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.
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.
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.
The only problem I have noticed is that they do get scratched easily, other than that it is very good.
No. Perfect condition. Everything works. Excellent trim. Excellent heat and excellent radio. Sounds awesome/buy another.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
