TrueDelta Reviews the Reliability And Durability of the Honda Odyssey

Honda Odyssey Reliability And Durability: Pros
YearComment
2014 Both the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna have been reliable recently, aside from the 2011 models (the first year of the current design in both cases). As minivans age, the power sliding doors tend to be a common problem area. A few years ago, 1999-2003 Odysseys suffered from unusually common transmission failures, but the four-speed automatic transmission in question is no longer offered. Instead, for 2014 a six-speed automatic is standard on all trim levels. full 2014 Honda Odyssey review

2013 4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD
6-speed automatic FWD
Aside from the brakes, it's not too bad. Our shocks started leaking at 130,xxx miles. The passenger sliding door would jam at times but after our tech lubricated the sliders, everything appears to be fine now. The hydraulic belt tensioner started to fail prematurely, they're suppose to last 120k, our started making noises and was replaced at 80k. full 2013 Honda Odyssey review

I cannot compain enough about the brakes. The brakes on our 2013 Odyssey Touring is the absolute worse part about this otherwise terrific van. Brake job (machine rotors or replace rotors) every 7,500 miles is rediculous and expensive! full 2013 Honda Odyssey review
