| '07 Honda Odyssey Looking to Upgrade | 24Relevance | 5 years ago | jeremythecamel | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty! I have a family of 6 that we cart around in a 2007 Honda odyssey with 206,000 miles. We're coming up on the time for a water pump/timing belt swap and the car is shuddering most times when I apply brakes. We are tempted to move on to a newer model, a 2021 Toyota sienna, for the MPG and current safety features etc. We put about 20k miles on our van a year. I know you say to hold on to cars, but I was just wanting your opinion on this new Toyota Hybrid family hauler and longevity of our oldish odyssey. Thanks! | |||||
| Should I trade in my 2016 Honda Odyssey for a sedan? | 24Relevance | 6 years ago | Antar24 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2002 Toyota sienna, a 2009 Honda Civic, and a 2016 Honda odyssey. I'm thinking about trading in my odyssey because I don't use it that much and I believe that I will have positive equity that I can use to buy a sedan. This sedan is for my son as he is going to have a job soon, so should I trade it in, and if so, which used Honda should I get? Thanks. | |||||
| How do I fix hard shifting Odyssey | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | jhamburger | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Thanks for taking the time to look at this. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): My paid-off 2019 Honda odyssey EX with 18,602 miles (29,938 km) is having transmission problems - really hard shifting, problems accelerating and decelerating, and clunking/knocking when shifting. Is this common? Have you heard anything about this? I'm living overseas at the moment for work - how would you go about addressing this? How big of a fight do I have ahead of me (how much antacid will I need to buy)? Back story So I have a 2019 Honda odyssey I bought new from a Honda dealer in Dulles, Virginia (AutoNation Honda); wasn't the greatest experience but different story for different day. The vehicle has 18,602 miles (29,938 km). A little under a year ago I started noticing "hiccups" with the transmission while driving. I thought it was just me, but after a while it became apparent that there was something happening with the vehicle. It would shift extremely hard, sometimes even knocking with a clunk. Also, it wouldn't accelerate or decelerate properly on occasion. I contacted Honda about some other related issues that were related to a recall and mentioned this to them. I also mentioned that I currently live overseas with my job and had the vehicle shipped to me. It was at that time I found out that warranties are no longer valid once the vehicle leaves the United States....didn't know that little tidbit. They said any repairs would be out of pocket but if the vehicle gets sent back to the United States the warranty would start back up but only with the remaining years on it had the vehicle not been shipped out of the United States. The issue only happens on occasion but its happened enough to finally get me angry. I did a quick Google search and found out that there has been an issue with the 2018/2019 transmission and the van going into park while driving. That isn't the issue I had. I did find, however, a lawsuit that a woman brought against Honda (Browning, et al., v. American Honda Motor Company., Inc, et al.) for the same exact issues my Honda is having ( ). Like I said, I'm currently living overseas on a contract for work so bringing it to the Honda dealership I purchased it from won't happen. There is a Honda dealership out here, however, with it being out of warranty I'd rather not have to drop $2,000 for a new transmission. From my research, it seems that's Honda's fix - putting in a new crappy transmission to replace the current crappy transmission (excuse my language). I've also read of instances where even with the new transmissions, the engine still blew around 25,000 miles. I plan on contacting the Honda dealership where I purchased it from, but I'm not really expecting much. My wife and I were going over a few scenarios: selling it locally to someone after telling them about the transmission issue so we have full disclosure, parking it and waiting until Honda issues a full recall (good luck), or dumping money into it for inspections, replacements, all that stuff. What do you recommend sir and how much of a ruckus should I be raising because to say that I'm upset a brand new, paid off Honda is giving me mechanical problems is to put it mildly. Thanks for your help. | |||||
| Knock in 2018 Odyssey EX-L Navi 3.5L V6 Engine | 25Relevance | 6 years ago | gsba | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| In May of 2019, I purchased a used 2018 odyssey EX-L Navi with approximately 30,000kms (18,000 miles). It has the 3.5L V6 engine which has been around for a long time. The engine has a knock in the lower end. I didn't notice the knock until after taking delivery of the vehicle. It happens at about 900 to 1500rpm, under light acceleration after the engine has reached operating temperature and is most noticeable when going up a slight incline. It can be reproduced by holding the brake (or parking brake) and pressing lightly on the accelerator. I immediately made an appointment with the Honda dealer. Long story short, they confirmed there was a knock in the lower end of the engine and were willing to fix it, however Honda Canada told them not to do anything to the engine. The (Honda Canada) claimed there was a "fix" coming soon. That was on June 6 2019 and when I last checked with the Honda dealer service department, there is still no fix. I took the van to another Honda dealer and the Service Department there tried to tell me the noise was the direct fuel injection. I questioned them on the diagnosis and eventually the Honda mechanic said "I don't know what's causing it, but it's normal and they all do it". There is a very lengthy thread on an odyssey forum regarding the knock and the dead end that a lot of odyssey owners had come to when trying to get it fixed. If you are interested, their is a link to a recording of the knock in Post #578. For whatever reason, Honda (U.S. and Canada) appears to be dragging their feet on providing a fix for this very annoying problem which has to be damaging our engines. Have you heard of this problem? Do you have any suggestions what we might do? Thanks, gsba | |||||

| RE: Mazda MPV opinions | 23Relevance | 6 years ago | billybob | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| No, the Dodge Caravan was the worst for Transmissions, and pretty much everything else really. The odyssey was definitely know to have transmission issues and the MPV did too. Having said that, if you can't afford a sienna and need a good second choice an odyssey or MPV would probably be your best bet. Having said that the sienna is the best by a huge margii which is why they are so expensive. | |||||

| ... to go with a sienna (not the new hybrid model) but in your case, absolutely no need to sell your odyssey if it's in good condition. Just change the ATF every 25k-30k miles and do the timing belt service every 7 years/105k miles. Google search VCMuzzler and look into disabling VCM. | |||||

| Honda quickly dropped the 9 speed, they realized their mistake. Now only in house honda 10-speed. So far the 5th gens are doing ok with some electronic issues like infotainment system going bad. Also, the new j series commonly have injector failure at early mileage. Both sienna and odyssey are good. The new sienna, too early to tell with the hybrid powertrain. | |||||

| Hello, Mr. Scotty Kilmer and Friends I know y'all didn't like Honda odyssey, especially the one that Made In Lincoln, Alabama, U.S. 'cause they having weak Automatic Transmission, as well as weak Cam on their V6 Engine that tend to wobble back and forth as they aged But my Uncle's Made In Sayama, Saitama, Japan 2008 Honda odyssey (K24A8 2.4L DOHC i-VTEC I4 NA) with 250k Miles/402k Kilometers is still Run Extremely Very Strong with Original Engine and Automatic Transmission when he bought it Brand-new in 2008, although he had to change Transmission Fluid and Filter every 20k miles/32k kilometers by using Drain and Fill method, as well as change the Engine Oil and Filter every 5k miles/8k kilometers There's any thoughts on those Particular odyssey to make it Last 500k miles/800k kilometers or more before something bad happens to either Engine or Transmission?

| Answer to: My sister oh boy | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | kesterpaul62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... blow up. I would avoid the Toyota sienna in terms of the early ones having oil sludge problems and newer ones from 2016-2020 have the 8-speed transmission which (at those models) were not the best transmission options. The new 2021 and 2022 ones have a new design and powertrain and the verdict on that is unknown. If you need a minivan in a pinch- try the Chrysler Pacifica. I test drove that vehicle and the 3.6 Pentastar engine can last well some time and ZF 9 speed transmission has improved. | |||||
| Answer to: Honda or Toyota Which is the Best MiniVan | 23Relevance | 6 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Since you plan to keep for 20+ years you only have one choice: the Toyota sienna, but as Kerem said get the 2016 or earlier model years that don’t have the 8-speed automatic transmission. Also, that Honda odyssey you mentioned has the 3.5L V6 engine which has cylinder deactivation (or what Honda calls VCM) and over time can potentially wear out/damage your engine. Plus the engine is direct injection only and therefore susceptible to carbon buildup on the back of the intake valves over time - more maintenance and cost you don’t need. Additionally, it has ... | |||||
