2001 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America
"Disappointed, Honda rushed to build them when supply didn't meet demand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side automatic door alarm has been repaired 3 times and still won't shut off.
General comments?
Cheap hardware is my biggest complaint. I have had several hardware failures like headrest clips & seat latch release. The power sliding doors are a parents biggest fear. They don't always reverse, the remote control is to sensitive and the alarm problem is driving me crazy. The shift colum blocks the radio. The driver side power seat controls have a mind of their own. The back of my thigh often rest on the controls when exiting the van causing the seat to adjust. Honda should consider using real people when designing this stuff. If your over 6ft watch your head on the rear hatch. Wind noise makes for a loud ride.
