Odyssey does not sound like an appealing name for a car. Considering the fact that in the original Odyssey myth, Odysseus was the only one of 600 men who returned home after a 10 year journey that was supposed to take only one month. Odyssey sounds like a vehicle that will leave you stranded and kill everyone else who rode with you

[@noheaderlast1296]

I used to watch Scotty 3 times a week. Now it seems he degrades cars no one has or cares about. I've had 2 Odysseys and neither had transmission problems, I gave the first one to a good home after 287k miles. 2nd one is still going strong and is turning 13.

Had a 2008 Honda Odyssey. Got it with 75k miles on it. When it was T-Boned and totaled in an accident, it had over 300k miles on it. Original engine and transmission. Always took care of it, changed the oil every 3k miles had the transmission serviced every year. Would still be going strong if it wasn't totaled out. Miss that van, best family car I've ever had!

[@jlmurrel]

Yes, indeed. I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey with 393,000 miles and it runs beautifully. This guy just has an ax to grind.

[@Brett235]

My sister bought one of these several years ago. It had 35,000 miles on it and was basically new. After about 10,000 miles of her owning it the transmission went out. My dad helped her replace the transmission. Shortly after the replacement it started slipping again. They got it fixed again. On the way home he wanted to ride with her to see how she was driving the van. He said that every time she would start from a dead stop she would literally floor the accelerator...lol he said that it's no wonder why she kept burning out the transmission.

5:10 "This isn't a race car". When I was researching our 2006 Odyssey (still have it, runs great) I saw a review of it where they compared it on the track to a classic Porsche and a jag from the 1960's. The van was comparable and beat them in several of the tests (like the slalom, braking, etc.) Just shows what 40 years of technology can do.

[@skunkbucket9408]

We bought our '06 Odyssey brand new and it now has 280,000 miles on it. Other than an issue with a sliding door when it was a couple years old, it has been basically perfect, despite my wife thinking she's Mario Andretti. It's on its third timing belt, and the transmission fluid has been changed twice, but we're not particularly religious about maintenance. It doesn't run quite as smoothly as when it was brand new, but it's still a lot nicer to drive than the '14 Dodge Caravan I use at work.

[@austinhernandez2716]

That's a miracle because it should have been changed at LEAST 6 times with that many miles

@@austinhernandez2716not true. You only need to replace the timing belt every 90k miles which is about 3 times in his case. If he changed the timing belt 6 times he’d be changing every 43k miles which is just too soon and you’d be wasting money.

Scotty, my wife and I drove our 2012 Honda Odyssey Elite for 305k + miles. The first tranny gave out around 175k and we had our local shop put a reman tranny in to replace it. by the time we traded it in, the cam was ticking and we never found out what it was. Still got $1500 on trade! Bought a 2019 Pilot. Traded that on a 2022 Black Edition after driving 40k, got $2000 more for trade than we bought it for in 2021. Love that Honda 3.5 V6.

Had a 2007 Odyssey. Traded it in with 226,000 miles on it. It ran just fine. The only thing I ever had to replace was the starter, an o ring on the power steering pump and the a/c relay.(that is besides regular maintenance items). So less than $400 in repairs

[@tony64t]

I just sat through the biggest piece of cap ever. Coming from someone who’s owned a 2006 since 2009, I can truly say that, in spite of its flaws, it’s the best all-around vehicle I’ve ever owned ❤. Years ago, I rented a fully loaded 2020 Toyota Sienna, for a week, and was amazed at how much rougher its engine ran than my15+ years old Odyssey. Recently had to choose between getting rid of the van, or replacing the transmission. This was during the peak of people charging new car prices for used cars, and dealers wanting me to take out a second mortgage for a new car. I decided to replace the transmission with a used low mileage unit from Japan. Along with the labor, it cost me $3K. Since the transplant, we made a round-trip excursion from Florida to Pennsylvania without a problem. We’re pushing 210k miles on ours.

I had an Odyssey that also had transmission problems, until the engine warmed-up; afterward, it drove fine. It was only a few years old. So I traded it back to the dealer who sold it to me, but I made sure the engine was warmed-up, before he took it for a test drive. 😆

[@fakejeepman06]

Our 17 Odyssey did a similar thing at 50k miles. It was the opposite. It was fine until it was warm. It accelerated choppy and shuddered. We took it to the dealership with a TSB we found for the issue. The issue was that the transmission fluid in Honda 6 speed automatics would degrade too quick. So they flushed the fluid 3 times. Issue went away. Now our power train warranty is extended to 120k. Instead of a 100k mile interval, you have to change the fluid every 30k.

[@325xitgrocgetter]

I think the key here is frequent fluid changes.....We've had a few of these vans. Our 2009 needed a piston ring upgrade to address the VCM based oil burning. I made it a point to change when the maintenance minder had 50 percent oil life left. We have a 2017 with 71,000 miles on it and so far so good...no oil burning issues.

My 2002 has 284,000 miles and still runs. I bought it with 73,000 miles from a friend. I don't baby it either. Motor mounts are shot (again) and body is rotted but still drives. At 230,000 the transmission started throwing codes. I changed fluid (drain and fill 3 times as instructed in manual) for the 2nd time I've owned it, changed the external filter for the first time (I didn't know it had one the first time), added a quality transmission cooler (recommended by a Honda mechanic I met in a parts store), and prayed. I worried changing fluid would make it slip worse and set code again. Running great now! I adjusted the valves the 2nd time I changed timing belt. First time I used OEM Honda parts and water pump as precaution. 2nd time I used Dayco kit with pump, rollers and tensioner. 2 weeks later engine sounds like a diesel, valves were tapping pistons, hydraulic tensioner from Dayco kit had failed (made of Chinesium). I put the old tensioner back in and it has been fine ever since! I change oil every 4000 miles (let it go to 8000 a couple times), used to use recommended 5w-20 or 30, whatever it calls for, but after 200,000 miles I just used 10w30 as I keep it for my old cars and figured tolerances were loose enough by now and the thin oils are for EPA, not longevity though modern engines with hydraulic tensioners etc probably should be given recommended oil but I thought it may protect the cams, who knows...Not sure the engine has the power it had years ago, it used to be able to chirp the tires at upshift under heavy throttle but it still has ok power. I don't baby it nor did my teen kids when they used to drive it. I haul tools, lumber and drywall in it. Has coilover overload shocks in the back.

[@deluxsundial]

Had an ‘04 Odyssey for about 10 years and 200k miles, bought it new. Right away I installed an aftermarket trans cooler. Pulled trailers that were well over the rated towing capacity (installed heavy lift springs and airbag suspension inside the coils at Desert Rat off-road center in Phoenix). It towed trailers from AZ to IN no issues ever. Was a beast of a van and ran great until we traded it in. I don’t think it had the newer VTEC engine, but I could be wrong. We loved it!

[@mplslawnguy3389]

I think most people would be happy to get 230,000 miles on any vehicle without major tranny or engine problems. When I was younger most people would be happy to get 100,000 trouble-free miles.

Scotty, I am second owner of a 2003 Honda Odyssey. I listened to you on your take of this van after I bought it. First of all, the rear seat was removed due to it sitting in a flooded trunk. The hatch leaks so I sealed all joint welds around the door. Still leak. So I had my son drill some holes in the floor to drain the water. Not useable. The engine has a miss in it and not sure what is going on there. Drives well, still gets great gas mileage, I wish I could bring it to you. Maybe then I could get to the bottom of the problem.

Once in a while Scotty gets some details wrong, this is one case. The odysseys with bad transmissions were the 99-2004, this lingered but by 2007 odyssey got the 5 speed from the ridgeline and they are as solid as anything in the industry. I had an 07 ex-l, now have a 16 elite, no tranny issues. It is well known you need to regularly flush and fill the trans, and muzzle that awful VCM. Im not sure what hes going on about with cam failures. Ive been a frequent poster at odyclub forum for 6 years now and dont recall any discussions about that. Im not saying it never happens but if it was rampant there would be talk about it. So Scotty raises some valid points but he overstates their frequency, or the fact the issues were fixed by honda (transmission) or can easily be mitigated (muzzling VCM, servicing trans fluid). Fact overlooked is the honda odyssey is by a long shot, the best driving minivan on the road year after year. My 16 Elite drives like a 4 dr sports sedan, truly amazing. Zero reliability issues.

I own a 2001 Odyssey with 123,000 miles. I change the oil *and* transmission fluid once a year. I've never had any motor or transmission problems. I've always used Honda brand trans fluid, which is critical to their longevity. The people who are having problems for the most part are people who aren't treating them well. I drive it pretty normally, only flooring it when I absolutely have to to avoid traffic. I've changed the front brake pads twice. Changed the plugs once. Changed the timing belt once. Really the only annoyance I've had is that the passenger window won't roll up from the driver's side, and the rear vent windows were getting hard to close with the power window switch so I eventually just closed them and never opened them again. All in all it's a great van.

[@karnubawax]

If your transmission isn't shifting fast enough the Odyssey 05-10 has a valve adjustment for the clutch engagement under the air box, it requires a 5 point allen key for $15: the top screw adjusts the up shift; the bottom controls the down shift, the factory sets the downshift way 2k and they set the upshift 3k when the clutches wear out if you tighten the screws the shifting becomes more responsive to the gas pedal, and adjusting them together gets you a different rpm range it shifts in, even if you go as high as 3k downshift and 4k upshift the variation ration of the fluid press isn't to far to do ot yourself and keep guessing until it's where you want it, made a huge difference when I merge in traffic

[@christhornycroft3686]

My grandpa was a mechanic who worked on cars and WWII airplanes. He always said that British cars were the hardest to work on. He was a Chrysler/Dodge/GM guy and ended up with a 1988 Hyundai Pony before he passed away because a cousin talked him into it. I don't think he was happy with it. Personally, I like German cars, the Genesis G90, the Chrysler 300 and the Jag (even though I should know better). My first car was a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker and I'm still furious as a guy with a bad back that cars are so uncomfortable now. Luxury cars are just sports cars with leather seats. I don't care whether I can take a corner at high speed if I need to visit the chiropractor and take a pain pill. None of the new cars, even the "luxury" cars impress me. It's so frustrating. If anything, the Genesis actually looks closest to an old school, comfortable luxury car. It doesn't have my New Yorker's velour seats, which I miss badly, but they're not bad. Hondas never really impressed me. My second car was a 1990 Acura Integra and it literally felt like I was riding around in a box. The quality was not very good at all. For a while, I considered a Lexus, but they still look "sporty."

[@thisismagacountry1318]

[@jsrosa1282]

I own a 2002 MDX Touring, 209k miles. My uncle, the original owner, bought it brand-new in 2002 and he recently gave it to me as a gift. It has been serviced at the same dealership where it was bought for the last 21 years. It's a family heirloom and I don't plan on ever getting rid of it.

[@ticktock2383]

My 2003 Odyssey was purchased for $500 because the dealer told the lady it was the transmission. She went into a nursing home and I bought the van on a hunch. Only had 139k miles. It was just the brake safety switch😊

[@alpha-omega2362]

ok. just to be clear . you bought the car from the little old lady not the dealer. It seemed at first that you bought it from the dealer. but you're saying the dealer essentially told her that the car was not worth repairing so she (or her family) sold it to you for $500..00........what's a brake safety switch and how did it get confused with transmission problems ...? thanks in advance.

Have an 05 odyssey with 370k Mike's on it. Runs like a dream. I'm gonna keep it for a few more years even though it's getting old just because it's unstoppable. I even tow with it. I would drive it cost to cost without even a second though. Try that with an 05 amarican anything.

[@zaffo757]

that timing belt is a 3 hour job. no big deal. the trans wears out because the bearings in the case walls that support the shafts wear out the aluminum case wall - then they start to spin. That is what the whining noise is. Must be babied or they are luck to see 150,000 miles. even then, $4,000 for a new trans and another 200,000 miles? that's cheap.

[@gliderp]

I beg to differ Scotty. That is NOT the biggest POS ever made. I had a '81 Buick century. Need I say more? That was my last ever GM.

[@dodge80915]

It's an automaticly shifting stick shift. It has real gears. Replace the trans filter and clean the externally mounted solenoid valve screens.

[@pkonolan]

The one thing I have noticed in the Honda 3.5 liter engines (two pilots in my case) is that the hydraulic belt tensioners wear out long before the belt does. Then it make a racket at idle, especially when cold. In fact, the first time it happened, I thought it was that power steering issue you mentioned and I replaced those O-rings as well. I have replaced about 6 Honda belts in that engine but, other than that, they are pretty solid.

[@johnlambert3273]

I had a late model 2004, my VIN said the transmission problems were fixed by then. I heard that there was a gear at the top of the transmission that was not being lubricated in the earlier tranny's, they installed a oil-squirter in to lubricate it. In my book, the engine was too complicated, and expensive to fix. They also had 5-valves per cylinder, imagine a valve job on that. Don't even get me started on belt-driven cams! They also rightfully have poor resale value. I sold mine before it broke down.

[@High12083]

Last month I got silver 2005 Honda Odyssey for free and the latest guy own it had it for 2 month because the transmission problem, well the owner before him probably put wrong transmission fluid in and it making problem, Now I own it and it shift fine and I figured the problem, the 2nd last owner probably put the wrong transmission fluid and probably never change the transmission filter.
