The 2003 Honda Odyssey is the same minivan design as it has been for years. For the most part, the option of a navigation system or an entertainment system is all that is new. The V-6, 3.5-liter engine has more powerful with 240-hp. It has quicker acceleration, though may be sluggish going uphill. All 2003 Odyssey models have electronic traction control via ABS with their (EBD) Electronic Braking Distribution system that calculates weight distribution inside the vehicle, and will adjust braking action during hard stops.
Drivers really enjoy the looks of the Odyssey minivan with the sleek, attractive design. The fact that the 4-wheel independent suspension (struts in front with stabilizer bar and coil springs with wishbone rear suspension and coil springs) makes driving smoother, also appeals to many user reviewers. Most drivers expect that by staying with the regular maintenance schedule, this minivan will run dependably for a very long time. The most consistent problem over the years has been the transmission, even with the 5-speed. It has excellent fuel efficiency, low emissions, and with the back seat folded down, tremendous cargo space.
Owner reviews are pretty high for the 2003 Honda Odyssey. Now with standard side airbags, this vehicle has been awarded 5-stars in all crash test results. This minivan comfortably seats seven people - with headrests, and is probably the best bargain on the market.
We replaced the struts, sway bar, and bushings. We have spent over $1500 dollars and still have the same noises. Our dealer wants us to replace the new struts new KYG again with the Honda stuts. Estimated cost is $1000. Help!
Sometimes my van will not start. When this happens, the van has no power to it whatsoever it is completely dead. There are never lights left on or anything that I could have done to cause it. I have replaced the alternator, battery, and battery terminals. The issue occurs randomly. The van could start everyday for 2 weeks straight with no issue but then one day it will decide not to. When it doesn't start, there are no noises upon turning key and there is no power to any part of the van whatsoever. Luckily, I have a jump pack and every time I use the jump pack the van does start. No certain conditions, such as cold or warm outside, causes this issue. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
So my wife was driving her honda odyssey to work...and cel and TCS lights came on.

I tried disconnecting the battery but now the door won't open or close from the power button near the steering wheel. What can i try now?
My van has no get up and go. pull out of the driveway foot almost to the floor and the van is just moving very very slowly and then it'll kick in but slowly. Cannot accelerate well or go up hills any incline is like I need The Flintstones to keep it running. Decrease power, kind of scary on the freeway.
