## Narrative
The rear passenger side tire hit a pothole and it caused all of the airbags to deploy on April 6, 2026.  The impact should not have set the airbags off.  This has caused a severe rash/burn on my son's face and neck.  The vehicle is now being totaled by my insurance company and forcing me to have to purchase a new vehicle and my insurance rates to go up. Three days later, April 9, 2026, a safety recall on the over-sensitive airbags was issued for this Odyssey.  There were no other warnings leading up to this. Insurance has inspected the vehicle and deemed it a total loss.
