2002 HONDA ODYSSEY Structurebody Problems

I was involved in a traffic collision on December 15, 2023. The California DMV requires a brake and light inspection for a salvage retention reregistration of my car. After going to two brake and light shops they will not perform a brake and light inspection due to a recall P30 04V-176. I went to a Honda dealer to get the recall fixed and they said they cannot or will not perform the recall as it is not needed. Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue as I don’t see what and why the brake and light inspections cannot be done and I need them completed.

THE AIRBAGS ON MY HONDA WERE RECALLED AND WE HAD THEM REPLACED AT NANUET HONDA WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR. THINKING AFTER WE HAD THEM REPLACED THAT THEY WOULD ACTUALLY WORK IF WE GOT INTO AND ACCIDENT. THE HONDA HIT A DEER ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER WENT OFF. PLEASE SEE PICTURES BELOW. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR DUE TO THE SAFETY FEATURES AND NOT HAVING THEM WORK IS UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE WILL HAVE THERE FAMILIES IN THE CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED WITH THE RECALL AND DID NOT WORK. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER [XXX] PLEASE RESPOND [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHEN I WENT TO FL I WAS GOING 80 MILES AN HOUR AND I KEPT HEARING A NOISE I STOPPED AND SAW THAT MY MUD GUARD, FENDER, AND BUMPER WERE LOOSE AND THE MUD GUARD WAS DRAGGING THE GROUND. I ONLY HAD 126,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, THEN I KEEP IT MAINTAINED AND DO NOT KNOW WHY THESE PARTS WERE FALLING APART. I WAS TOLD THE CLIPS FELL OUT. I GUESS THE WIND FROM DRIVING 80 MILES AN HR BLEW IT APART. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THAT FRAGILE. I SAW THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, I NOW HAVE 128,000 MILES ON IT.

THE PASSENGER IN THE OTHER VEHICLE BROKE HIS HIP AND FEMUR AND WENT INTO SURGERY YESTERDAY. WHY DID THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR CLOSED WHILE A PASSENGER'S HAND WAS IN THE DOOR PATH. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO REOPEN THE DOOR TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER'S FINGER. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED BRUISING TO THE FINGER.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 119,437.

I OWN A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. MY PARTNER'S MOTHER WAS GETTING INTO THE BACK SEAT OF THE VAN LAST WEEK, AND GRABBED HOLD OF THE OVERHEAD HANDLE TO HELP HER UP (SHE'S 79 YEARS OLD), AND AS SHE STEPPED INTO THE VAN, THE HANDLE BROKE OFF THE CEILING, CAUSING HER TO FALL BACKWARDS ONTO HER BACK, ROLL BACKWARDS AND HIT HER HEAD ON THE ASPHALT. FORTUNATELY (MIRACULOUSLY), SHE DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURY (EXCEPT BEING A LITTLE SORE THE NEXT DAY). THIS WOMAN IS NOT A LARGE WOMAN...SHE IS ONLY 4'10" AND DOES NOT WEIGH ALL THAT MUCH. MY CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY THAT THE BREAKING OF THIS PART COULD POSE. I AM A SAFETY PROFESSIONAL (EHS MANAGER FOR MANUFACTURING), AND AM QUITE ATUNED TO HAZARD AWARENESS. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT TELLS YOU NOT TO USE THIS HANDLE TO...

I CALLED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER 1-800-999-1009 AND SPOKE TO TONY YUN. CASE# NO[XXX]. MR. YUN SAYS THAT I MUST TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER AND BE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE NOISE BEFORE ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE CAR. SINCE THE NOISE CAN ONLY BE REPLICATED UNDER CERTAIN WIND AND SPEED CONDITIONS, I ASKED THAT HE SEARCH THE HONDA DATA BASE FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND SEE IF THERE IS A RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. MR. YUN TOLD ME THAT HONDA DOESN'T WORK THIS WAY THAT EVERY CASE IS HANDLED SEPARATELY AND THAT THERE COULD...
