12/5/2023 0 Comments Used 2010 honda odysseyI should've seen that red flag and took my business elsewhere but they had the vehicle I wanted at the right price and they said they could get the loan done under my terms. The van has been totalled a lost and I have to get another vehicle.Located in West Babylon, NY / 44 miles away from Newark, NJĪfter finding a vehicle and getting in touch with a sales man I went about 4 days of texting and calling with no answer or call back. Thank god- Everyone in the van escape without life threating injuries. All curtain airbags deployed preventing impact and glass particle injuries. yesterday my wife got into a car accident, she was T-Boned (hit in the driver side) by another car (Mitsubisi Sedan) with the baby sitting in the baby seat on the driver side sliding door. How do I know? I purchased our Odyssey last year 2007 brand new with 15 miles on the odometer, already did a road trip to Orlando Florida and the car performed great as to performance, comfort, and funtions with the kids. With Honda's great vehicle test ratings and nine airbags in this Odyssey, the price you pay for this minivan is well worth it. Awesome car!! BUT the vehicle also needed to be SAFE. A comfortable ride for those longs road trips, DVD system to keep the kids entertained, decent gas mileage, front and rear heater/aircond controls, built-in sun shields for the kids windows, did I mention the sliding door windows rolls down like a regular door window, seats folds using one hand. With a family of two young boys under the age of 5, and with me being gone all the time, I needed a vehicle that would make life easier for my wife with easy access to the baby seats, electric sliding doors that can be actuated from a distance when her hands are full with the kids or when her hands are full and it's raining cats and dogs. Am looking to step up to a later model HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING model soon. I forget now how it was corrected, but it was a simple DIY fix once we discovered how. Would happen at random times for no obvious reason. Also, there were several occasions when it would crank but fail to start. Other than that, in the 8 years of driving have had no A/C repairs. He simply pushed the climate control buttons for each side to MAX and down to LOW several times, and that fixed it. The next season both vents were blowing HOT with the system OFF. He recycled/cleaned the freon (which I like to have done every couple of years anyway - $50) and added very little freon, and both sides blew COLD. ![]() I took it to my mechanic, who could find no freon leakage. On a couple of occasions, the A/C vents on the dash, one would blow HOT while the other would blow COLD. There have been a few irritating "quirks", tho. Not so much damage that it is very noticeable. The front bumper is so low that it hits parking space curbs - wheel stops, parking chocks, curb stops, That has happened all too many times and has scraped the underside of the front bumper and slightly dislocated it. Another problem has been the low front end clearance. ![]() Did, however, have to replace the rear liftgate struts. The ONLY mechanical problem has been having to replace the STARTER. It "recovers" quickly when you divert from the programmed route. The map graphics are very basic, but the screen divides and shows the map on the left and lists the next 4 turns on the right. The large screen is so much better than dash-mounted portables or cell phones. I love the fact that the leather front seats are 'butt high" - easy in and out. A couple of brothers in law in the used car business assured me that 100K miles on a car are not the deterrent that it used to be. Purchased 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING in 2011 with 102,000 miles on it.
