2001 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
"Expensive and not as reliable as it should be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The sliding side door on the driver's side kept getting stuck--a real safety issue in an emergency. It took 3 visits for the dealer to take the problem seriously and fix it. We've had weird transmission jerking and noises since about 10,000 miles. Now engine lights and service lights keep popping on, but no one knows why, although they think it might be transmission related. It needed new tires and brakes at 30,000 miles, despite excellent maintenance.
General comments?
We're disappointed to have so many problems with a Honda.
