    OOPS. Spelling correction. The 3003 comes with an interplanetary position system, warp drive and an optional meteorite disintegrator for the kids. Place your order early.

      Ha! That's funny ... on that model, the plasma cannons also misfire and the power core leaks positrons.

      Further proof these online goons have no one proofreading their "work" like in print media.

    Apparently, Honda is recalling their vehicles 1,000 years in advance.

    I always thought the plasma coils in the warp nacelles of the 3003 Honda Odyssey were the big problems, but after 1000 years Honda still hasn't fixed the airbags deployment system. Can be temporarily fixed with a hydrospanner and a wookie. *sigh*

      Except the hydrospanner and wookie were long long ago.

    Honda doesn't make their airbags. But it's sad how more and more parts made by other companies for automakers turn out to be junk/defective.

      Honda delivers the car and are totally wrong when they have to recall millions of cars for airbag potential fatallities. They just have to pay thier vedors for good quality control.
    • wingsandsmiles 5 months ago
      How about fatalities instead of fatallities, their instead of thier and vendors instead of vedors.

      Honda doesn't make many of the parts in their cars. They don't make the tires, the windshield, or the oil in the engine. But they are still responsible for ensuring overall quality assurance.

    The airbags are fine until you reach Ludicrous speed.
  • KevinP  •  5 months ago
    This should be more of a concern. Airbag inflators are more like hand grenades than fluffy pillows. What company made this airbag inflator?

    When are we recalling our POLITICIANS for major MIND repairs........ because they always fail to open up towards public welfare......... and when they open up for their own gains...... they bankrupt the country they belong too.................... Do'nt you all think that our politicians are more dangerous than Honda problem.....

    Ok, Japanese crap... really? Many Honda cars are made right here in the United States, by Americans. My dad worked at the Marysville, Ohio plant for 20 years. There are also parts plants located in the United States that employ Americans who supply parts to these Honda plants located in small towns. Some of the parts do come from Japan... but have you researched how many parts in your "American" car come from other countries, not made by Americans? You'd be surprised. I'd also like to add that I drive a 1992 Accord with 212,000 miles on it. Other than wear and tear parts, everything is original, including the transmission. Tell me how many 1992 American cars that have that many miles on it with original engine and transmission are still on the roads? They aren't crap cars, these cars are made by hard working American men and women in the small towns of America you've probably never even heard of.

    it's nice to know that Honda will be around 1,000 years from now.

    "2002 to 3003" its not an typing error.... it cover future vans because they are not going to fix the ones that arent sold yet... jk.. STUPID.....

    Pff i have a 3004 Honda Odyssey GOD edition it has lazer beam tracking plus it uses star dust for fuel... P.s. it still comes with the one read dvd screen to shut the kids up when there acting out of control an want to watch a movie... LOL

    One the commenters here called Honda "Jap Crap". I have a 2000 Honda Civic that I bought new. I still drive it every day, it still gets 30 city/36 highway MPG and has never been in for a major repair. I change the oil, rotate the tires and park in the garage. I expect my Jap Crap Honda will last another 11 years. If American automakers would make a car as reliable and economical as this, I'd buy one.

    They should have a Driver disable option on airbags.

    I just bought a 2000 Honda Accord, they had to rebuild the transmission; when I got the car back after repairs, the SRS light remained on (which stands for Safety Restrain System) which is aka the Air Bag, so I will definitely contact Honda even though the 2000 accord isn't being recalled.
  • HappyGoLuckyBrightNSunny  •  5 months ago
    HAHAHA, I want a 3003, too. But I have a 2004. None of my steering wheel buttons work, was really hoping this would apply to my car so those could get fixed too!
