The entire front-end of the van was destroyed, but my air-bags never deployed. Both the police officer and tow-truck driver were dismayed at this. Fortunately, I only have a slight concussion and whiplash (thanks to my safety-belt).
