Consumer Description

MY DAUGHER AND I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY VAN AND OPENED UP MY TAILGATE TO SEE WHERE THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM. THE TAILGATE WAS WORKING BUT A CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE STRUT ON THE LEFT. BOTH MY SIX YEAR OLD AND I WERE UNDER THE TAILGATE AT THE TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM. TEN MINUTES LATER THE STRUT FAILED. IT WOULD NO LONGER STAY OPEN AT ALL AND SLAMMED DOWN INSTEAD OF STAYING OPEN. HAD MY DAUGHTER AND/OR I HAD BEEN UNDER IT AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE. IT IS COMMON FOR BOTH OF MY CHILDREN AND I TO UNPACK ITEMS FROM THE VAN AND IT SICKENS ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED BEFORE ON HONDA ODDESSEY VANS! *TR
