Buyer beware.

Buyer beware. We purchased a 2019 EX-L w/res/navigation with 20k miles on it. We specifically got it for the tv because of having kids. By 32k miles, the tv stopped working. Honda wanted a ton of money to fix the tv. We said forget it. Then, approx 50k miles, the AC went out in the summer. We did pay to have that fixed. Next, at 74k miles, the engine had to be replaced. We didn’t even put 55k miles on the vehicle in 2.5 years and the engine had to be replaced! After replacing the engine, we had complete emissions failure (not exactly sure what that means, but we had to have it towed). Even with the new engine under warranty, we had to pay to have that fixed. Now, right when the second engine finished it’s warranty, we’re having another emission’s failure. We paid too much for this van to be putting this much money into constantly repairing it! Done with Honda!

EF9 Transmission failures and camera failures price this

EF9 Transmission failures and camera failures price this out of anyone's comfortable range for maintenance. Buy extended warranties and pray you don't have any issues.

If your car dies you can not put this vehicle in neutral

If your car dies you can not put this vehicle in neutral to push it or to tow it!! This could put you in a very dangerous or like me cause a tow service to have to literally drag your vehicle out of your garage. The car was barely 5 years old and we had to spend $1000 replacing the computer system. We recently discovered a pool of water under the carpet in the back of the vehicle. Apparently this is a very common problem due to a faulty part Honda has put on this model. It cost us hundreds of dollars and after days of fans and a shop vac I still can't get all the water out. Do yourself a favor go with Toyota or a different year Oddsey, Honda really dropped the ball on this one!!

Buyer beware this model is a lemon!

Every car that I've ever owned has been a Honda. From Accords, civic and 2 Odysseys. The 2019 is by far the biggest lemon I've ever owned! The first week I had the car the AC went out. The AC does not work as well as it did in previous model Odyssey. The Blue Tooth and Apple car play is always glitchy and not reliable. The blue tooth was awesome in previous model. Now there seems to be an electrical issue and unsafe to drive. Having it towed! The indicator lights are flashing, the sliding doors not working, the locks continually lock while driving and not pushing button, the car is jerking forward and back. Every Honda I've ever owned has been reliable and needed minimal maintenance. This Odyssey is by far the worst Honda I've ever owned!!! Anytime people ask me about my van I warn them not to buy a 2019! It's only 3 years old - ridiculous! What happened to your brand and reliability Honda??!! Worst car/van ever!

Best service and price

I saw a 2019 Honda Odyssey in the website of doc Paramus Honda in NJ and I saw the vehicle Saturday and by Monday Marc García and Wael were able to work with me and my husband to take that vehicle home even BEFORE seeing it. They were able to not let us go without knowing everything we need to know to make a decision. We are very thankful for all your help. This vehicle is a big asset and has more than expected and you guys made it possible, thanks!

very happy with my Odessey

I needed to get a van in order to accommodate a lift for my mobility scooter. I have been very happy with this van in every way. It is comfortable, love the heated seats and the ride is very smooth. The only item I would change would to be to make the arm rest longer. That is honestly the only "complaint" I have! I've had this van since May of 2019. I made frequent 1,000 mile round trip drives to see my very elderly mother and never had a worry about the reliability of my vehicle. Very satisfied!

Best Car Purchase Ever

This is the best car that I ever purchased. It’s roomy enough for a family of 8 and we may be able to add one more. It is very reliable and I couldn’t be more happy, I wish Honda offered certain upgrades out of pocket like the media package.
