2004 Honda Odyssey air bags problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While backing into the driveway, the vehicle made an abnormal noise and accelerated backwards. The contact shifted into drive and the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact attempted to engage the brakes; however, the brakes failed and the vehicle crashed into a parked vehicle. The air bags deployed and caught fire. The contact suffered injuries to the hands and eyes, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but was not repaired.

I recently received a recall notice for a module in the airbag system causing it to deploy on its own. The additional problem that I am having is the " SRS " light is on which as I was told by the honda mechanic that it means that the air bag might not deploy if needed . They also refused to fix the light being on because they said the 2 problems had nothing to do with each other.
