What owners wrote
2005 honda odyssey tailgate hinge failure. Consumer states that the tailgate fell onto her while she was reaching into the back of the van. Mechanic determined that the left tailgate support malfunctioned and replaced it.
I was driving my children to school, ages 9 and 6, and as I was driving the sliding passenger door on the driver's side opened. My 6 year old daughter who was sitting next to the door said "mommy the door is opening". I was driving only about 10 to 15 MPH and was able to immediately pull over and I kept on opening and closing the door and would appear to be closed but as I continued to drive it would open again.
