FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The air for the last 2 summers hasn’t worked right. Recently it wouldn’t work until being driven for hours then it would cool off. After it would cool down the car would start to get a very strong gas smell inside. After being checked 3 different times we were informed that there was a problem with the fuel line and the design of it. We would have to have it rerouted seasonally. This is very dangerous, they said there was no permanent fix and in the mean time we were left inhaling gas for weeks. Gas inhalation can kill you. This is a very serious problem that needs addressed ASAP. We traded the car in and the dealer has it listed as certified pre owned knowing there are chronic issues with this vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2022 Honda Odyssey:When the auto-off or whatever it is called engages when you put your foot on the brake at a red light or stop sign and the engine turns off, it is supposed to restart the engine when you take your foot off the brake. That feature is causing issues on average of one time per day where the engine does not turn back on. The van loses all power, red battery light comes on, and the dash gives an alert to put it part and restart the van. It eventually restarts but with wife and 3 kids in van on the highway, this is not safe as other vehicles almost hit us because they do not know the van died.

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was heading east at about 60mph on the highway near sundown with the setting sun in my rearview mirror. There were no other cars close to me. I suddenly lost power very abruptly, going from 60mph to about 35mph in seconds. I always thought this had something to do with the setting sun angle making a reflection on the highway that the car interpreted as an obstruction, but I still don't know what happened. Something similar happened one other time, but at much slower city streets at about 35mph. It was raining, and again I think a reflection on the street tricked the anti-collision system. It's only happened two times in a year, but both times it was surprising and could have been dangerous if there were cars behind us.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle has lost its power during the drive. As I was pulling the vehicle out of the driveway, the vehicle was completely shut off and immediately turned on. A few month later, similar thing happen. This time I tried cold start and it never cranked just on for a second and then lost the power compeletly. It happened one more time and I took it to the dealership. They said there is no issue with the battery, the assume the batter power is not enough for the vehicle. Even it has a geniue battery that was never replaced from the very first purchase it is not supporting the vehicle. It has not happen to me, but I lost the power in the middle of an highway it is a disaster. On the way out of the dealership, ridiculously it did not start again, and they jump started the car. Attached is the service invoice and a photo of jump start at the lot. It was Honda Curry, 5525 Peachtree Blvd #100, Chamblee, GA 30366.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The glass of the sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving down the highway. It made an explosion sound and dropped shards of glass all over myself and my child. I am in the process of finding replacement glass for the vehicle. It is less than a year old, and the dealer does not have replacement parts nor does it know when they can get one. There were no warnings before this happened. The vehicle has never had any damage and is stored in an interior garage. The damage happened at 55 degrees on a dry overcast day in Nashville, TN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
We purchased a 2022 Honda Odyssey EXL and shortly after purchasing it the driver's rear door sliding door stopped unlocking and it won't lock if it's unlocked. This prevents the ability to lock the door using the remote locking feature it also prevents fueling the vehicle if the lock is unlocked because the fuel door will not open if the door is unlocked. We took the vehicle in August 26th 2022 to Honda dealership and the dealership tested the lock switch and it still didn't work so they said that it could be the BCM and that has been on back order since August it is currently January 6th 2023.

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
While breaking, rear driver’s side passenger seat disengaged. Our 8 year old son was in seat with seat belt on. Upon breaking the seat propelled him forward. His face hit drivers seat and he was lacerated and concussed. Not only did the seat locking mechanism fail, but seat belt lock did not engage or prevent him from being flung. Brought vehicle to dealership same day as incident. They claim to have attempted to recreate incident, but used an adult male (instead of a 50lb “dummy”). Because they couldn’t recreate the unlocking of seat or explain failure of seatbelt to restrain, was told nothing is wrong and they attempted to “close the case” with nothing fixed, replaced or explained.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My power sunroof busted randomly while driving. Thank goodness I had it closed underneath me or else the glass would have fallen on me. It was sudden & I was not under a bridge or anything else to make me believe a rock or debris hit it. Additionally could not find a trace of a rock or anything afterwards. Not only did this pose a threat to me, but the glass flew behind me & caused an issue for the cars behind me.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Intermittently, my 2022 Honda Odyssey with less than 16,000 miles will “stall” after the idle stop/start system is enacted. The first time it happened, I was waiting to turn left out of a parking lot onto a busy road. The idle stop kicked in, and when I went to go, my car lurched about 5 feet and the engine cut out completely requiring me to turn off the car with the push button start, restart the car, and put the car into drive. Luckily, people going both directions on the crossroad were able to go around me. This has happened probably 10 times before I was able to get it into the car dealership for service. It has no rhyme or reason for when it happens. The car dealership replaced the battery and said that it should fix the issue. When I went to leave the dealership after the “fix” the car again “stalled” as I was leaving the driveway of the dealership. I turned right back around, and returned the car to be serviced. Now, when talking to the service department at the dealership, I am being told that because “there is no code, and they cannot reproduce the issue, there is no fix.” I am not willing to drive an unsafe car, and additionally, the idle stop/start was one of the reasons this van gets good gas milage. So, I should not have to turn off that feature every time I get in the vehicle. My vehicle is currently sitting at the dealership because I have no other recourse to get it fixed. Husband has traded many phone calls with dealership and service department.
