| Answer to: Sienna or Odyssey | 31Relevance | 5 years ago | MinivanMom1990 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Toyota sienna is better in reliability AND practicality. Those Honda odysseys were (and still are) notorious for transmission problems the sienna has no issues. I have an '06 sienna XLE and it can haul 4x8 sheets of plywood or sheetrock with the 3rd row folded flat, and the 2nd row seats removed. A lot of folks LIVE in their 2nd gen ('04-'10) siennas full time and have made them into conversion vans, you can even get custom made rooftop pop up campers added onto the 2nd gens. The world is your oyster with siennas. They're SO customizable. Please, come join ... | |||||
| Answer to: Buying a previous generation Sienna vs new hybrid? | 30Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| With the amount of mileage you drive, I am 50/50 on hybrid or not. If you drove significantly less, I would say to just get the gas sienna. With that said, This is how I would go about the decision, when it comes time. I would research the current generation and previous generation Camry hybrid, and see how long the powertrain, specifically the hybrid battery goes before needing a replacement. The Camry hybrid powertrain uses the same technology as the sienna. I would also do the math on the naturally aspirated sienna versus hybrid sienna, with respect ... | |||||
| Repair Camshaft or Trade-In? | 29Relevance | 5 years ago | JustADad | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... were in need of an oil-pump housing repair) or trade it in for $7,500 (per KBB) and get a new car. In my mind, the cons of trading it in is spending 25k vs 9k...and that's for a 5 year old sienna close to 100k miles. But the cons of just repairing the odyssey is that apparently it's going to continue to give us troubles, and it has 146k miles on it. So my question is: Will repairing the camshaft/rebuilding the engine keep us out of the car shop for the next 5+ years? Or should we just go ahead and replace the odyssey with a newer sienna? | |||||

| Some years of the Honda odyssey should be avoided because of chronic (and expensive) transmission problems. I had a sienna for 200 k miles with absolutely nothing except fluid changes, plugs and brake pads - and one timing belt just in case. | |||||

| I purchased a 2018 odyssey new. I too was torn between an odyssey and sienna. The Toyota was a more stripped down vehicle when compared to the Honda but was considerably higher priced. 50k on it now and the only issue was a defective fuel injector. Dealership replaced all of them under warranty. Just received a letter today from Honda stating they are extending the warranty for fuel injectors for 10 years/150k miles. As for the transmission no issues unless you’re in eco mode. Seems to shift a little ruff on certain gears but does not do this in any other mo ... | |||||

| The odyssey would definitely be better than anything from Chrysler or Dodge. Honda doesn't make the odyssey transmission anymore it is now supplied by ZF. The sienna is still the benchmark however. | |||||

| '01 Odyssey with 360K vs '04 with 150K | 31Relevance | 2 years ago | bekahbekahbekah9111 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2001 Honda odyssey I'd like advice on whether or not to gamble trying to fix my '01 odyssey with 360,000 miles on it. I built it out into a camper van that I am living in, currently parked in a shed 🙁 . The check engine light would periodically come on over the years and so I put SeaFoam in it with almost every fill up, especially if I did not fill up at Chevron. The van has never overheated. I changed the oil every 3,000 miles. I changed the transmission fluid every 25,000 miles. Recently the check engine light came on and would not go off with SeaFoam, and I have emissions testing for registration which was due. The symptoms are that it would sometimes run rough or die right after I started it when it was warm during in-town errands. The oil dip stick doesn't look cloudy. The day that the light came on, was mid-trip going to Nor-Cal from Portland, OR. The engine sounded and performed as usual. Another issue is that I've been chasing some slow oil drips. Supposedly, there is a leak by the timing belt. Codes: P0505 - Idle Speed Control System P0420 - Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2) P0301 - Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected P0304 - Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected P0401 - EGR System Insufficient Flow Detected Firestone Complete Auto Care said it failed a block test and to replace the head gasket and catalytic converter. The Honda dealer said the funnel in the radiator bubbled constantly, indicating the head gasket needs replacing. They also said to replace the catalytic converter, the EGR valve plus port cleaning, and other possible repairs due to the throttle body P0505. I don't have any info to say whether it's a candidate for a sealant trial. Other details: A/C does not work Tires almost done Transmission was rebuilt around 150,000 Previous owner was a mechanic Fabric interior. Not fancy. Tailgate won't latch. Cleaning and lubricating it fixed it for only a day. Bad rear door actuator 2004 Honda odyssey Since I needed transportation, I bought an '04 odyssey with 150,000 on it. I've been driving it now for 4 weeks. I had an inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care, and everything passed except the wiper blades. To me, it sounds like there is an issue with the front-end, maybe steering, an inconsistent crunch/knock. I paid $2,000 for it. It had a horrible mold smell when I bought it. Other details: Little to no maintenance records Catalytic converter was stolen and replaced, and it sounds rattly, like a truck inside the van. No check engine light. 🙂 A/C works Leather interior Tailgate latches inconsistently Bad rear door actuator or lock Bad rear door middle roller Nearly new tires I fixed the mold smell by removing the moldy leather panels under the vent windows. My Question Do I scrap the '01 or start with servicing the EGR system and go from there? I've got a nice Crescent set, but I'm not too experienced. I've watched videos on the EGR valve replacement and port cleaning, which I might be able to do on my own. My known good mechanic is 2 hours away. The '04 seems too nice to do a radical alteration into a camper van. Plus, I'm concerned, not knowing how the transmission was cared for. I've been out of work for a while and having some health issues. Without a mold smell, I thought I might try to sell the '04, asking more than I paid for it. If I wasn't sentimentally attached to the '01, it seems like a no-brainer. Plus, I'm just curious how many miles it could go! 360,000! That's pretty awesome! Thanks for your comments and advice! -Bekah Tigard, OR | |||||

| ... activation (Honda calls it VCM) - which will wear out/damage the engine in the long run (you can disable via software but if you need warranty work if will void it, and also the hardware is still there). Also, depending on the year the odyssey comes with 9 or 10 speed AT, and long term reliability is not fully known. Meanwhile, an older sienna (Kerem lists the years to look at) has none of those issues and fewer gears in their AT so less complexity and presumably less issues. If you care about longevity, your best bet is the sienna. There’s no guarantees ... | |||||

| I would also agree with Kerem's statement. The Toyota sienna Hybrid is a new vehicle with a different powertrain. The Honda odysseys have the 10 speed transmission. So we don't know if it's better than the Honda odyssey's 5 and 6 speed transmission. My dad had a 2007 Honda odyssey and it has transmission problems. I'm assuming you're talking about the Ford Transit Connect and Mercedes Metris not the Sprinter or Transit. Stay away for those vehicles. My pick in the same class would be: 1. 2020 and older siennas 2. Honda odysseys 3. Toyota sienna Hybrid 4. ... | |||||

| Now for 6-8 years, the Hybrid sienna, V6 odyssey, and regular sienna should be fine if not some minor transmission issues on the odyssey the Sprinter would take a lot of money to repair (refer to @mountainmanjoe) and the Transit is meh in my opinion and OK/subpar in Scotty's opinion. | |||||

| odyssey is definitely improved over older models and 2014 is a good model year as they resolved tranny issues from before. Just make sure you take care of the engine yb changing the oil every 5000 miles and changing the tranny fluid every 30k miles. sienna is a good van too and a lot of people do prefer the sienna for its reliability and AWD but both vans are not bulletproof. Both vans are complex and as they get higher mileage like 200-300k miles expect electrical problems and I would not buy the new sienna hybrid since that is insanely complex with all tha ... | |||||

| 1. If structural parts of the unibody are rusting out on the sienna it is time to get rid of it. However, the odyssey has a history of weak transmissions according to Scotty. This is verified by sites that track car problems, such as: Another sienna would be a better choice. Whatever you buy be sure to have a good mechanic give it a thorough examination before purchase. 2.
