2001 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America

Been in the dealer shop couple of times for minor fixes like replacement of storage panel lid in the 3rd row and middle row seat rattles etc.

I own a 2001 Odyssey purchased new in May 2001, which has 59K miles on the Odometer.

Had Engine oil changes done at the dealer for first couple years or so and since then have changed it myself every 3 months, period.

Battery was replaced at Kragen Auto for $60 about 2 months ago around 57K miles. Took it to the dealer for complete brake oil flush and tranny oil drain and refill at 48k miles 8 months ago.

Had rotors resurfaced and front brake pads changed once at the shop and did it once myself.

Never towed any vehicle and never noticed or had any tranny issues to-date, check eng light or TCS (Knock on wood). But we do occasionally pack the van with family & haul luggage etc for vacation and round trips etc.

Even though our van was not included in the tranny recall, we do however have our tranny covered for 100k miles or 7 years and also rcvd a 80k miles warranty extension on all emissions parts including the Cat converter and EGR valve.

Suggestion to folks who have posted here: check out the Odyssey club forums at http://www.odyclub.com/forums/

with lots of useful info including DIY and recall info.

Happy Ody owner (so far)
