So far, so good in my 2022 Touring. The darker grey color with the black interior looks quite classy. Interior is much quieter than I expected. The engine has more than enough power to lug around our family of five plus cargo. Very comfortable on the few 4+ hour road trips we have taken. We definitely like the amount of USB cords available. Overall, this van seems to be a solid buy. I will update with more mileage. UPDATE: 20,000 trouble free miles now on this van. I’ve come to appreciate the adaptive cruise and lane keeping assist when I go on long road trips. The interior is holding up well as is the exterior. Tires still have plenty of tread, brakes working almost as new. We upgraded the rear suspension with a set of Timbren SES’s. It tightened up the back when we had a heavy load in the vehicle. Highly recommend this van to anyone looking. UPDATE: 30,000 miles now and nary a problem. I appreciate the automatic hi-beams and the interior and exterior are holding up well. Starting to look into a set of upgraded front brakes, a vibration is starting to occur at times under anything harder than normal braking. Tires have been rotated At recommended intervals and have a good amount of tread left. Nothing negative to report at all, the van is serving our family well. UPDATE: 40,000 miles, zero issues. Will be putting new tires on this van within the next month, the original tires are about to tap out as are the front brakes. I’ll replace them with some Centric rotors and Akebono pads. A few 17+ hour road trips under her belt and still rides tight and comfortable. UPDATE 1/10/24: Dropped 4 new shoes on the van at 43,000. I really like these Michelin Defender 2’s that we purchased at COSTCO. I also installed a set of Centric rotors and Akebono pads at around 46,000 miles. The original pads had plenty of life on them but the current setup is definitely an upgrade. The fan stops much better now. Currently at 49,000 and zero major issues with the van. Minor concern is it seems the FM reception is awful. Other than that I’m very happy with the vehicle. The interior is wearing very well and no exterior issues.

Transmission Died at 2k miles

We were 2 hours into a 5-hour road trip when the transmission on our brand new 2022 Elite Odyssey slipped into neutral going 70 mph on a busy interstate. The fact we made it over to the shoulder safely is a miracle. There were no warning lights that came on to indicate a problem, the car just stopped accelerating out of nowhere. The van was towed to a nearby dealer (hours from our house) and it remains there over two weeks later while waiting for the transmission to come in. Honda America has been completely unhelpful and I am counting down the days for my state's lemon law to kick in. I reported the issue to the NTSB and have seen multiple other reports of the same issue with the 2022 model in other forums. Honda should be taking this seriously before someone is seriously injured or killed...as I mentioned we were lucky. Our case manager has been completely useless. Please take note future buyers and Honda if you care to read reviews such as mine.

We purchased our BRAND NEW 2022 Odyssey in May 2021. 300 miles into driving it the transmission went completely out on the highway without warning and left us stranded in an unsafe situation. They had to completely replace it. Since that incident, we’ve gone on two family road trips and it has left us stranded both times in the way home with our two toddlers and dog. Zero warning. Neither the dealership nor Honda corporate has done anything to make it right. I would NEVER EVER recommend this van or another Honda to anyone. It’s completely unreliable and unsafe.

The electronics are awful. One day the lane assist works the next it doesn’t. Even when it does work I only get a warning light which I don’t usually see. The idle option doesn’t work unless I turn the heat off. One day I was backing up and a big truck was coming behind me and no warning sound came on. This van’s been to my dealership countless times. They keep telling me everything is fine. I’m so sick of the frustration involved.
sliding door will not shut

5 miles into our new car and the driver side sliding door would not shut. I have had it towed to the dealership 3 times now. Has been "in the shop" for over 26 days now so we are super close to declaring this one a lemon. Honda has tried to fix it, replaced a ton of parts on the door, but it appears some electronics are preventing it from shutting. Nothing worse than 4 kids in car seats, the door won't shut then you have to get it towed door open to a dealer ship..... What a disaster!

The car is great in almost every way - drives like a luxury sedan, is quiet, responsive and hi tech. There are a few annoying aspects. The driver's / front row seat belt should ride up about an inch higher. I'm 6'1" and its not quite high enough. Not a show stopper but certainly annoying. The arm rests for the second row seats are like sticks. They have no width to them. These won't comfortably support an adult's arms. What the heck? It seems like they cheaped out on this to save a few dollars but its ridiculous. Bad decision on their part. Another very bad decision on the design is that they seemed to have reduced the height of the interior (and overall height) of the car. I could load two or three biikes in my old Odyssey with the middle seats out with no diffifculty. In the new Odyssey its very very difficult to arrange two bikes to fit. Possible but difficult. I know they're trying to make the car sleeker, but reducing the height just takes away functionality. One reason to buy a minivan is for its loading capacity. The height dimension is important. Again why did they do this? This is the most annoying change to the vehicle. Anyway, other than that, the car is just great.

Switched from 2007 to 2022

I had my 2007 ocean mist Odyssey EXL for 14 years with 215,000 miles on it when I totaled it on a frozen bridge couple of miles from home. My kids grew up in that van that took us all over the USA and Canada. Never had any issues. It was a truly family vehicle with tons of storage space. Wife insisted on another Odyssey. Got 2022 EXL in March of 2021. The vehicle looks sharp, handling is amazing so is the acceleration. Ton of safety features that practically allows van to be “self driving .” Wife and my grown kids love the new van. I am not crazy about it though. Yes, I love the electronic steering versus pump driven one, but I feel the hesitation in the gear shifting. I am not implying the the transaction is bad, it’s just different from the 2007 model. What bothers me also is that the van doesn’t feel to be a family hauler anymore. They made it sporty while completely removing the in floor storage along with all the hidden storage components that used to be in the third generation Odysseys. The grill on 21-22 models is different from 18-20 models and it’s ugly. Wish Honda kept the original one. It’s my personal opinion based on observations that the Honda quality isn’t there. It feels as if the “dealership will fix” mentality has taken over since there’s a huge deficit of the new vehicles. In couple of spots I see the gap misaligned and the rubber weatherstripping on the lift gate window is kinked and twisted. Overall the van is a good buy and no major issues.

Truly Elite!

After selling our beloved Toyota Sienna this spring, we purchased a 2022 Odyssey Elite in June and have already taken it on a week+ road trip from Minneapolis to NYC, CT and Cape Cod, followed by a shorter journey to the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. It is currently sitting at just under 5K miles, and we have loved every minute of owning this Odyssey. We met or exceeded the estimated highway MPG on both of our trips, and we have never driven in such a quiet vehicle. Both road noise and other ambient noise are effectively mitigated. We have found the Odyssey to be supremely comfortable, fast, smooth and quiet, and we have enjoyed all of the nooks and crannies for storage. Plenty of room even with our dog and kennel along. All-in-all: A truly elite road trip vehicle. (Also, top safety ratings were a driving factor in our decision to purchase, but glad we waited some of the refinements made in the 2021/22 models.)

I keep comparing this to my 10 year old mini van

I traded in my 10 year old grand caravan for a new 2022 Honda Odyssey. Maybe I expected too much but I miss my old van! The heat and air does not work half as well as my old van! I can not even tell that the seats are heated. It gets slightly warm but that is it. I like to remote start the vehicle to get it warmed up in the winter and I run it two cycles (20 minutes) and it is still cold when I get it. Yes, we have the heat settings full blast on high. What is going on. My old mini would be almost too hot on one cycle. The air and heat are LOUD when turned up high. Much louder than my old mini. Another thing that is really annoying is the remote start. Most vehicles allow remote from the app, however Honda makes you pay a yearly fee!!! That right there is enough for me to never buy another Honda. The push button controls did not fully engage in drive and it sounded like the car was going to explode, I quickly pulled over to restart the car and hope that it would be in the right gear. I have less than 5000 miles on this vehicle and I am ready to trade it in:(
