At around 100,000 miles the timing belt had to be replaced.
Fuel pump quit at 60,000 miles.
Interior cloth parts have fallen off.
Sliding doors stick when they get wet and will not open.
Speedometer stopped working at 107,000 miles.
Clock light burns out often.
At around 70,000 miles the AC no longer would get cold.
Randomly will crank but not start.
Has stalled out on freeway once.

This car has been an absolute lemon. For years I was told that Honda's were reliable cars and would last you for life, and I can tell you that I will never be buying another Honda again.
This car ran fine until around 60,000 miles, then it all went downhill from there. It has been expensive to repair.
Fuel economy was never great and it only could manage about 21 highway (with cruse control on).
Very uncomfortable seats to sit in for over an hour.
All the plastic feels cheaply made, and the driver side door panel has cracked.
When the engine was running good, it had ample power and drove alright, but once the timing belt was replaced it would shudder if you tried to accelerate.
I am actually very surprised that this car has never had a transmission problem that supposedly plagues these cars.
Your engine shuddered upon acceleration since you had the timing belt replaced? If what you claim is true, why didn't you take the van back to the garage that replaced the timing belt? Some mechanics are super stupid, take it to a reputable place and quit pointing the fault at Honda. BTW, I don't own a Honda, never did, I just read your review out of curiosity, so I am not pro Honda. I drive Buicks.
We HAVE had experience with Honda. The word "lemon" is a gross UNDERSTATEMENT. I've never seen a more poorly built, under-engineered vehicle. We are now back to Fords. They are flawless.
Sounds like you guy are out to make bad propaganda about foreign cars and praise the domestic ones...
Contrary, I have a 2000 Odyssey, and had to do only the timing belt... and that at 160000.
I've also had Fords... they all suck... problems over problems... the engine failed, the light inside is always on (had to take the lamp out),
the brakes froze on the disk.. parts are falling off, it rattles etc...
