Worst Purchase Ever. Unreliable.

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.

Should have left it at the dealership

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!

2023 Honda Odyssey EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)

This van is awesome! It's quiet, rides like a luxury car, is loaded with electronics (it's just the EX-L!), and is really quick and fun to drive. We bought it in May of 2021 and just turned over 25k miles and have had no problems. The only glitch is that the adaptive cruise sometimes overreacts in curves when a car in the adjacent lane gets too close to their lane marker and the van taps the brakes. This happens seldom but it can be annoying when it does. Still, we really enjoy this van and love taking it on trips. The full range adaptive cruise is also great in heavy and slow bumper-to-bumper traffic as the van almost drives itself, even coming to a stop and taking off again on it's own. Sometimes I almost forget I'm the one who's driving! This is our 4th Odyssey (2002, 2007, 2019, 2022) and we'll probably trade again for the 2025 when it arrives. I considered a Pacifica but we rented a Pacifica for a business trip once and drove it for about 1800 miles and, while the Pacifica is a nice van, it simply doesn't measure up to the quality and reliability of the Honda. I hope Honda sticks with the V6 engine rather than follow what Toyota did with the new Sienna (went hybrid only), which I've heard is a disaster due to the loud and underpowered 4 cylinder lawn mower engine the Sienna has. The Odyssey V6 is smooth, quiet, and quick.
