Like the MDX and Pilot's from this plant - very disappointing transmissions. Jerky shifting, rpm's revving up and down for no reason while driving, especially uphill. Would not recommend. We are trying to get rid of our '14 Odyssey so we test drove the MDX's. Same darn problem. Transmission pulls the car back at low speeds and herky jerky rpm's going uphills. I owned an '05 civic for 215,000 miles and found it very reliable nice ride. The Odyssey has cool features inside but the transmission shifting is awful.

I followed the service for this vehicle to the letter with the dealer doing all the repairs. Got to 112,000 miles and the ring went bad in cylinders 1, 2 and 3. Found out there is a recall for this on the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. They don't pull the engine, they just pull off the oil pan, crank and pull the pistons out. Replace the rings and shove them back into the block. I would love to know which government agency to complain to about this to get my year on the recall too. $3700 dollars later I got my car back and it is running fine but come on Honda. This is outrageous.

Our 2001 Chrysler T&C tranny died, so we shopped for a new vehicle. We test drove and thoroughly inspected the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna and were open to buying either. While we loved the roominess, front seats, ease of steering and quick acceleration in the Sienna. We liked the ease of use, electronics layout and smarter features on the Odyssey better. Both are excellent cars. Sienna is roomier but hard to figure out the controls on the tiny screen and to move the 2nd row seats - 3rd row is cramped for adults. The Odyssey has good use of space and better electronics layout, easier to operate seats and gadgets, and seems sportier to drive on the Odyssey. Love our new 2014 Odyssey.
The Brakes and Rotors Suck!!

At twenty-some thousand miles, we had to have the rotors turned because we were regularly getting a bad pulsing when braking. The dealer's service dept. told us the "brake rotors were thinner than those in our 2009 model" which were never a problem. Why would Honda cheapen anything having to do with brakes? This is a key safety feature. We had two Odyssey's -- 2009 and 2014. We will NOT buy another one! They've lost us as customers with their "cost-saving cutbacks."

2nd honda odyssey. 1st was an 08 and it was great. Our 2014 on the other hand has 20000 miles on it and has had the rotors turned 3 times. Not replaced because that's not what the honda specs say to do so they grind them down. It also has a clunk in the front end. I called honda and they suggested the brakes got hot from riding them. The regional rep didn't seem to care and waived the resurfacing cost since the brakes are now out of warranty. No explaining why our 2008 didn't have that problem. We paid more so we could have a good vehicle and that doesn't seem to be the case. We even drive 2 hours to a certified dealer. I will trade very soon.
Seats 8, hauls, tows need nothing else. Code confusion.

Why is reliability stars required? How would I know as it is new with less than 200 miles. There are only a few choices to seat 8 people -sub as light tow truck/haul cargo. The Honda Odyssey rose to the top no matter how I sliced it and diced it. The Toyota seemed very dated on the interior. If I am going to spend 30ish grand then I would expect a little more pizzazz in the interior. Otherwise the Toyota was a solid contender. We would seldom need to seat 8 but for the times when parking is a problem we can all meet and pile in and make the last drive/arrive together at the event. Therefore I spent the extra to upgrade from the LX 7 pass. to the EX 8 pass.

Before reaching 20,000 miles started experiencing steering wheel shimmy when applying the brakes. Turns out I have warped rotors. Never had this problem with any other new vehicle. I understand the warranty is only good for 12,000 miles. Could this possibly be a recall problem. Also updated the navigation map based on recommendation. You can do this yourself my inserting CD and following instructions. Did so, but now every time I start the engine, I get a message stating map is not valid. Update - Honda indicates there is no problem with rotors. Goodle search indicates differently. I had rotors changed and problem went away.

2009 through 2014 Odysseys have issues with piston rings failing and allowing oil into the cylinder. Honda will not help you out AT ALL if your exact vin number does not fall into group. Our 2014 Odyssey rings failed and Honda will not help us at all! We will never Ever! Buy another Honda!

Same paint issues. . . SAD

I have a 2014 that has the same paint issue of poor adhesion to the primer and has peeled on the roof in the front. I have seen two others in my town that look exactly alike. Like most others here I got the runaround form the dealer and Honda. This is the fifth Honda in my family as I have always believed in them. I am so torn since my loyalty has not been reciprocated in this case... Might be time to consider Toyota. . .

Overall in spite of its size a great city and cross country travel vehicle. Only major negatives were replacement of short block at 37000 miles which was under warranty and rear suspension problems at 50000.
