AS I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES FROM THE REAR OF MY VAN, THE LIFT GATE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED ON ME. I WAS NOT INJURED BUT IF I HAD BEEN A SMALL CHILD OR A WEAK ELDERLY PERSON IT COULD HAVE HAD TRAGIC RESULTS. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE GATE A SECOND TIME WHILE STANDING SAFELY AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH THE STAY ASSEMBLY TAILGATE OPENER WHICH KEEPS THE GATE IN THE OPEN POSITION. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM EARLIER IN THE DAY WHEN I LOADED GROCERIES INTO THE VAN HOWEVER.. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A WIDE OPENING ON THE LOWER GRILL OF THE VEHICLE. A ROCK ENTERED THE GRILL AND CREATED A HOLE IN THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER, WHICH CAUSED A LEAK. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 61,000. UPDATED 12-12-07. *KB
