Get ready to spend alot of time in the Honda service waiting area. Your first transmission should last about 8k miles. Honda will say they are sorry about that, hold your van for about three weeks while they ship the parts from Japan. You will get it back all full of grease on the interior. That should last you for another 10k or so miles when the rotors will warp an vibrate the hell out of everything. Your dvd player will skip over any expansion joint in the road. Your sliding door will malfunction to a point where one day you are opening it up and it will come right off of the track onto you child foot. Unfortunately the monkey behind the counter at the Honda dealership will say is this "they all do that" So good luck with your purchase. I'll save you a chair if you get there early enough. It fills up fast these days at my local Honda dealership.

I've owned four Honda Odysseys and never had a serious problem with any of them. Other than the PAX tires, I have no complaints.

You must trade them after 5k miles. That's when all of the problems start

35,000 miles on a Honda? That equals at least three tranmission rebuilds

We get it, you don't like Honda, but know that everyone hasn't had the same trouble you have.
Do we really have to hear this ALL THE TIME, or do I just need to take this board off my watch list, because it's getting out of hand in here.

Shows that EVERY brand had built a lemon. 
My 2006 Sienna LE has 26,424 miles and does NOT appear to be a lemon but I still do NOT like it as well as my former 2002 Chrysler T&C LX. With Toyota, you pay more but get less.

Yes. All the time. I want everyone to know what they are getting themselves into when they buy a Honda. JUNK
