“The rear door/hatch of our 2006 Honda Pilot has an issue with the latching mechanism. The actual mechanism on the rear hatch has become disconnected from the frame and is able to move freely about. This causes the rear hatch to not latch, latch partially, or latch but still allow the rear hatch to slightly move. The latching mechanism is only being held in place (in a confined area) by the plastic paneling of the car. Since the latch is no longer attached to the frame, the movement of the mechanism determines if the rear hatch is going to latch or not. …”
