I need help in deciding : - I am getting Ody EX 08 for 399(tax incl) for 36m/15k miles/ zero down (no even 1st month payment)...Is it good? I am debating whether I should spend that kind of money or go for TC /Dodge caravan 08 models for a 27 month lease. What is the competitive rate for leasing those minivans? I have not driven them but their reliability seems to be an issue; we drive 70 miles a day and we live in NE ohio where winters are sometimes little bit harsh. We dont have much leeway at work and hence reliability and maint... Thanks! |

To anyone thinking of buying Odyssey! Check out the Odyssey Transmission Issue Forum first. All Odyssey models from 99, 2000,2001,2003,2004,2005,2006, 20007 have faulty transmissions. 2008 - 100% chance check the facts! Dont make the same mistake....

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 11, 2008 7:08 am) not only odysseys... This is a fact. 1,099,976 Odyssey 2002 are on transmission recall. See NHSTA report: Make / Models : Model/Build Years: ACURA / 3.2CL 2001-2003 ACURA / 3.2TL 2000-2004 ACURA / MDX 2001-2002 HONDA / ACCORD 2003-2004 HONDA / ODYSSEY 2002-2004 HONDA / PILOT 2003-2004 Recall Number: 04V176000 Summary: ON SOME MINI VANS, SPORT UTILITY AND PASSENGER VEHICLES, CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS CAN RESULT IN HEAT BUILD-UP BETWEEN THE COUNTERSHAFT AND SECONDARY SHAFT SECOND GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO GEAR TOOTH CHIPPING OR GEAR BREAKAGE.

Replying to: honda_oh_no (Jan 11, 2008 7:38 am) Read your own post, "ON SOME MINI VANS". SOME is not equal to 100%. Also, that covers up to 2004, but you said it was 100% all the way up to 2008, which is incorrect. Your post is false, plain and simple. Even though this is old news, you could provide useful information to some folks if you were accurate. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 11, 2008 8:08 am) The sad thing is the way they are rectifying the problem. I worked in a Japanese company for 11 years and this is simply unacceptable. We solved problems in a pro-active manner not reactively.

Replying to: honda_oh_no (Jan 11, 2008 8:54 am) Your post was sensationalist and, more importantly, factually inaccurate. Why do you say 100% of the 2008 transmissions are bad, then acknowledge only models up to 2006 were affected?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 11, 2008 8:58 am) Everyone is free to choose which car to buy. Just do some research before buying. There are lots of car reviews like msnauto, yahooauto and once you see a common problem then run- not walk away from that model !....a little too late for a lot of eager buyers... |

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 11, 2008 8:58 am) But having good experience with my other hondas made me shrug of the issue and blindedly went ahead. I don't believe in Honda Quality anymore. |
