2002 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America
"Over priced, with questionable reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased a New 2003 Honda Odyssey EX about a month ago. At first I was very pleased with my purchase, I thought that I had made the best choice of Van available on the market. I paid over MSRP because that's what the going rate is supposed to be. Recently I have started noticing some problems with my prized purchase. Two times after parking the van and turning off the engine the passenger power sliding door automatically opened? The first time I parked the van turned off the engine and unlocked the doors, while I was waiting for my wife to unbuckle our baby the passenger sliding door suddenly opened. I thought that maybe I had accidentally pushed the button on the remote, but it happened a second time. The second time I had already gotten out of the van and when I walked around to the passenger side to open the door it had already opened?
General comments?
The van handles well and has good pickup. I worry about long term reliability on this vehicle.
