Example complaints

“When I opened the rear power liftgate, it got almost completely open and then unexpectedly closed while making a beeping sound. It would have closed on my head if I didn't jump out of the way fast enough. I tried it again using the remote again and then w/ the liftgate button on the dashboard and it continues to malfunction.”
NHTSA complaint #10324660, filed 2010-04, 28,500 miles“Our 2007 Honda Odyssey was working perfectly until yesterday when the hatch shut on me. It knocked me out for a minute. I don't know what happened that it just stopped working but it just missed our new puppy who was in my arms at the time.”
NHTSA complaint #10416281, filed 2011-07, 51,000 miles“The rear hatch of my 2007 Honda Odyssey touring van suddenly fell on my 13 year old daughter as she was leaning into the cargo area of the van. The it appears that the struts designed to hold the door opened failed. The door weighs at least 50 pounds.”
NHTSA complaint #10313499, filed 2010-02, 81,000 miles“I have a 2007 Honda Odyssey and the sliding doors do not latch properly, which could open while driving with my children sitting in the car. I get an audible chime telling me a door is ajar, but no warning light on the dash. When I come to a stop by hitting the breaks I hear the door finally close. This is a very scary knowing that I could be driving down the interstate and my doors could slide open at anytime. I have taken my car to the dealership numerous times in which they have replaced a failed door latch and tightened the chain and the problem still has not been corrected. …”
NHTSA complaint #10384106, filed 2011-02, 30,300 miles“Rear liftgate struts on 2007 Honda Odyssey experienced sudden failure causing the rear liftgate to suddenly close on person standing beneath. Liftgate was functioning properly, lifted and closed no issues. Sunday 06/12 opened the liftgate and proceeded underneath as the liftgate came crashing down. No longer has strut assist to open or support it.”
