Consumer Description

THE POWER BACK HATCH ON MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL SLAMS SHUT AND WILL NOT HOLD. THE POWER BACK HATCH OPENS ALL THE WAY UP, TRIES TO STAY UP BUT SLAMS BACK DOWN. IT FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT IS FAILING ALL THE TIME NOW. THE HATCH SLAMS WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE AND IF ANY OF MY 3 KIDS ARE IN THE VICINITY IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. A VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I HAVE A FULL FRONT TO BACK WARRANTY AND APPARENTLY IT DOES NOT COVER THE BACK HATCH. *TR
