"Disappointing"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced the transmission after 80k miles.

Now dash lights are flickering on an off speratically - Honda Service cannot diagnose the problem.

General comments?

I am terribly disappointed. The best thing I ever did was buy an extended warranty. I highly recommend that for anyone. The only saving grace for Honda would be for them to recall all their transmissions. I'll never buy a Honda again.

Toyota cars have no style, but at least they're reliable!

I also have had numerous problems with my 2002 Honda Odyssey including having to get the transmission replaced at 75,000 miles. Last year the week before I was leaving for vacation, the transmission just quit. I had taken it to the dealer several times and they said nothing was wrong (which of course I knew it was). I fought with Honda America and they basically told me it was my fault the transmission went up. Eventually I ended up paying for the labor and they wouldn't even give me a loaner for the trip.

My passenger side airbag has been replaced 4 times and the light always comes on. They can't fix it for some reason.

I just had to get the lift back fixed because it stopped working at 82,000. The mechanic said it stemmed from an issue in the front driver seat with a faulty wire (but not covered by warranty).

I had never bought a Honda before this nor will I ever again. They are expensive cars and apparently not worth the money. Between the problems with this expensive van and the lack of service from the dealer, I will never buy another. I have had every other foreign car and I keep going back to the Toyota's.
