2007 Honda Odyssey Review: A Year To Avoid With More Complaints Than Newer Models

May 5, 2022

The 2007 Odyssey lasts around 200,000 miles with widespread steering and engine problems. At $5,228 – 6,662, it’s expensive for one of the least reliable years.

The Good

The passenger room is fantastic, it’s quick for a minivan and it’s safer than rivals.

The Bad

The infotainment system is difficult to use, there’s a lot of plastic trim inside and the second row doesn’t fold flat and has to be removed.

Is the 2007 Honda Odyssey a Good Used Van?

No, 2007 is a bad year. Owner reviews complain about road-noise, breakdowns, and electric door problems.
Reliability ratings are below average. Models from 2005–2008 all have a lot of issues, with improvements for 2009.
Performance is very good from the standard V6 engine.
The Odyssey is a safe minivan, getting a perfect five-star rating in government crash tests, and has an optional rearview camera.
Fuel economy is okay, at up to 19 mpg combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

Elizabeth T

Very good for family and traveling.

Love my Honda odyssey. It has lots of space you can fit 8 people and still have room for coolers, kids toys and more stuff on the back even with the 3rd row of seats up. The front seats have warmers which is nice during cold season. Is very roomy inside all passengers are comfortable even adults seating on the 3rd row. It has defroster on the windshield as well as the back window. All the windows are electric and the doors are automatic. The rear view camera is a most in a minivan. My minivan is equipped with a DVD system with a separate audio and headphone for the passengers on the back so while my kids watch their movies I can still listen to my music.

Stacy K

A great family car for those who needs space, reliability, and convenience.

The Honda Odyssey is a great car because of the space, reliability, and flexibility. With three rows of seats, it's great for a big family or transporting lots of friends. You can transport lots of things which is helpful for moving between homes or helping out friends. It's a very reliable car. My family has had this car since 2009, and ten years later it still runs reliably and we have only had one major issue with the alternator. The seats are comfortable, with seat heaters in the front. It's great for everyday travel, road trips, and everything in between.

Jo R

It handles like a car but has the roominess of a van.

I love how the vehicle handles. I like how spacious it is. I love the storage room. I love the dual control temperature settings.

Lenore T

Honda Odyssey is a reliable car

Plenty of room for my whole family. Can fold down seats and haul cargo. Reliable, very few repairs in 11 years.

Leanne H

Honda Odysseys are solid, reliable vehicles that last a long time. You get your money's worth.

I love the comfort and durability of the seats in all three rows and how easy the fabric is to clean. The van feels solid, smooth and safe while driving and has had no major mechanical issues. I wish it had more cigarette lighters in the back for charging devices. Overall, the van has held up well to use by my family of 5 over the past 8 years. It has almost 170,000 miles.

Odyssey Minivan Review from a working mom of 4!

I love my Honda Odyssey! It's has been a great vehicle for kids. I love how comfortable it is for travel. What makes it comfortable and convenient is the ease of getting kids in and out with ease. We are able to go on vacation with all 4 of our kids and all our belongings fitting inside very easily.

Sandra V

It drives smoothly. Can easily haul large items when needed. Carries my kids and additional friends or family as needed. The only thing I would change is I wish it had bluetooth.

It drives smoothly and handles nice. Can easily take a family of 7 on long car trips.

Dominique P

It is a great car when you are starting a little family.

I love my car it is very spacious and comfortable. Do not dislike my car at all. . . Just do not like that it is so old.

Negative Owner Reviews

Matt F

Honda, not worth the money.

The car is way to loud and bulky. The automatic doors get stuck all the time. Always sounds like there is wind in the car when you go over 45. The car is huge and annoying to park. Can't go that fast. All colors are ugly on the car. The trunk gets stuck.

Meg s

It is very reliable, but not gas efficient.

I hate that it is a minivan. It has been quit reliable though. And it is good for long trips.

Tracy P

Sensors for automatic sliding doors have failed several times.

Electric door and light issues constantly. Complicated seat removal/insertion. Like the amount of space.

Sara C

Honda needs to be gone-da.

Comfortable and great for getting my family around but not very cute. I was previous reliable but has definitely gone down hill with age, we used to drive from Dallas to fort Morgan Alabama every summer but I would be scared to do that now. The biggest plus is that it fits my whole family.

Helen K

Clunky but consistent - it is not fun to drive but it is generally reliable

It is too long to park easily. Its steering wheel is stiff at low speeds. It gets terrible gas mileage. I have never enjoyed driving it though, on the flip side, other than the steering wheel it has generally been reliable.

Patricia B

It is pretty trustworthy and I would trust it to go for another 12 years.

It is to big for me and bad gas mileage. It is almost paid for and will be mine. I have never liked the dark gray color.

John B

You can fit an air mattress in the trunk space making it the ultimate car camping vehicle.

The Honda Odyssey does not have a reputation as a cool car. People always say " you drive a minivan?" But the car runs great. Has had past problems with the struts and brakes but I fixed those. I would buy it again.

elizabeth g

It is spacious. IT is comfortable. It is affordable.

It is functional and my family enjoys it every day.

What Do Critics Say About the Odyssey?

Consumer Reports says the Odyssey is noisy, with average owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Odyssey a 4.2/5, liking the responsive handling, but disliking the high price.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Odyssey 4.5/5 and enjoy the engaging driving experience, but don’t like the cheap interior.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Honda Odyssey Have?

Problems found on the 2007 Odyssey include peeling paint, loss of power steering, and excessive oil consumption.

Peeling paint is the most common complaint from owners at around 100,000 miles. The roof in particular tends to peel very easily as the van gets older, and costs about $1,500 to repaint.

A loss of power steering is mentioned by owners at around 70,000 miles. The power steering pump wears out quickly, and replacing the entire pump assembly costs around $1,000.

Excessive oil consumption shows up within the first 100,000 miles. There are two main sources including failed seals in the engine, and a worn-out oil pump. Replacing the oil pump costs around $1,000, and rebuilding the engine with new seals costs over $2,000.

There are five serious recalls covering the brakes which leak fluid, increasing the risk of a crash, and the fuel pump which can cause a fire if it leaks.

How Long Will the 2007 Honda Odyssey Last?

A properly maintained 2007 Odyssey will last around 200,000 miles, which is about 100,000 miles less than top-rated competitors like the Toyota Sienna. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to rivals, according to Repair Pal, at $447 per year.

Most 2007 Odysseys will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace the fuel pump for $900, the exhaust gas valve costing $300, and the steering knuckle which costs $700.

Heather M

It has had some minor issues with the engine and I believe a couple of recalls but I am sorry I cannot remember specifics. . Currently our side sliding doors are broken but all things break and we will get them fixed.

Latasha C

I have had this can since January and the only problem I have had was an issue with the axles, which needed to be changed.

Leslie C

The only problem I have noticed is that they do get scratched easily, other than that it is very good.

cheryl l

No. Perfect condition. Everything works. Excellent trim. Excellent heat and excellent radio. Sounds awesome/buy another.

liz s

Yes it is reliable. Honda's are fairly cheap to fix so if something breaks down or needs repaired my boyfriend can do it quickly and efficiently.

Jenny W

Yes is very reliable. I have had no major issues with mine I have only had to replace tires I do have 3 tire sensors that are out but they are not necessary to fix.

Christy Y

Just like with any car, if the odyssey has its routine maintenance done, it will be reliable. It is very well built and the mechanical components are sturdy.

Sarah K

Very reliable. One of the doors has a weird spring that is making it not open and close properly. Otherwise there'r e do not seem to be any problems.

How Much is the 2007 Honda Odyssey Worth?

Blue book values on the Odyssey range from $5,228 – 6,662, making it about $1,500 more expensive than a Chrysler Town & Country or Nissan Quest. When new, the price range was $25,645 to $39,095. Depreciation is average, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Odyssey?

There are four models of the Odyssey available. Technology is okay, but there’s an update in 2008 that adds a new infotainment system.

LX is the entry-level model with:

16-inch Steel Wheels
Cloth Seating
Keyless Entry
Manual Sliding Doors
Four-speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo System

EX is a step up adding features such as:

16-inch Alloy Wheels
Power Sliding Doors
Power Driver’s Seat
Six-speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo With 6-Disc Changer

Heated Front Seats
Power Moonroof
Optional Navigation & Rearview Camera

What Engines Come in the Odyssey?

The only engine offered in the 2007 Odyssey is a powerful 3.5L V6 making 244 horsepower and getting up to 19 mpg combined. Performance is good for a van, taking 8.6 seconds to go 0-60 mph.

What Colors Does the Odyssey Come In?

How Big is the Odyssey?

The 2007 Odyssey is an average-sized minivan similar to the Kia Sedona or Dodge Grand Caravan. Passenger room is good throughout the cabin with room for adults in all three rows.

Cargo space is great, offering 38.4 cu. ft. of room behind the third row, 91 behind the second, and all the way up to 147 cu. ft. with all of the seats folded flat or removed.

How Does the Odyssey Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Sienna is a popular rival, which costs about $1,000 more. Where the Sienna stands out is with a more reliable powertrain, but the technology is more advanced in the Odyssey. We recommend the Sienna for 2007 since there are fewer complaints from owners.

The Chrysler Pacifica is another competitor costing about $2,000 less. Interior materials are higher quality in the Pacifica, but the Odyssey has more room for passengers. We recommend neither for the 2007 model year, since they both have some mechanical issues.

I like that it have side doors

I absolutely love how spacious the vehicle is, I also like that it have side doors. It makes me feel safe and comfortable :)

Brian T on April 12, 2021

Safety, comfort and reliability

I can’t praise my odyssey enough. Comfortable, super reliable, economical and a great cruiser. What you get for you’re money is remarkable and would definitely buy again. Nice one Honda!

Mike H on April 4, 2021

It is very roomy. A great car for road trips. It gets good gas mileage.

I like the 3rd row seating. I don't like the tires on it.

Jessica R on March 23, 2021

It can be privy to fix. After a few years we have had trouble with the sliding doors.

It's sliding doors. It's roomy for our kids. The navigation system.

AMY T on March 22, 2021

My car makes me feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy driving it and my older kids have learned to drive on it as well and love it.

My Honda Odyssey has leather heated seats which I love in the winter! It also has a DVD player to keep the kids busy. The slider doors on both sides are wonderful for getting people in and out. And it gets decent gas mileage for a van.

Gina D on March 16, 2021

Reliable Odyssey over 200,000 miles

My Odyssey has been an extremely reliable vehicle. It rarely needs more than the minimum service and has more than 200,000 miles.

Sirill B on March 16, 2021

Great for having lots of people, and that the wires was eaten by a groundhog.

I like the 8 seats, and that there are space to carry luggage. Wish it was a little more fuel efficient.

mar g on March 16, 2021

BUY THIS VEHICLE Roomy; love the DVD player for kids.

I have had this vehicle for 11 years. I keep up with oil changes and maintenance. It runs perfect. When the time comes, I will buy another Honda Odyssey

M C on March 15, 2021

It has many miles and still going strong.

The Honda gets good gas mileage. It is comfortable for the passengers. I don't like that the gear shifter obstructs the view of the a.c. Controls.

Tatianna L on March 14, 2021

Honda Odyssey - Perfect Family Vehicle

It has a high JD Power reliability score and rated high in safety scores by consumers and in crash tests by government and private party. I love it, even though it is older it drives amazing and is perfect for a family with kids. Honda Odyssey fan for life.

Kate L on March 14, 2021

Terrific family car with lots of room for kids and pets, plus all of their stuff.

My Honda Odyssey has been a wonderful car. We bought it preowned at 50K miles and now it has about 175K. We have traveled all over the U.S. In it and it has been a workhorse. We love all of the room for suitcases and passengers. Usually we travel with 4 adults and 2 medium size dogs, plus all of their suitcases and food prep needs for a week or more and everything fits. We use the DVD player on trips or the 6 CD player for entertainment. There is an inverter in the back which helps make sure that e-devices all stay charged. We have had a few repairs needed, but they were all covered on the extended warranty. It came with run-flat tires and those have given us great peace of mind. An all around great car.

Linda D on March 7, 2021

Comfort is the best quality of our Honda Odyssey. Great for long trips.

Love the Honda Odyssey. Plenty of room for 8 which works well for transporting our grandchildren. Very comfortable for long trips.

Diana H on March 5, 2021

The car is reliable, still drives well, and can fit many people.

Like: drives easy/well, reliable, large enough to fit many people. Dislike: difficult to park, too large size, mileage.

Melena M on March 4, 2021

There is a lot of room in my car.

I like that the doors will open on their own. I like how much room there is in the van and I really love how much room is in the trunk space.

Helen K on March 4, 2021

Clunky but consistent - it is not fun to drive but it is generally reliable

Maureen V on March 2, 2021

2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L with DVD and power side doors.

I bought my Honda Odyssey New in 2007, after having leased a 2004 Honda Odyssey. It is a very reliable and spacious vehicle. It comfortably seats 7. It has plenty of room to transport items or gear. It drives very nice and gets good gas mileage.

Sandy P on March 1, 2021

The Honda 2007 Odyssey Vehicle

The Honda Odyssey 2007 is a great car for a larger family. It has a built in DVD player along with a TV. The leather in the seat is very comfortable for long trips. The speed can go fast. The features in the car are high technology for the time. We got our car 12 years ago and it has served us well, even on our long road trips.

Rhonda C on March 1, 2021

Incredible for families, many family friendly features

Storage options are great! Love how the seats fold into the floor. Great to drive. Family friendly

Stephanie L on February 18, 2021

The perfect car for a growing family.

We initially bought this car because we knew it had good reviews. We decided to buy used. It did have low mileage that we liked. I wasn't happy that we had to replace the a/c right after we bought it. Also, it doesn't have an audio jack, so we don't have a way to play our music off of our phones. Overall though it is a reliable car.

Aimee G on February 9, 2021

It feels like it's always needing servicing by the dealership (dashboard light turns on) and it can be expensive.

I like that it's big enough to take camping and hold all our gear. I like that it his side doors that open/close automatically so my kids can get in and out without help. I don't like the mpg it gets. I also don't like how wide it feels.

Jennifer K on February 4, 2021

We travel to lexington ky to grand rapids mi on almost 1 tank of gas.

Love that the seats are removable. Love the automatic doors. Love the kid friendly features like the sunshades and DVD player.

Bonnie M on January 29, 2021

They call the Honda Odyssey a mom van for good reason.

I absolutely love how spacious the vehicle is, that there is A/C controlled in the back of the van, there's a DVD player for long trips, the back seats set into the floor for more space, and that there are several ways to close the sliding doors rather than slam them shut or pry them open. I don't like that there are problems with the transmission, although it is at 200,000 miles. All around a pretty good vehicle. Rides smooth and the gas mileage isn't terrible.

J E on January 28, 2021

It has been a very dependable van.

Positives: very comfortable for all passengers, excellent sound system, XM radio, smooth ride, ample storage space. Negatives: wind noise, seat leather not high quality- cracks and splits despite regular conditioning, pax tires expensive.

A B on January 23, 2021

2007 Honda odyssey the last of the big family car.

The vehicle when new was better. As time goes on the mechanics is still. The car has loosened up a bit meaning, it makes more creaking noises as I am driving. The performance is still okay considering it is an eleven year old car. I have done nothing major to the car just normal maintenance.

Bob M on January 21, 2021

None that I have done it for me the last one was done with the.

It is very good but I didn't know how to get it done and then I asked the teacher to get it done and I asked him if he got it done so he asked me to the doctor he asked me if he asked me where he started and I asked the teacher about it done it all in one way or two or a couple seconds ago I was just trying not know I know how.

Jill M on January 21, 2021

Honda odyssey makes the Iliad jealous.

Love our upgraded package. Spacious and comfortable. Really awesome features. Love the drivability, especially how customizable the seat settings are.

Benjamin D on January 19, 2021

Big and has a lot of storage and has been a reliable vehicle that has been great for our family

Best things of the car are it's reliability, had relatively few major problems with it and handles smoothly. Negative things are that it has horrible blind spots and rides very low to the ground

Bethany H on January 15, 2021

The Odyssey is a wonderful and practical family vehicle.

I like that it has automatic doors i can open with a button. I like that it is spacious for my family and has so many family friendly features like a dvd player and headphones. I do not like that my average has mileage is 16 mpg.

Christina V on January 14, 2021

It can be expanded into 8 seats which we have done many times.

I have never had any problems with my vehicle since I have owned it. The only problems were related to hitting a deer, but everything was fixed. It speeds up quickly and breaking excellent. I will always buy a Honda from now on! It does not have an aux port which is the only problem with this year, but I love everything about this van. You can even expand it have 8 seats which is great for large families.

Janet D on January 12, 2021

It is safe, reliable and I feel good about driving with my grandkids in the car.

It is great for going out with my son and his family. Very reliable, easy maintenance. It could be a little easier to park for me.

Stacy K on January 8, 2021

A great family car for those who needs space, reliability, and convenience.

Ann S on January 6, 2021

The car has heated seats and leather seats and can be removed or fold down.

The car rides well. My husband keeps up with the repairs it needed very little repairs. He takes the car to Honda dealer he gets oil changed really haven't had any major work just had a pump changed for the anti freeze the car has 120, 000 and continues to run well it has been to Florida back and forth several times we have taken it on many trips. The seats are leather they do get hot in the summer and cold in winter thy do have heated seats in the front. ;the van has plenty of room in it to fit everyone comfortably plenty of foot space. The seats fold back into the trunk seat can also be taken out in the middle also has room in 2 seat on floor that make an extra seat goes between the buckets seat in back in 2nd row. That will give more storage to put tapes and movies and etc. We have own the car for eleven years and I enjoy driving it.

Laura A on January 4, 2021

It's not brand new--it is kind of old, but we've tried to take good care of it.

I like that it has power sliding doors that I can open with the push of a button. I love how much space I have. I do wish I had a button to push to open and close the tailgate, but I can't complain too much.

Aaron H on January 4, 2021

It is a very well rounded vehicle, definitely recommend.

I have never had problems with the vehicle. It is very roomy and is very comfortable. It has come in handy when I go to trips with the family and when I am trying to move stuff from one place to another. Since I've had the car I haven't had any issues with it and has given me zero problems.

Kristina C on January 3, 2021

Odyssey is a perfect family vehicle.

This minivan is awesome! The leather seats are easy to keep clean. The DVD player helps to keep the rear passengers entertained and with the included headphones, the driver and front passenger do not have to listen to the movie the entire trip! Plenty of room for everything you need and super comfortable!

Jewels I on December 29, 2020

Comfy, easy and perfect for families.

I love the comfort and convenience that the Honda Odyssey brings me. It is easy to buckle in my toddlers and spacious enough for our teens. Some issues include the tire light that stays on saying our air pressure is off even when they have new air in them. It is a little frustrating. I also would love a bit more Usable trunk space.

donna b on December 21, 2020

I like that i can take the seats out and use it to haul stuff

It was very well designed. I disliked the juice box holders. And the front cup holder was limiting. It had a great family feeling to it.

Ally A on December 19, 2020

It is a family car. Also known as a mini van.

I loved how I was able to be independent. I was given a big car so I could be safe and that is how I felt. I was even able to bring friends with me to places without worrying about space.

Dominique P on December 13, 2020

It is a great car when you are starting a little family.

I love my car it is very spacious and comfortable. Do not dislike my car at all. . . Just do not like that it is so old.

Sarah G on December 12, 2020

Great for vacations families, good comfort interior space great for long drives.

Very much a luxury van. This van is great for long trips with it is large comfortable seats, media and entertainment system and ample room to store luggage, coolers and anything else needed. Gas mileage is decent, even for a model with a few years on it. Unfortunately, maintenance is pricey.

Moss A on December 11, 2020

Honda Odyssey, 2007. This car has never had an accident.

My car is a Honda Odyssey 2007, this car has never had any engine problems. Few scratches throughout the years driving the car. This car is very reliable especially the fact that it last very long with low gas. Comfortable cotton seats. Clean and very good condition. Replaces brakes few months ago. I love this car and is the only I really live to drive. This car will never get old.

Keith P on December 5, 2020

The little maintenance cost for my vehicle over the years as a plus for me.

The Honda odyssey that I have Owned since 2007 it's one of the most reliable cars that I've had in my life with over 170,000 miles on my car I've only had to replace my transmission once and I've hardly had any major maintenance problems other than the catalytic converter which just went out and I had to replace. I've taken numerous trips around California over the years with my children and I have never been stuck due to engine problems or issues regarding the vehicle. Maintenance cars have always been low and affordable for me to fix such as oil changes two nights in basic maintenance that you have on any vehicle that's in a group price range between $30,000. Of the best purchases made and I'm still driving 12 years later and help to get another five years

Emily G on December 4, 2020

My current Honda Odyssey is the second I have owned. Both have been very reliable, with only minor issues to be expected from used vehicles. It has a lot of space, and I like how the seating can be manipulated (3rd row of seats can fold into floor of vehicle).

It is reliable, lasts to a high mileage, and has lots of space.

Heather M on December 1, 2020

A work horse of a vehicle

Comfortable to drive, picks up speed well, handles curves nicely. Very reliable in the ice and snow, gets great traction, corrects itself well, never had a problem. Love the way I can change around the seating arrangement. Love the audio, video system. Plays DVDs without a problem. Screen has held up nicely. Has plugins in the back seat for extra electronic gadgets. Love being able to lay the back seats down level with the floor so my dogs can ride with ease and or I can load up a bunch of garden supplies, camping gear or groceries. Just a very versatile well driving vehicle, no complaints. Has performed amazingly well over the years. I think it has had an airbag recall. We have replaced a few minor things over the years but I can't recall what. Nothing major though. It currently has over 160,000 miles on it and is going strong. We take it on long camping trips as well as everyday driving. Would recommend an Odyssey to anyway. Great vehicle, great engine.

Debbie B on November 28, 2020

How dependable it is and that it needs very little repair.

I love how dependable it is. I have lots of room inside and it is comfortable. I have no complaints.

Whitney D on November 26, 2020

Its convenience level with children.

I love the convenience of the electronic doors. I love the fact that it fits up to 8 people while still having two captains chairs. It is also extremely reliable and has never given me any major problems that were not my own fault.

Sharon B on November 26, 2020

Its comfortable and has plenty of room for family.

I like my vehicle because it has room for my family to ride comfortably, inks attractive, it gets good mileage, and it was gifted to me.

James M on November 24, 2020

Reliable But Expensive to Maintain

Seats 7 passengers, fold-down and/or removable rear seats, V6, automatic, leather interior, back-up camera, anti-lock brakes, in-car GPS. Very expensive to fix if anything goes wrong.

Tiffany T on November 19, 2020

It is reliable and quality.

It is easy to maintain with no issues as long as you take care of it. We are close to 200, 000 miles and still running strong. The video player for long trips at worth it with kids. The space can easily seat 3large forward facing car seats.

Kale C on November 12, 2020

The color is a cool purple-red.

It is pretty outdated, and a bit clunky to drive. It mostly works fine but I am afraid to take it long distances because it might break down. So it works for now but not a long term vehicle. It also is not exactly eco friendly and takes a lot of gas.

Karen S on November 11, 2020

That it's had some recalls to do with the transmission.

I like it because it is a dependable vehicle. I like that it is roomy and our family has cubbies everywhere. I like the sunroof. I don't like that the dvd quit working about 8 years after buying the vehicle new and that the sliding doors have issues.
