Description of the problem | The rear tailgate struts on my honda odyssey van failed once i opened it. The heavy tailgate began to close on me while i was under it and had i not noticed it coming down it would have crushed me. I'm elderly and struggled with the weight of the tailgate as i caught it. The passenger-side strut completely failed, leaking some kind of fluid out of it and the driver-side strut is also leaking. These leaks and failures were sudden as i had recently washed the van a day before and did not find any leaks when i cleaned the tailgate. *js |
