HONDA ODYSSEY TAILGATE STRUT FAILURE. I WENT TO HONDA TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENTS PARTS, AND KEPT THE ORIG ONES AS PROOF. NOW THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS STARTING TO HAVE PROBLEMS, IT DID NOT COMPLETELY FAILED, BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO HOLD UP THE TRUNK GATE AND KEEP IT OPEN. I DID RECEIVE A BUMP ON THE HEAD, SINCE I WAS NOT VERY CLOSE TO THE CAR, BUT THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORST. *TR
