2002 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad transmission just like everyone else around 80k miles.
General comments?
This van is crap and Honda knows it. They had a class action law suit against them, THEN they decided to help people fix it.
My transmission started having issues around 80k, but b/c I was so busy, I didn't think about it much. I waited until after 100k, so Honda now says they would only cover part of it.
After a lot of complaining to the "SALES" dept, I pretended to be interested in buying another car and got the sales manager on my side. Then, they decided to cover 1/2 the transmission. I paid $2600 to have this known issue fixed.
I paid a premium for the Honda name and look what happens. I'll never buy Honda again. I'll save my $2000 premium to save for repairs.
