I have seen so many horror stories now about that Odyssey transmissions
that I am just about to the point where I cannot get the van.
Everywhere I look there are more stories about bad transmissions on the
Honda Odyssey. Everyone complains, warns, and says how Honda knows
about them. Your messages help confirm that. I am now considering the
2004 Toyota Sienna. I cannot find any transmission posts, anywhere,
about it being bad. I am probably overlooking them. For example, on
Edmunds, I found tons of bad tranny posts on the Ody, and in many
years, but I could find none on the Sienna. The Sienna had a common
problem with the AC and seat belts, but that was about it. I really
wanted the Odyssey as I have an 96 Accord with 157k miles on it. From
what I have read the "legendary quality" does not extend to the
Odyssey. I see no reason to take a $17000 chance. Thanks for your
help.
