2001 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
"It's a piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This van is terrible!
I had an oil leak at about 2000 miles.
12000 miles, front brakes and rotors replaced.
16000 miles, my transmission went.
A few weeks back the automatic sliding door opens by itself while the car was in motion on the highway with my two kids in the back. A scary experience.
Honda service dept. is another sad story.
Even my old Chrysler was better quality than this.
I am trading in this piece of junk for another minivan, and you can be sure it will not be Honda.
General comments?
Weaknesses:
Service dept.
Brakes needed repairing awful early.
Sliding door problems.
Problems with the transmission.
