2000 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
"Excellent car if it wasn't for the sliding door problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've also experienced most of the problems listed here with my 2000 Odyssey. Our clock ligth went out at around 50,000 miles. The grinding brake noise, and definitely the sliding doors which have gotten so bad on ours that it feels like you are going to separate your shoulder just trying to get them open! The door sensor light flashes off and on every time we hit a bump and if it happens to be on when we shut the vehicle off (even thought the slider is shut), the dome light stays on and drains the battery. We also had our speedometer go out at 66,000 miles. I was driving it one day at about 30 mph, but the speedometer said I was doing 120! It never came down even when we shut it off, so it had to be replaced.
General comments?
I must say though we have never had a transmission or engine problem...
