Consumer Description

POWER-TAILGATE STRUTS HAVE FAILED AND TRUNK WILL NOT REMAIN OPEN. WHEN MY WIFE LIFTED THE TRUNK IT NEARLY FELL ON HER AND HIT HER HEAD. THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING MODELS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD EXTEND TO NON-TOURING MODEL AS WELL (I HAVE A LX 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRIM LEVEL). I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE. IN ORDER TO REPAIR IT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. *TR
