    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!

    Our 2004 honda odyssey driver side seat broke from the bracket. The welds that hold the seat to the bracket broke causing the seat to start tilting and wobbling while we were driving down the road. This is a safety issue due to the fact that it is possible to loose control of the vehicle while driving increasing risk of collisions.
