STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY HOOD FLEW UP AND SHATTERED MY WINDSHIELD. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM HAD SCREWS MISSING AND ONE SCREW VERY LOOSE LEFT IN PLACE. THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM FREELY MOVED AROUND WHICH IS APPARENTLY HOW THE HOOD BECAME UNLATCHED AND BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 50MPH ON THE MARQUETTE INTERCHANGE THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ONCE THE HOOD WAS UP AND HAD TO BRAKE IMMEDIATELY TO KEEP FROM CRASHING INTO ANYTHING POSSIBLY IN FRONT OF ME. THIS ALSO COULD HAVE CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE TO CRASH INTO ME. I ALSO COULDN'T SEE DUE TO THE HOOD. I HAD TO USE MY SIDE WINDOW AND MIRRORS TO MANEUVER MYSELF TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, TIE THE HOOD DOWN WITH A CORD. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? HOW DO SCREWS LOOSEN ON THE LATCH TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE?

ENGINE
WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED AT A STORE, MY ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE LEADING TO A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. I DROVE MY CAR FOR A SHORT DISTANCE TO DO TWO ERRANDS (MAYBE 15 MIN. DRIVE). I PARKED MY CAR AND WENT IN TO SHOP FOR MAYBE 15 - 20 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE, BLACK SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM THE ENGINE FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER BY FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE, THE CAR'S ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS DESTROYED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HOME WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE, MY HOUSE COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AS WELL. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NOT MANY CARS PARKED CLOSE TO MINE SO NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED. MY CAR HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED WITH THE 2014/5 RECALL NOTICE. THE CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALER IN JANUARY AND SUCCESSFULLY PASSED A STATE SAFETY AND VEHICLE EMISSIONS TEST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE. THE FIRE CLEARLY STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN ACCELERATING NORMALLY, A SHAKING, SLUGGISH SENSATION BEGINS IN 2ND GEAR GOING THROUGH 3RD. IF I SETTLE OUT WITHIN ONE OF THE GEARS, IT GOES AWAY. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M ACCELERATING. THE SPEEDS WHEN IT OCCURS RANGE FROM 20-40 MPH. IF I WERE TO TRULY STEP ON IT, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO GET WORSE, IT ACTUALLY ALMOST DISAPPEARS. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE POST IT UP. DONT WANT IT GETTING WORSE AND CAUSING INJURIES BUT IF IT DOES, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE IS HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. THE SPEED SEEMS TO VARY, THE RANGE IS BETWEEN 24 AND 33 MPH. IT SEEM TO BE MOST PREVALENT AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, 45 MINUTES AND LONGER. THEN WHEN AACCELERATING GENTLY FROM A STOP IT CAN LURCH WHEN SHIFTING, OR SHIFT HARD AND MAKE AN AUDIBLE CLUNK. OTHER TIMES, NOT HAVING BEEN DRIVEN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, IN THE SAME SPEED RANGE, 24 TO 33 MPH, DURING GENTLE ACCELERATION IT DOES NOT SHIFT EASILY OR SMOOTHLY. THERE IS NOT NECESSARILY A CLUNK (THERE CAN BE), BUT IT DOES NOT SHIFT NORMALLY OR SMOOTHLY, I WOULD DESCRIBE IT A MISS OR LURCH. IN BOTH CASES IT WILL SHIFT, BUT NOT AS IT SHOULD. THIS BEGAN AROUND 17,000 MILES. I AM NOTICING VERY FINE VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THROUGHOUT THE FRONT END, ITS NOT ALL THE TIME, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. I AM UNABLE TO ASSOCIATE IT WITH ANY PARTICULAR SPEED OR STRETCH OF ROAD, BUT IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

SEATS
THE SECOND ROW SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT LOCK AT TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT WOULD SLIDE BACK AND FORTH. I WOULD HAVE TO PARK THE CAR WHEN ON THE ROAD AND TRY TO LOCK THE SEAT TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING AGAIN ON THE CITY STREET BEFORE GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE SAME SEAT DON'T LOCK FORWARD AT ALL WHEN PEOPLE FROM THE THIRD ROW SEAT IS TRYING TO GET OUT. THE SEAT WOULD SLIDE, AND A FEW KIDS INCLUDING MY MOTHER HAD ALREADY GOTTEN INJURED FROM TRYING TO GET OUT FROM THE THIRD ROW SEAT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION, AND PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET OUT THROUGH THE SECOND ROW SEAT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY TODDLER'S CARSEAT IS ON THE SECOND ROW SEAT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SO PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR SIDE, AND I FEEL THAT MY TODDLER WOULD BE SAFER STRAPPED ONTO A SEAT THAT ACTUALLY LOCKS IN PLACE. WE NOTICED THE ISSUE AFTER A WEEK OR TWO AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE.

***2018 HONDA ODYSSEY CAUGHT FIRE WHILE OPERATIONAL**** ON 24TH APRIL 2019, ON HER WAY TO DROP OUR KID TO SCHOOL, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS VEHICLE GOT SMOKE AT FIRST AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE WHILE IT WAS OPERATIONAL. MY WIFE PULLED OVER AND TOOK THE KID OUT IMMEDIATELY. THE PASSING BY GARBAGE TRUCK DRIVER STARTED TO CONTROL FIRE TILL COPS AND FIREMEN TEAM ARRIVED. THE FIRE WAS CONTROLLED BY EXCELLENT EFFORTS OF THAT COP/TRUCK DRIVER. THE FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED NEAR 3RD ROW DRIVER SIDE SEAT...MY 3 YEAR OLD WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE 2ND ROW SEAT---JUST 1.5FT AWAY FROM IT. LUCKILY, MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE NOT HURT. I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING UP WITH GEICO INSURANCE, US HONDA (CASE# 09517538) RIGOROUSLY. I AM REALLY INCLINED TO KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT VIRTUALLY THREATENED THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND CHILD. I AM STILL AWAITING RESPONSE FROM THEM. ONE OF MY FRIENDS SUGGESTED ME TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO NTSB AND THEY REDIRECTED ME TO NHTSA. MY INTENT IS TO ENSURE THAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS MISHAP CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND RECTIFIED ASAP BY US HONDA AS THESE HONDA ODYSSEYS ARE DRIVEN MOSTLY BY FAMILIES WITH KIDS. I WAS UNDER AN IMPRESSION FROM THESE FOLLOWUPS THAT THIS INCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO APPROPRIATE FEDERAL/STATE AUTHORITIES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NHTSA HELP ME IN MY QUEST TO UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY WENT WRONG.
