2003 Honda Odyssey review from North America
"Good but not great, would not get another Odyssey"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Returned vehicle for 45,000 mile service check. I had noticed in the past couple of weeks that the idle was not steady, fluctuating between 800 to 1100 rpm. In the past few days the shifting to fourth gear was delayed until 48 mph. I mentioned this to service and they found a wire that was broken at the p/s switch. This was repaired for $111.00 and not covered under any warranty including extended care. I plan to contact the manufacturer about this.
General comments?
Generally pleased, a lot of wind noise at higher speeds.
Love the rear folding seat and cargo space when seat is upright.
Hoping to get 10 years/200,000 miles out of this vehicle.
Worried about the negative transmission comments, had a friend get one replaced on her 2000 at no charge at 80,000 miles, good P.R. Honda!
