My rear passenger door will not open from outside or inside. This poses a huge safety issue!!! also the tailgate only opens on occasion!.
The vehicle was parked in a parking lot. I opened the tailgate to store my goods. I began to close the tailgate. The tailgate was being closed by the rear switch and the left edge hit my head. It continued closing for an additional 1-2 seconds before reversing and re-opening. It resulted in a laceration and bleeding that required first-aid.
The key fob will automatic open all windows and moon roof if unlock button is hit in a certain sequence accidentally. Also, you can accidentally open tailgate. Honda needs to have a disable feature. Both of these have happen twice on me.
The "tailgate cover" detached and flew off while driving on the interstate at 70 mph - not turning, stopping, or decelerating. Thankfully, it hit the road surface and not another driver! upon stopping and closer inspection, there are three (3) broken plastic peg-like things still in their connectors. There are two screws with broken plastic around them. There are three white ports with no pins connected, leaving me to assume those three connecting pins were not adequately engaged leading to the failure.
