This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
Wouldn't think the struts would have failed quite yet, and that door is quite heavy without them.

Needs to be recalled. Rear lift gate will not stay up, slams down and has become very dangerous.

I replaced the tailgate stay open assemblies myself. It was not difficult. I ordered the parts online.
The failure did not cause injury but it could have, as the tailgate is very heavy. It is dangerous to operate the tailgate in this condition.
I did not attempt to get it fixed under warranty because that is always such a hassle, and the repair was not difficult. I don't think the parts should fail at such a young age - 3 1/2 years.

This is second set of lift gates that will be replaced. When they've failed, the gate abruptly falls on the person causing bodily injury to head and body.

Tailgate would not assist in opening or hold open, so loading and unloading is a pain. Honda fixed for free, and now it works fine.
