Scotty I have a 2005 Toyota Matrix it vibrates a shakes really bad when you put it in reverse or drive what could it be
Hondas do absolutely nothing for me
So boring
Odyssey does not sound like an appealing name for a car. Considering the fact that in the original Odyssey myth, Odysseus was the only one of 600 men who returned home after a 10 year journey that was supposed to take only one month.
Odyssey sounds like a vehicle that will leave you stranded and kill everyone else who rode with you
Customer: "Scotty can you make a video about my car?"
Scotty: "I'm sitting in the biggest piece of 💩"
I'd wear that as a badge of honor lol
ppl love it when scotty poopoos on their car. lol.
Customer: "If I knew that I wouldn't have called you"
Corny.
🤣🤣😅
Had a 2008 Honda Odyssey. Got it with 75k miles on it. When it was T-Boned and totaled in an accident, it had over 300k miles on it. Original engine and transmission. Always took care of it, changed the oil every 3k miles had the transmission serviced every year. Would still be going strong if it wasn't totaled out. Miss that van, best family car I've ever had!
Yes, indeed. I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey with 393,000 miles and it runs beautifully. This guy just has an ax to grind.
My sister bought one of these several years ago. It had 35,000 miles on it and was basically new. After about 10,000 miles of her owning it the transmission went out. My dad helped her replace the transmission. Shortly after the replacement it started slipping again. They got it fixed again. On the way home he wanted to ride with her to see how she was driving the van. He said that every time she would start from a dead stop she would literally floor the accelerator...lol he said that it's no wonder why she kept burning out the transmission.
As a female that loves to keep up with my vehicles, but is sick & tired of being taken advantage of by shady mechanics…I LOVE your videos! I always learn something new.
i am offering you an extended car warranty!
call now to not miss our pre spring prices
20% lower than average
Look for a locally owned family shop with old guy mechanics..that's been in business for at least 40 years.
They are only trying to have some sex...👀
Do it yourself then
I found a mechanic who has been in the business for 50 years. He has his own garage and his son also works with him. He is old school but can work on the new cars. He is honest and I can trust him. I am also a female; I know how you feel. Try to find a mechanic from neighbors or friends. I found him thru a neighborhood online site. He got many recommendations and highly recommended. Bet you can find one too.
I bought my Honda odyssey around 16 months ago. It's a 2008 and had 220,000 miles on it and it's been a great vehicle. I absolutely love it.
Any updates?
Still going strong.
Yeah I just bought my 2008 odyssey exl 3 years ago at 209000. It was a second owner car who had it since like 60000 miles. Did both timing belts and took good care of it. Were at 224000 and it runs and shifts great. Although even though I got a family I do like to feel that vtec if you know what I mean haha so well see how the tranny holds
My head hurts after watching these clips- so much knowledge gained. I’m 46 but if I could get Scotty as my teacher I’d go back to school to become a car mechanic.
Do it, especially Mercedes or Audi.
Lots of work.
Concentrate on computers.
doesn't just hurt by the amount of knowledge, but the SPEED too in which it is delivered
@@FlatlandMando FLATLANDMANDO DOES SPEED!!!
We bought our '06 Odyssey brand new and it now has 280,000 miles on it. Other than an issue with a sliding door when it was a couple years old, it has been basically perfect, despite my wife thinking she's Mario Andretti. It's on its third timing belt, and the transmission fluid has been changed twice, but we're not particularly religious about maintenance. It doesn't run quite as smoothly as when it was brand new, but it's still a lot nicer to drive than the '14 Dodge Caravan I use at work.
That's a miracle because it should have been changed at LEAST 6 times with that many miles
I had an Odyssey that also had transmission problems, until the engine warmed-up; afterward, it drove fine. It was only a few years old. So I traded it back to the dealer who sold it to me, but I made sure the engine was warmed-up, before he took it for a test drive. 😆
Scamming a dealer.
good man!🤙🏄♂️
Typical dealer.
Dealers are not stupid. They know the real problem. Probably a few thousands loses when traded.
Our 17 Odyssey did a similar thing at 50k miles. It was the opposite. It was fine until it was warm. It accelerated choppy and shuddered. We took it to the dealership with a TSB we found for the issue. The issue was that the transmission fluid in Honda 6 speed automatics would degrade too quick. So they flushed the fluid 3 times. Issue went away. Now our power train warranty is extended to 120k. Instead of a 100k mile interval, you have to change the fluid every 30k.
@@fakejeepman06 I have a 2016 Odyssey with only 38k, It started jerking a little when going 20-30 mph so I decided to drain and fill the transmission fluid and problem fixed.
Had a 2007 Odyssey. Traded it in with 226,000 miles on it. It ran just fine. The only thing I ever had to replace was the starter, an o ring on the power steering pump and the a/c relay.(that is besides regular maintenance items). So less than $400 in repairs
What were the "Regular Maintenance Items"?
Your experience is similar to mine with our Odyssey, and more typical that the picture Scotty paints. It was an Awesome van to raise two children in.
The years for the really bad trannys were the 2nd gen 1999-2003. The first gen (95-97 Accord based) Odysseys were great vehicles and after 2004 they began to improve again.
@@durktyndall1571 What year was your Odyssey? The 2nd generation ones sucked (1999-2003) but the 3rd (2004-2009) and 4th (2010-2017) were a lot better.
I just sat through the biggest piece of cap ever. Coming from someone who’s owned a 2006 since 2009, I can truly say that, in spite of its flaws, it’s the best all-around vehicle I’ve ever owned ❤. Years ago, I rented a fully loaded 2020 Toyota Sienna, for a week, and was amazed at how much rougher its engine ran than my15+ years old Odyssey.
Recently had to choose between getting rid of the van, or replacing the transmission. This was during the peak of people charging new car prices for used cars, and dealers wanting me to take out a second mortgage for a new car. I decided to replace the transmission with a used low mileage unit from Japan. Along with the labor, it cost me $3K. Since the transplant, we made a round-trip excursion from Florida to Pennsylvania without a problem. We’re pushing 210k miles on ours.
Don't forget to replace the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump and idler pulley
280k on my ‘05 goin strong
My old 08 Odyssey has been the best car I've ever owned. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
5:10 "This isn't a race car". When I was researching our 2006 Odyssey (still have it, runs great) I saw a review of it where they compared it on the track to a classic Porsche and a jag from the 1960's. The van was comparable and beat them in several of the tests (like the slalom, braking, etc.) Just shows what 40 years of technology can do.
Scotty, my wife and I drove our 2012 Honda Odyssey Elite for 305k + miles. The first tranny gave out around 175k and we had our local shop put a reman tranny in to replace it. by the time we traded it in, the cam was ticking and we never found out what it was. Still got $1500 on trade! Bought a 2019 Pilot. Traded that on a 2022 Black Edition after driving 40k, got $2000 more for trade than we bought it for in 2021. Love that Honda 3.5 V6.
Did the 2012 have the 5 speed or the 6 speed?
Have a 03 pilot with the same engine/transmission setup. Currently im at 788,344 miles! Keep up with the maintenance and these Hondas will run forever!
2000 Honda Odyssey with 393, 000 miles on it. Runs great!!

A good example of how proper maintenance can prevent a vehicle with a bad reputation from becoming a piece of crap. When a good vehicle is abused or neglected it can turn to trash. Keep up with the maintenance and keep your vehicle running good for a very long time. Thanks for the remainder Scotty!
I have a 2011 Odyssey, driven and taken care of like this one. 125k miles. Runs like a dream. My 3rd Odyssey.
My mom has a 2010 Honda Oddesey and has had it since 2012. It hasn't had any problems and has treated us well. It still looks and drives basically how it did when my parents bought it
I think the key here is frequent fluid changes.....We've had a few of these vans. Our 2009 needed a piston ring upgrade to address the VCM based oil burning. I made it a point to change when the maintenance minder had 50 percent oil life left. We have a 2017 with 71,000 miles on it and so far so good...no oil burning issues.
Despite its rep, I had an '04. Kept up with maint and generally good upkeep, it gave up the ghost at 268,000 miles. It treated me well and my kids.
What happened? Was it the transmission?
@@dominozondatrans
The newer, revised Honda Odyssey's from 2014 to 2017 are one of my favourite minivans.
they are garbage just like scotty says
My 2014 is awesome
@@jasonwilliams6005 Thanks
I had a 2006 that my supervisor owned since new and he sold to me with 116k. I sold it at 160k and bought a 2014 with 83k on it.
I love the Honda Odyssey.
@@AJP2565 Thanks
Imagine being the owner of the car and Scott is calling your car 'biggest crap ever'
In MY opinion I think the biggest crap car ever produced is the Dodge Omni all years all versions including 024s, technically I owned about six of them(yeah young, dumb, and loved working on cars).
Lol
I would say pay no attention. Reading through the posts here, the majority who took care of theirs loved them and had them a long time.
2007 Odyssey - just passed 251K miles; original owner, original engine and transmission, would hop in our van and drive it across the country without hesitation. Many long summer family trips with the six of us plus luggage and towing a 15' fishing boat. Self serviced regularly and timing belts changed according to schedule.
Facts about the power steering pump though - on our 4th one and changed the reservoir filter in case that was the issue but no go. Problem is intermittent hard to turn at low engine speed.
Absolutely love those generation Odysseys...had 2 of them (2005's) and never had a transmission issue ever...just babied mines and never best on em
Sure handled a lot better than my float-boat, whallow steering 2011 "lightning".
Always great to watch your shows. Thank you.
My neighbor had an early Odyssey and he had the trans issues. A repair shop told him if he just drove it around town or local slow speeds it might be ok for awhile. But it would throw fluid out when they took it on the highway. He traded it off
my 05 would do the same thing
Had an ‘04 Odyssey for about 10 years and 200k miles, bought it new. Right away I installed an aftermarket trans cooler. Pulled trailers that were well over the rated towing capacity (installed heavy lift springs and airbag suspension inside the coils at Desert Rat off-road center in Phoenix). It towed trailers from AZ to IN no issues ever. Was a beast of a van and ran great until we traded it in. I don’t think it had the newer VTEC engine, but I could be wrong. We loved it!
Still got a 96 one! Runs fine!
Good information Scotty. Thanks!
Just found your channel yesterday when I decided to Google “I hate Honda Odyssey” lol
I needed to be validated. LOL!
THANK YOU!!!
I’m staying because you’re very knowledgeable and a joy to watch talk. Thanks for making me smile in spite of my negativity. 😊
Try adding the RVS treatment to the engine and gearbox. It builds a coating on all friction surfaces and restores tolerances. I've used it in all of my cars and it has fixed two of my E-class Mercedes whining power steering pumps for example.
Who else loves it when Scotty geeks out with his fancy scan tool?
Me!!
Bought my 2007 with 160k. Original owner said he only had to repair A/C and power steering. I've put 40k miles on it and have had to replace the strut assemblies, crank pully, sliding door guide hinge and neutral safety switch. Easy repairs for a shade tree mechanic. Been happy with the van.
I think most people would be happy to get 230,000 miles on any vehicle without major tranny or engine problems. When I was younger most people would be happy to get 100,000 trouble-free miles. After 100K, most vehicles would start falling apart. As much as I don't like a lot of modern vehicles, you have to put things into perspective sometimes. They're still much more reliable than they were 30-40 years ago.
I see alot of them rolling around in Central Wisconsin still even older units.😁
Scotty, I am second owner of a 2003 Honda Odyssey. I listened to you on your take of this van after I bought it. First of all, the rear seat was removed due to it sitting in a flooded trunk. The hatch leaks so I sealed all joint welds around the door. Still leak. So I had my son drill some holes in the floor to drain the water. Not useable. The engine has a miss in it and not sure what is going on there. Drives well, still gets great gas mileage, I wish I could bring it to you. Maybe then I could get to the bottom of the problem.
Love your videos Scotty!
Seems like a pretty good vehicle. Can't be described as a big piece of crap. 280k miles and runs really nice.
Hi Scotty enjoy your page thank you!
Scotty: I'm sitting in the biggest piece of crap ever made. Also scotty: all these years I gotta say it impressed me.
😆
Have an 02. Runs like a top A checker didn’t get the trans dip stick seated correctly It blew it out on the byway. Yard trans. Put in. Runs like a top agin. 230 plus 25 to the gal. No oil use Very happy about the camping van
i think the oddys are great-overall. Haven't seen the probs Scotty talks about. Alot of sliding door probs though.
Common failure point. The rollers disintegrate after a while and make horrible scraping noises!
My 2002 has 284,000 miles and still runs. I bought it with 73,000 miles from a friend. I don't baby it either. Motor mounts are shot (again) and body is rotted but still drives. At 230,000 the transmission started throwing codes. I changed fluid (drain and fill 3 times as instructed in manual) for the 2nd time I've owned it, changed the external filter for the first time (I didn't know it had one the first time), added a quality transmission cooler (recommended by a Honda mechanic I met in a parts store), and prayed. I worried changing fluid would make it slip worse and set code again. Running great now! I adjusted the valves the 2nd time I changed timing belt. First time I used OEM Honda parts and water pump as precaution. 2nd time I used Dayco kit with pump, rollers and tensioner. 2 weeks later engine sounds like a diesel, valves were tapping pistons, hydraulic tensioner from Dayco kit had failed (made of Chinesium). I put the old tensioner back in and it has been fine ever since! I change oil every 4000 miles (let it go to 8000 a couple times), used to use recommended 5w-20 or 30, whatever it calls for, but after 200,000 miles I just used 10w30 as I keep it for my old cars and figured tolerances were loose enough by now and the thin oils are for EPA, not longevity though modern engines with hydraulic tensioners etc probably should be given recommended oil but I thought it may protect the cams, who knows...Not sure the engine has the power it had years ago, it used to be able to chirp the tires at upshift under heavy throttle but it still has ok power. I don't baby it nor did my teen kids when they used to drive it. I haul tools, lumber and drywall in it. Has coilover overload shocks in the back.
Scotty: "Now I'm not gonna do a drag race, cause this cars been babied, will just floor it"
🙌🏼 been following Scotty around October 22, 2020
Just subscribed…. Great channel Great videos a lot of useful information, 👌
Subscribed a couple weeks ago, Jan 2023, learned a lot, looking to buy used older model CR-V or RAV4, thanks SK😊
I wish they would make something like this for the human body that you can just plug a machine into it and figure out what's going on with all your parts LOL
You can get a full body scan
I wonder where you would plug in?
My 2005 Odyssey has been very reliable and is still going strong. No engine or transmission problems. I do change the oil every 5000 miles and I use synthetic oil. The middle seats are removable and the rear seats fold down so I can carry sheets of plywood when I need to. I can also set up a sleeping cot in the van when I want to go car camping. I think it's one of the most perfect vehicles ever made.
I hear you, he was raggin' on the 3.3 dodge caravan v6 calling it a piece and it has one of the best reputations and most R&D of any vehicle. Oh well. We will have out awesome vans
Scotty I just want to say I love you ❤man! You are so awesome and a lot of people including myself love your knowledge that you share with us. Giving you your flowers 💐 while you’re still alive! Also I have a 2019 Honda Civic sport with a 2.0 liter engine what are your thoughts on the car?
He's so happy sitting inside worst car ever made. 😂😂😂
Scotty, love the video. Was curious if you have any suggestions regarding the "juddering" issue with some Odysseys. I have a 2016.
Excellent content
I have an 05 Odyssey still running smooth with over 245K highway miles, all loaded with navigation/RES system. Oil changes and recommended maintenance is all that is done. Original engine/Transmission, I have changed Transmission oil every 25K miles and changed the little cylindrical transmission filter as well. No major issues so far, with current prices of new cars I may just keep the car I know.
Hey Scotty I love my Honda Odyssey thanks for recommending it
this van is great, I have 2014 and hope it can do the same as this reviewed 2005
Shut off the VCM and it will last you a very long time.
Good seeing you. another great video.
Also love the content man thanks for the help with everything
The transmissions that were bad in Odyssey's were the first 2 gens. They have been bulletproof since.
I bought my 2005 after it came off of a 3 year lease and had about 30,000 miles on it. I'm still driving it in 2024, have 170,000 miles on it and it's running strong. Best car I've ever owned.
Lots of interesting engine tips.🥇
Great video
Still driving our 2003 Odyssey.. creaky doors and duct tape on the front quarter panel but still so comfortable with those fuzzy velour seats…
Scotty never stops at the stop signs instead he cuts the video to create the illusion.
Every rich kid in 2005 was dropped off at junior high in either a Suburban or a new Odyssey.
Not a Range Rover?
Very informative 🤔
The timing chain in one of my 73 6cyl Valiants used to go 'ting ting ting' while idling, (stretched from abuse). 😁
Scotty: 'I'm sitting in the biggest piece of crap ever made!' : )
Me: (checks personal ride in my driveway) - 'ahh, no Scotty, you are not.' : l
I rebuilt lots of five speed Odyssey transmissions back in the day third speed was a common failure
My 2002 odyssey with 226,000 miles still original engine and trany. Engine has a clunky noise at low rpm. Probably that cam problem but it’s been doing that same noise for 60,000 miles. Leaks a little rear main. But runs great. Trany starts bang shifting right at take off. Change 4 quarts DW-1 honda fluid and trany works good again. Change every 25,000 miles. Radio volume knob has to be turned many rounds to change volume. Suspension clunks a little. But it runs great. Handles great. I will keep it going if I can. New prices are insane.
My grandpa was a mechanic who worked on cars and WWII airplanes. He always said that British cars were the hardest to work on. He was a Chrysler/Dodge/GM guy and ended up with a 1988 Hyundai Pony before he passed away because a cousin talked him into it. I don't think he was happy with it. Personally, I like German cars, the Genesis G90, the Chrysler 300 and the Jag (even though I should know better). My first car was a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker and I'm still furious as a guy with a bad back that cars are so uncomfortable now. Luxury cars are just sports cars with leather seats. I don't care whether I can take a corner at high speed if I need to visit the chiropractor and take a pain pill. None of the new cars, even the "luxury" cars impress me. It's so frustrating. If anything, the Genesis actually looks closest to an old school, comfortable luxury car. It doesn't have my New Yorker's velour seats, which I miss badly, but they're not bad. Hondas never really impressed me. My second car was a 1990 Acura Integra and it literally felt like I was riding around in a box. The quality was not very good at all. For a while, I considered a Lexus, but they still look "sporty."
The Lexus LS430 is regarded as extremely comfortable.
Check one out.
Yeah it may be cold but if he has one of those big battery backup packs he could plug in a little heater or something
My 2014 is unstoppable. 217k and running strong. Never more than routine maintenance.
Damn. My 05 has 194k miles
Dashboard shifter?! Have not seen one of those since my 1964 Dodge A100 pickup truck.
Good evening Scotty! Love your videos!
Guess I'm the exception....
+300k miles on an 2006 Odyssey...no engine or trany problems. Wife drove the car hard carting three kids to school, activities, and vacations all over the south east US.
Can you make a video on on the 2021 and newer Tahoes please
EGR valves too....
Thoughts on current Hondas coming out of the Alabama factory? I ask since this is a 2005 and the plant opened in 2001, so hopefully whatever initial kinks that needed to be worked out with their manufacturing may have been addressed.
I’m wondering the same thing. Like how is the 10 speed holding up and so on. Did Honda fix those issues?
Our 19’ is wonderful! I’d check that trans fluid level could be the pump whining as low fluid. Or is it RF whine in the speakers?
A little thing about timming belts. Chains would stretch. Belts do not. If a belt has a problem it just fails. At 230k that belt should have benn replaced TWICE. If and when the belt fails the engine self destructs.
The one thing I have noticed in the Honda 3.5 liter engines (two pilots in my case) is that the hydraulic belt tensioners wear out long before the belt does. Then it make a racket at idle, especially when cold. In fact, the first time it happened, I thought it was that power steering issue you mentioned and I replaced those O-rings as well. I have replaced about 6 Honda belts in that engine but, other than that, they are pretty solid.
Honda Odyssey is the best van ever made. My first had 288k before trade and current has 171k. Zero issues with both
Don't rev up your engine!
Yep I hear gear whine too!
Honda ATF-DW1 is a low grade automatic transmission fluid. Because of that, Hondas respond very well to a high-quality full-synthetic automatic transmission fluid. I'm not going to push a specific 3rd party brand in this comment. I'm just saying, many Odyssey owners have implemented workarounds to overcome the Odyssey's short-comings. The 3rd Gen Odyssey's have a external user serviceable transmission filter that can be changed. My 2nd Gen 2001 Odyssey does not so, I installed a Raybestos Inline Magnetic Transmission Filter.
at 2:23....."I guess you could put a baby up there"....Brilliant
i put a k24a in mine with 25psi of boost and opened the exhaust flow right up (common issue for vtec engine failure is small exhaust),
700hp daily driver no issues
I had a late model 2004, my VIN said the transmission problems were fixed by then. I heard that there was a gear at the top of the transmission that was not being lubricated in the earlier tranny's, they installed a oil-squirter in to lubricate it. In my book, the engine was too complicated, and expensive to fix. They also had 5-valves per cylinder, imagine a valve job on that. Don't even get me started on belt-driven cams! They also rightfully have poor resale value. I sold mine before it broke down.
my 2007 Camry V6 started yesterday morn at minus 25 Celsius. brr. brr. think I will keep it.
The Ozark's quotes the Honda Odyssey as one of the best-selling minivans, probably incorrect wording but I remember it lol
I own a 2001 Odyssey with 123,000 miles. I change the oil *and* transmission fluid once a year. I've never had any motor or transmission problems. I've always used Honda brand trans fluid, which is critical to their longevity. The people who are having problems for the most part are people who aren't treating them well. I drive it pretty normally, only flooring it when I absolutely have to to avoid traffic. I've changed the front brake pads twice. Changed the plugs once. Changed the timing belt once. Really the only annoyance I've had is that the passenger window won't roll up from the driver's side, and the rear vent windows were getting hard to close with the power window switch so I eventually just closed them and never opened them again. All in all it's a great van.
Both my rear window motors are dead. I was going to fix them, but since I camp in it and want to open and close them without having to get in the front and turn the ignition on, I just removed the motors and put window latches on them.
Another great episode
Hey Scotty I have a question I'm looking at this 07 Honda Odyssey. With 208.400 miles on it looking to make it my mobile detailing van. Motor and transmission run good and I can get it for 2000 dollars. It's big enough to put my water tank and all of my other stuff.
As to this I can agree I know someone who owned an Odyssey and the transmission failed at 30k miles.
My 2002 Odyssey transmission failed at 81000 miles. I know several people who had transmission failures between 50,000 and 80, 000 miles.
Scotty I don’t get it why did you say it was a piece of crap? I have a Honda pilot 2014 just won’t quit. I change your oil every 5000 miles like you say. Tranny fluid every 30 Rear diff every couple years. I love my Honda. With car prices like they are, if it breaks, I’ll fix it. Thanks
Please do more Odyssey repair videos. So many people own them.
I had a small Honda outboard once. It ran noticeably better when I ran Honda oil. Shockingly better.
218k on 2007 honda odyssey touring. disabled vcm at 115k miles with vcmtuner. original trans, cat, starter motor, plug wires, power steering pump. only major repair is rack and pinion and alternator. owned 12 years. best vehicle ever owned. lose around 1mpg with vcm disabled.
Never trusted them because of the transmission issues. However i think if you bought one wit it replaced and drove it like a sane person they could be reliable vehicles. Drive easy off the line, steady acceleration not stomps and give yourself some room in traffic, not always trying to stay on the car in front of you's bumper. My old F150 has 200k, shifts a little clunky sometimes around 40 but been that way for 50k and i don't even notice it now...I did use Lube Guard on it though.
We own one and it is definitely the best car we’ve ever owned.
Scotty I change my oil every 7 months because I only drive it bout 7,000 a year so that's 2 oil changes a year is that ok also I use fully synthetic oil.
