2002 Honda Odyssey EXL review from North America
"Annoying problems and bad, bad dealer make Honda 's reputation suffer badly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sticking sliding door gaskets. Unable to exit car from middle seats without climbing to front seats.
Drift to the right on all roads even roads crowned to left.
Heavy torque steer. This cannot be fixed.
Splotchy silver paint.
Cranks, but no start at times. Sometimes have to wait several minutes to restart car.
12-15 mpg in city driving. Poor mileage.
Loud clank from rear brakes.
General comments?
Dealer has high prices and bad service. Bad, bad dealer Scott Robinson is so bad that I will be returning to Toyota or some other brand for the next vehicle. All lip service and no listening to the customer. They are uninterested in fixing the problem once they have your money.
Engine and cornering good for a van, but high prices and bad dealer service are strong negatives.
