Honda Odyssey is a Piece of Junk

[Anonymous]

Anyone else have a Honda Odyssey that's just has one problem after the other?

What year do you have? And yes, my 2014 has transmission problems that can't really fix but I've sunk $3,000 into trying to figure it out. The transmission jumps and lurches sometimes when accelerating/changing gears. If you read the Honda forums there are tons of posts about how terrible Odysseys are, mostly from 2014-present.

My friend has the same car, and yes, it did end up having problems. She then bought another one! I think that unless you have technical knowledge and can repair certain things yourself, any car will end up at the mechanic rather often. We've had the same thing happen to our Mazda 5, and our friends all say the same thing about their cars.

The only car I've known with fewer problems is my old Corolla. It's a 2005 model, perhaps the parts are more durable?

My Ford Fusion doesn’t have any of those problems. Neither does my husband’s Mercedes GLC. Honda is just a crappy brand.

Used to have insane transmission problems. I guess, per your post, it still might have.

Corollas are the most reliable car on the market. Until 2017, I think, they started messing with their transmission then. More durable than their Camry.

I’m still driving a 2007 with 80,000 miles on it and it’s been very good to me.

What year is your Odyssey, OP, and what have the problems been?

Older models... early 2000 models. they were supposed to have it fixed by 2003/2004 model though

All CVT transmissions are junk.

Amen! When we were looking for a Toyota last year, we only looked at models that do not have CVT.

We have a 2009 Odyssey with 100K on it. It's been pretty darned reliable over the years.

I have a 2008 Toyota Sienna with 110k miles-all we ever do is change the oil and sometimes replace the brake pads and tires.

This is not true. As with every car manufacturer, there are some lemon models, but Honda (and Acura) is generally very reliable, and right beside Toyota (and Lexus).
