Consumer Description

ON TWO RECENT OCCASIONS, THE TAILGATE HAS LOWERED ITSELF WITHOUT THE DRIVER PRESSING THE TAILGATE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD OR ON THE TAILGATE ITSELF. IT LOWERS WITHOUT GIVING THE NORMAL AUDIBLE SIGNAL. AND IN BOTH CASES, THERE WAS A MINOR INJURY OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THE PROBLEM. ONCE TO A CHILD, AND THE LATEST TO AN ADULT. IN THE LATEST INCIDENT, THE DRIVERS HEAD (EAR) WAS IMPACTED BY THE DOWNWARD FORCE OF THE TAILGATE, PRESSING THE HEAD AGAINST THE LEFT REAR CORNER OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THE DRIVER WAS LEANING INTO THE REAR COMPARTMENT. VERY PAINFUL TO THE DRIVER'S LEFT EAR, BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP - WHERE THE VEHICLE IS NORMALLY MAINTAINED - STATES THIS VIN IS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR FAULTY TAILGATE STRUTS OR RELATED. *TR
