Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am reporting a dangerous problem in 2002 honda odeysseys. it relates to the srs system. honda has designed their car with a "ods" sensor device under the front passenger seat. my dashboard srs light has come on approx 5 or 6 times. the dealer tells me that no electrical device can be placed on the front passnger seat...this includes cell phones, radios, laptops. they all could trigger the the sensor inoperable....making the airbags non-functional. how can a car be designed with such a defect. any passenger with a cell phone in their pocket can set this off. i have written honda motors and they say ...see the dealer. this should be investigated and honda must issue a recall and a fix for this. the dealer tells me its quite common...how many people are are riding around without functional airbags?
