2018/2019 Odyssey issues?

[Anonymous]

I made the mistake of searching the OdyClub forum for issues in the latest model. Is anyone here experiencing these issues?

- loud engine knocking
- jerky transmission
- sliding door issues
- poor gas mileage

?? If you believe the forums, these problems are rampant yet everyone I know with this car seems happy.

Thoughts?

Those forums attract only the owners with issues by definition.

Consumer reports downgraded the Odyssey starting with the 2018 model year because of the unreliability of the entertainment system and the sliding doors. They usually LOVE the Odyssey.

This is for 2019

Mind not everybody is reporting problems but if you see one reported there is usually 100 unreported for a given problem. However if you don't see a problem it is usually not a problem.

I have a 2019 odyssey. I am shocked at how terrible the gas mileage is. But other than that haven't had any issues. Only 6k miles though, so I would be pissed if i had any issues at this point.

You haven't heard? New 2019 Models come reequipped with miniature Odysseus and his crew, who are so tinny that nobody can see them, they hide during the day but at night they come and they clean your car and maintain the engine. However they also have bad habit of getting drunk on your fuel that they siphon from your tank. Oh, and that occasional mini puke you knew you have not seen yesterday, no, not the mouse in case you wondered. So.. now you know.
Oh, you never know if Penelope is not somewhere around so just walk very carefully!

How terrible is your mileage? Vans of this size generally get about 20-22 miles to the gallon depending on the combination of highway and city driving. There is no magic.

I am getting about 19. I thought it would be a little better, but the vehicle is huge. Other than that no issues.
