The tailgate struts that support the tailgate (back) door of the minivan failed (collapsed) when the door was in its open position. This caused the back door to slam shut with great force.

My passenger power slide door kept opening up while driving and would latch when turned off which deadened the battery it was fixed for $680.00. Now the other slide door is doing the same thing.

The struts failed to hold up the tailgate and fall on my wife head, during the loading of our groceries on our recent grocery's outing. The two gas-powered tailgate struts (support rods) that raise and hold up the power tailgate of the honda odyssey van's equipped with them failed to hold up the tailgate. They are now no longer functional. *tr

As i was unloading groceries from the rear of my van, the lift gate suddenly and unexpectedly dropped on me.
