On 8/5/15 approximately 7:10 pm, I was driving highway 37 towards vallejo. It was one lane highway, marsh land on the right and concrete block on the left. A maroon van lost control, bumped into multiple vehicles and hit us from the behind. Our odyssey minivan had a costco size igloo ice chest, computer tote, and a plastic crate in the trunk, but it was crushed to the back row seats. All the air bags deployed except for the front and passenger.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle accelerated. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle, which crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and the three passengers in the other vehicle's sustained unknown injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
The reverse tail lights fill up with water when it rains. I have had it fixed, but 2 years later they are filling up again.
2010 odyssey w/ about 159k miles. Engine started misfiring. There was a recall on this, but honda is saying it expired, and I am not eligible for cost coverage, and the repairs only have a 50% chance of fixing the issue. I bought the car used in 2016, and they say the recall expired after make year. I was driving my car to work and it lost the ability to accelerate and white smoke was coming out exhaust. And the belt snapped and it has been parked since early february.
