The power sliding door motor and track assemblies needed replacement shortly after purchase.
The front brake pads and rotors needed replacement at 70K miles.
No other problems whatsoever.
This van has been nothing short of a dream come true for us. It is very comfortable, has ample power, and handles like a car rather than a van.
We are permanantly converted to Honda and will be customers for life.
Most of the complaints on this forum about the Odyssey are regarding the transmission and doors. Honda has a problem with these areas on this van. However, the lack of any other major issues is rarely mentioned. This van does not get enough credit. We love our Odyssey and we know it will provide more years of trouble-free service than any other competitor's so-called minivan. We have owned the Chrysler and Toyota vans, and they simply do not measure up.
I would have to agree!!! No to mention any names, but I work for Chrysler.. and I drive a 99 Odyssey EX. It's been in the family since brand new and has been the best vehicle BY FAR that we've ever owned. 132,000km on it now, many many trips all over Canada and the US, and never a problem. It really has been fabulous!! And for the other CRAP out there... they really don't stand up... I have lots of proof!! Happy Motoring in your Honda!!
