2000 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
"Honda's are always one of the best buys"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side sliding door often will not open from outside nor inside. A safety hazard and a bother. Dealer has not made a permanent fix after five tries over three years. When I bring it in they wipe the track as if I were getting it dirty. I have liked Honda products, including this van, but I won't buy another one unless this problem is fixed.
This may not be a Honda problem, but my driver's side front tire will not hold pressure. Three different rim/tires have been mounted here and they all loss pressure down to below 20 PSI almost immediately. The same tires and rims work find when mounted elsewhere. No leaks can be found. Very mysterious.
General comments?
I don't understand why Honda refuses to make seats a little deeper. everyone seems to be bothered with poor thigh support on all Hondas and Acuras.
Customer service at my dealer is very poor. I have started going to another one. The first one cares about nothing except pushing more high cost maintenance.
