    The speedometer and tachometer failed during the trip on highway, i brought the van to the dealer, but they don't have the parts and don't know when the parts will become available. Driving without speedometer could be dangerous especially in winter conditions.

    The automatic transmission allows the minivan to slip backward on a hill when the foot is taken off the accelerator or brake. Since i had never driven this minivan before, i almost slid backward into another vehicle. As this transmission is unlike that on other cars i have driven, a warning should be placed prominently in the manual, and the dealer should instruct new honda owners about this risk.
