  3 Transmissions Later - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By usedcaralways - March 29 - 10:42 am

  The first year we owned our van was great. Starting with the first summer our luck ran out and every summer for 3 years wed have to replace the transmission. Honda helped us out once but after that we were on our own. During research my husband found out that the transmission used on this 2000 model had so many problems that Honda never used it again. Today we still own it but are hunting for another vehicle because our 3rd transmission has started to act up and before it dies we need to get out of this money pit of a car. we were a couple hundred from paying it off but instead are putting that money towards another vehicle. My husband swears well never own another Honda again.

  2000 Odyssey LX - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By ADubinLA - January 26 - 10:00 am

  We bought our Odyssey just after our first son was born. Its been fantastic. We decided on the LX because we were afraid of having power sliding doors with a toddler around the house. This hasnt been a big issue. Our favorite features are 1) roominess, 2) 3rd row folding seat and 3) good power. The biggest downside, fuel economy. We average <15 mpg around town. All in all, a great car. Id definitely buy another.

  Some Issues - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By Honda owner - October 25 - 3:28 pm

  Two big problems with the 2000 Odyssey. First, the transmission tends to break and has design issues. Second, the automatic sliding doors tend to break also. Both of them on my Odyssey have had issues, and are expensive to fix. Other than those, it is comfortable and handles well for a minivan.

  A Greek Tragedy: The Fatal Flaw - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By WashDad - April 25 - 4:51 pm

  The long-term history of this vehicle has been moments of love interspersed with tragic disappointment. Our first mistake was not realizing that buying a Canadian-registered Honda in the US would cut us off from all factory support. Honda USA wouldnt help us because the car was Canadian. Honda Canada wouldnt help us because it was purchased in the US. Recall work performed for free for my neighbors cost me money. This is especially galling since all 2000 Odysseys were built in a single factory in Ontario. I will never buy another Honda. Problems: short-lived brakes, doors, more doors, transmission at 78k, another tranny at 109k, squealing brakes, broken seat, radio, smog control.

  Great people mover - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By sommervr - March 13 - 9:48 am

  This vehicle has been the primary people mover for our family of six. It has towed our 2000 lb tent trailer all over North America. We probably run over the 3500 lb recommended towing capacity. We bought it used with 60 km and it currently has 180 km. In that time we have only done routine maintenance and replaced consumables (tire, brake pads). This vehicle has been run right at the limits of what is recommended and hasnt given us a spot of trouble.

  Buyer Beware - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By millerjep - January 13 - 6:25 am

  Three transmission failures in 7 years. Sliding doors can be very finicky. Latest is that we have to replace a sender unit for $300. Be very careful when buying used. Other than those major issues the van is great.

  Info for Those of You Buying Used! - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By van on van - November 4 - 10:49 am

  We bought this at 101K miles and drove it two years till 127K miles until I totaled it in an accident (nobody hurt safety is great!). Biggest beef: EGR system clogged twice in two years ($200-$300 cost to fix each time). Catalytic converter gave out at 100K (fix $800). Water pump needed replacement at 119K ($800). We also found road noise pronounced and tiring (we suffer enough noise from our small children). If youre prepared to pay for repairs and maintenance, buying used may be a good idea. I figure that total cost of this van to us, in two years of ownership, was $2500 per year, counting purchase price (no financing, 6% sales tax, repairs, and maintenance (not counting gas or insurance

  Very solid - no problems here - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By Brock Angelo - September 2 - 10:48 am

  I have owned a 91 Honda Civic, a 92 Honda Civic and now a 2000 Odyssey. I was skeptical about our electric doors - pretty solid except in the winter - they will be a bit sticky if you keep it outside. Otherwise, this has been very solid and we have had no repairs and no problems starting or running. Took a 5000 mile cross country trip right after we bought it. Did great without a single snag.

  Watch that transmission - 2000 Honda Odyssey
  By bags - August 26 - 10:00 am

  Have 47000 mi, original owner. No towing, only normal driving around Illinois (ie, no hills). Transmission started making slight grinding noise in 4th gear only at about 55mph. If in 3rd, no noise. If you let off gas, no noise. Dealer had it today and the carrier bearing in the transmission is going out and the whole transmission needs to be replaced. I have the extended warranty which will pay for it as well as a rental car. Listen carefully to yours when crusing around 55mph.
