'04 Odyssey Accident
All -
I would just like to let everyone know that the Ody saved my life a couple of nights ago. I Tboned a car that ran a red light. I was travelling approximately 40 mph and the other car was going roughly the same. I hit the other car in the rear pass door and quarter panel. both air bags went off, my car and theirs. I had minimal burns around my thumbs where the air bags deployed. my passenger in the passenger front seat didn't fair as well. he had strawberries on both shins and seatbelt bruises. I am definately going back and getting another. My biggest issue now is trying to find a new '04. the wife doesn't like the interior of the remodel. Insurance is another story. Of course the other person didn't have a drivers license or insurance. Scott |
Re: '04 Odyssey Accident
Isn't it amazing how almost all accidents involve an unlicensed,
uninsured, drunk, or exhausted driver (or a combination of these factors)? I'm sure everyone is glad to hear you're ok, my family had a 99 Oddysey, and it's a great car.

Re: '04 Odyssey Accident
I know this is going to sound a bit morbid, but could you post photos
of the vehicle somewhere? It would be really interesting to see how the Honda held up. I'm really glad to hear that you made it out OK. I own an 03 Odyssey and an 04 Accord. It's my third Odyssey and my fourth Accord and I love them all...

Re: '04 Odyssey Accident
I will see what I can come up with. I kind of hoped when I watched it drive
off on the wrecker that I wouldn't see it again. Found out today Farmers is totaling it.

Re: '04 Odyssey Accident
I thought the car is always totaled if the air bag is deployed. If would
shock me that Farmers refuse to total it. Regards, "Scott Van Nest" <JohnDoe@cox.net> wrote in message news:x7kBd.31815$F25.13727@okepread07... > I will see what I can come up with.

Re: '04 Odyssey Accident
Hey Scott, glad your OK. Makes me feel better about my odyssey even with
all the tranny problems. I also agree with the other poster about why is it the uninsured you always get in a wreck with. Ive beenin 4 accidents in my 28 years of driving and every one was the other persons fault who also had no license or insurance. Good luck with your new ody. Danny |

Re: '04 Odyssey Accident
Cars are not always totaled when airbags deply. Case in point:
I have a 2000 LX Ody and T-Boned the side of a deer in May 2002. The deer hit launced my airbags and caused a total of $7000 in repariable damage. Hitting a 250lb deer is not like hitting a 2500lb car. Nevertheless, it demonstrated how airbags and crumple zones work together. I hope I never am involved in a crash like the one Scott had, but I can plainly see how the engineers designed a very safe automobile.

My personal opinion is that airbags are more of a liability than a saviour. You got bruising. Your passenger got beaten up shins. hope they went to hospital, and had a through checkup for clots (thats one of the major fatalities from airbags, passenger ones hitting shins, and causing clots, which move to the brain) I would rather crash in a car built in the late 80s than one built in the last few years. They deform TOO easily nowadays. >Scott > |
