4 Hatchback/liftgate problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2012

The lift gate gas filled struts on our 2007 Honda Odyssey have failed. The lift gate will not stay open to pack the van for trips and requires some sort of prop to stay open. The gate has fallen twice off the prop and hit me, not seriously, but it hurt. It's heavy. I see that later models have a recall associated with similar problems but the 2007 does not as of yet. (NHTSA campaign #12v062000, action # pe11034).

The rear power liftgate cannot stay in open position. Power liftgate would open and then slam shut occasionally. Struts cannot support weight of rear liftgate.

The power liftgate on my 2007 Honda Odyssey touring minivan started opening partially, and within three days the liftgate would not hold door open. Power struts failed and hit my son and daughter in back as they were climbing into van. No recalls on file for my year model, but have seen several other complaints for the same problem.
