    The liftgate struts failed suddenly and no longer support the heavy door. There was no gradual deterioration. Ours is a manual version - not powered and for some reason isn't covered by the recall 12v062000, even though it uses the same part that was determined to be defective in that investigation - nhtsa action number : pe11034. It was determined that it failed at unacceptable rate and the number of complaints…

    I opened the rear lift gate of the van. The struts that hold the gate open failed and hit my son in the head.

I request the nhtsa investigate the failure of the manual lift gate and require honda to fix this equipment…

    The gas-filled struts on the rear lift gate of my honda odyssey minivan have completely failed. The rear lift gate to the minivan now falls shut with a very dangerous speed and force. The lift gate is very heavy and i am certain it would severely injure my 4 year old boys if it was dropped or accidentally let go. Honda has recalled other 2008 and 2009 gas-filled struts for ex-l and touring models but claims that my…
