The car seems to consume motor oil and I have to add motor oils after certain miles. I did oil level check every month or bi-monthly and I started to realize that I was driving the van with very low oil low level. At first I thought it could be because the car is old but from my experience with other much older car, oil consumption has not been an issue. Check with the dealer and other mechanics and they all gave me the same explanations that the issue is related to the mileage of the car (getting old). At the time I started to realize the issue, the car had only approximately 80k miles...

We bought a 1999 honda odyssey from carmax and the first week that we got the car the check engine light came on and we took it to carmax. According to them they fixed the problem and everything was fine the engine light went off. Then when it came back on for the same problem they apparently fixed it again. This happened a few times. Now we didn't have warranty and our van was acting up. The transmission would give a jerk when going from 1st to 2nd gear. The egr ports were clogged and the catalytic converter was messed up from day 1. We took it to our honda dealership and they said it wasn't the transmission, but it was. About a 4 months later it got really bad and we had to get our transmission rebuilt, the ignition switch problem started also (the car engine would stall randomly and it we would have to stop the car on the shoulder of the freeway and restart the car going at 60 MPH+), now we spent 2500 bucks to get everything fixed. But now our electrical system is bad. The in dash lights don't work and the back lights don't work. The doors just died for some reason. One second the handles would work and the next second the handles are dead from inside. Our alarm system doesn't work either because of the electric problem. All we want is our car to be fixed. We've been lied to by carmax and the honda dealership over and over. Can you guys just help us fix our car?

New model year in '99. Gas tank is plastic. Has a "minor" scratch down the length of the tnk, cause unknown. Resulted in seepage from the fuel tank. Nticec strong odor of gasoline and brought to dealer (not where originally purchased). Asvised by dealer tht was due to a road hazard and tank needed to be replaced. I am concerned about the ease with which the tank was damaged and concerned that the next time there might be a fire or fatality. There is not a shield or other preventative mechanism on the roadside, underside of the vehicvle to prevent this from re-occurring and the visible damage is negligible...since is a new model year, I dont want to be the one who makes the nightly news as the first fire fatality.!! The dealer so far has not conceeded that there is a design problem. Rather has quoted their engineers as having said that this van has passed all government tests ant there is a shield but is located on the van side not the underside of the tank. Frankly this does not make me feel comfortable that it will offer much in the way of protection should this re-occur. Again, the damage is barely visible to the eye. A slight scratdh taht is not deep enough to cause a leak, bu rather a seeping of gas. No puncture, dents, bangs etc appear on the tank...help! Thanksdheidps thebrrbveuaaha road hasseod
