On 10/16/2004, 6.48 years ago (2365 days), we picked up our 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L with Navigation and DVD and 16 miles on the Odo (First year model). That comes to 30864 Miles/Year (84.56 Miles/Day). And it's still running strong and smooth!It regularly tows our 18.5' Open Bow Ski Boat during the summer both close by and down to Pueblo Reservoir, although I'm looking for a Pilot or MDX for this year since she's getting up in mileage.
It's been an INCREDIBLY reliable car having just $700 in repairs ($500 for A/C Clutch @ 170K and $200 for Battery Cables @195K). Only problem now is a driver's side slidiing door that won't unlock and therefore, won't open. It's been that way for about 20K miles. Here's hoping she can go for another 100K and more!
ran through check engine lights...random codes...needing to be jump-started...One thing about the battery cables. I couldn't tighten them onto the post enough and they would loosen up. This was causing all sorts of strange problems. Slow crank, then no crank and couldn't jump start (not so strange). Turn the ignition completely off and then it usually started again. I thought the started solenoid was going bad.
But then, we had intermittent check engine light, then finally the VSA light start flashing and the engine would cut power. Once the engine was stopped and re-started, it was fine for another couple miles. When we took it to the dealer, I asked if it could be related to the cables and he said it might be. He checked the codes and VOILA! "Low Voltage" Changed the cables and it's been perfect ever since.
Wow...Your Ody's just a BABY!2006 Honda Odyssey Touring R + N - approx 85K miles as of 5-JAN-2011
