Used 2008 Honda Odyssey Minivan Consumer Reviews

Rust problems Truck Around Tail Light

Honda Poor Customer Service In just 5 years rust in around rear signal lights broke through the paint and started flaking off. It was unbelievable. I told Honda of the issue and they inspected the vechile and they concluded the vechile had not been in an accident or repainted. They would not pay for the repair. Van was well in perfect conditions otherwise. Amazing van to drive but customer service. Terrible! Be careful.

Mini Van Man

Overall we are satisfied, however, we did have some transmission/recall issues to work through. Honda and the dealership stood by their product and completely resolved them to our satisfaction.

Great car

This is my second Honda Odyssey, first one 2002-2008, it is a great van, fun to drive, smooth, good fuel economy, strong and dependable, I drove the van from Cincinnati to Chicago with family of 5 and infant in a car seat, carrying 10 luggages, no problems at all, navigation needs update, dvd is excellent, wish if awd is available. This van worth every Penny.

Creaking, Squeaking, & Rattling

The first 3 months, this van was in the dealership off and on for 7 weeks. The rattling noises in the windows and doors were so loud that my 5 year old son thought it was hailing outside on a sunny day. Overall, space is awesome. Dvd & Nav function w/o any issues. Rear view camera is strange & deceiving. Almost out of car seats and will definitely switch out to a less noisy SUV.

Good reliable family vehicle

This vehicle is a very comfortable cruising van. It handles like a sedan. It is quiet, It has a ton of options for which the means of setting them is not at all obvious Fuel usage is in the 20 - 28 mpg

Can a Mini Van be Classy?

This one is. I keep it clean and it's a pleasure to ride in. I have knee and hip issues, so being up in the air make getting in and out a whole lot easier. It's been good to us and I expect it to continue. The local dealership has been trying to buy it back for years, so that's a great indication of how valuable and reliable the used Odysseys are. It's too big for our needs now so we'll probably get something smaller when we part with this one, but it has served us well. The Odyssey continues to amaze me. No problems at all. Change oil and filters regular, rotate tires regularly and it runs as strong today as it did when we first bought it. No interest in parting with it and taking on monthly car payments again. This one is just fine.

Poor Tranny

Have had nothing but problems with the transmission.

Never buy a honda

Have owned Odessey since 10-08.My husband and I thought we were buying a reliable vehicle for our family, but proven wrong!While driving with our 2 children in the van hit the brakes to slow down and the vehicle accelerated on its own.We had to fight to keep from hitting the turning car in front of us.Had in dealership 6 times to fix the problem NOT fixed yet. This isn't a constant problem and dealer can not diagnose a problem. May not happen for another 600 miles. Therefore while driving constantly have hand on gear shift in case the van needs to be put in neutral.Scared to death to have kids in the van. Air leaks, wind noise, interior lights come for no reason!

5,000 Mile Update - Not Good!

OK - I have to agree with another reviewer that said many folks will take back their great ratings after putting some miles on the Ody. This is a follow up to an earlier review. The 2008 Ody drives and handles well, but that's where it all stops. Our problems to date include: steering spline knock, faulty wheel alignment, engine ping/knock, oil leak, rattling front windows, and Air Conditioning that currently works only on the passenger side. None of these issues were of course apparent when the car was purchased, but it did not take very long for them to surface. We are bringing the Ody in for service tomorrow, so we'll see how things go. But for now, it's two big thumbs down!
