2000 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America
"A big white chunk of Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power sliding doors are a very big problem with the van. The van has been in the repair shop 7 time and the doors are still not correct.
The power rear vents have been a problem in the past. It took 3 trips to the dealer to correct.
I have replaced all of the rear brake lights twice.
The Automatic Air Conditioner does not work correctly. The fan speed controller does not turn the fan speed to max automatically even on the hottest days (90 degrees in the hot sun) the fan speeds stays on low.
The automatic transmission gear selector is not easy to use. The gear selector passes Drive 4 and goes down to 2nd gear.
General comments?
The van was a problem from the first day. We have worked with the dealer (s) trying to get the problems corrected, but they cannot correct them.
I can say with no remorse that this is the LAST Honda product that I will ever buy.
