Anti-theft Devices Problems of Honda Odyssey

Just purchased this van, brand new, less than 2 months ago. When driving my car, and in the midst of a turn into oncoming traffic, my car shut down. The engine shut down, the lights went off, I couldn't move the wheel. It just went dead. I took it to the dealer for this issue and the series of issues I had experienced in the days leading up to this event, which included not being able to open the trunk, a message flashing that the battery was dead and to turn off all the lights in the vehicle (no lights were on), anti-theft message came up twice, on several occasions the front safety sensors said they were not operable (which are controlled by a box by front rear view mirror, and sensor was not blocked), calls have been dropped randomly, side doors stick, etc. The dealer told me that the vehicle needed an ota system update, and that the car shut down as a result. When I questioned why the car would shut down while in motion due to a need for a system update, I was told that is what the car is designed to do. I again repeated, the car is designed to shut down while in motion just because of a system update? I was told yes, all computer assisted cars are designed that way. They told me nothing else is wrong with the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue, and I have seen online, that many others have experienced the same issue. Peoples lives are at perilous danger and risk when these cars are shutting down while in motion. Something must be done now before serious accidents occur and someone dies. I do not feel comfortable putting my family back in this vehicle, especially with no satisfactory answer from the dealer on what caused this issue.

Vehicle randomly displays a warning that anti-theft cannot communicate and instructs driver to press and hold power. After several failed attempts at restarting the vehicle, we discovered that it meant the radio power, not the push start for the car. It is not clear if this means the radio antitheft or the vehicle anti-theft. The car was stationary and in a parking spot. It happened on start up (and remained there during all 4 restarts). It went away after press and holding the radio power button.

1. Failure of the rear entertainment system: the rear camera and entertainment system will lost "network connectivity" and stop functioning 2. Brake mitigation system: spontaneously turns on 3. Failure of the infotainment system: the infotainment system will turn off and go into a series of failures, ultimately turning off completely and not functioning. The infotainment system will also experience power errors resulting in errors with the anti theft system. In addition, the radio/speakers periodically stop working.

Automatic doors were defective. The alarm went off. Consumer pulled off of the road, opened and shut the doors for the alarm to shut down. Vehicle was serviced previously for door defects.
