Car was parked at home. Entered car to get something, noticed car smelled of faint smoke. Didn't think much of it. Next day when I went into the car noticed a large burn hole in passenger side seat.

When I got into the car, I had just started the car up and there were warning lights for the blind spot information system not working; other things that weren't working were the heated seats or the rear climate controls. Later that day, the backup camera screen was black. This is unacceptable for my 2018 touring that is almost 50K!

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 Odyssey 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.

I was driving my odyssesy on a city street and approaching a traffic signal. As I braked at the red light, my young child in the back seat pulled the black strap right in front of her, which released the middle seat to slide forward. The middle seat with my son in it (which was then in a free slide motion) flew forward with incredible momentum and slammed his head into the front seat. I now am watching him for signs of concussion and monitoring his front teeth which loosened up. The middle seat release should not be so accessible to young children. It should have either two points of action required to release the seat or be positioned more out of reach for young children. Currently the strap is so conveniently located within easy reach of a child in the rear seat and easy to pull. With the vehicle in motion, it is extremely dangerous for a chair to be able to slide freely and fold. This design flaw should be addressed with a recall.
