1999 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America
"Extremely unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power sliding doors still do not close correctly. Incredibly harsh ride with tons of road noise in cabin. The vehicle will not hold an alignment. Radiator and coolant reserve tank overheated requiring compete replacement. Transmission failure required replacement. Dashboard lights go out when headlights are on.
General comments?
Great design. Poor execution. The absolute worst car ownership experience I have had. Extremely disapointed with my first import brand car.
