Worst vehicle ever to grace my garage. I can't begin to tell you the horror story. It has been back to the dealer for rotors (twice), stalling, door will not close completely, wind noise, lights flickering in dash, gasoline leak. I will never buy another from this company.
Honda dealer's arrogance and misleading delivery claims. Also, production facilities limit output and prices are higher than necessary.
Weak rear suspension - tends to sit really low to the ground with minimal load (2 children in the rear seat 100-150 lbs.); loud ride on the freeway; oil dipstick hard to read; cheap plastic (fluid) caps in engine compartment.
In response to your comment regarding the Honda Odyssey... I have owned an Odyssey now for over a year and have never had a problem with it. I waited for mine, as did most people at that time, but the Honda line is as close to perfect as any manufacturer can get. Look at it this way... if every car that was made was perfect, would car dealerships have service departments? I have owned Honda in the past and have literally driven them into the ground. (I have yet to see a Ford with over 150K miles on it, sill running!). I think you should reconsider Honda. It truly is a great automobile.
I agree with the second person's comments. Probably any auto manufacturer can make the occasional "lemon" and it's a shame when that happens, but I have a 1999 Accord and a 2001 Oddy and they both run extremely well, with almost no problems in a combined 11 years of driving. My dealer has been excellent in every respect - again, if you have a bad local dealer that's a shame, but complain to head office about that. Honda makes great cars, and every Honda owner I've ever talked to is happy with their vehicle. Now, Dodge or Ford owners - that's a different story!
