Now have a 2012 odyssey that has 245k miles. We have had more issues with the odyssey, the biggest is a misfire at idle that has never really gone away no matter what we have done

We went Odyssey, mainly cause I don’t trust Chrysler. Zero issues, 2018.

You are wrong about the Pacifica Transmission — it's the exact same as Honda
