Consumer Description

POWER TAILGATE OPENED AND CAME RIGHT DOWN HITTING MY WIFE. SHE WAS NOT HURT. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE HONDA WE WERE TOLD THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WOULD MAKE THE TAILGATE GO BACK UP IF IT CAME DOWN ON A PERSON OR OBJECT. WHICH IS WHAT IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER HONDA OF SUMNER AT 7:30 AM ON 8/12/2013 TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. WE TOOK IT INTO TODAY AND A GUY ( NOT A SERVICE GUY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.) I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS TO BE A TAILGATE STRUT PROBLEM WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A RECALL ON 2008-2009 MODELS. ACTION NUMBER EA08-015. *TR
