Description of the problem | The rear lift gate is impossible to open in cold weather for our 2016 honda odyssey ex. There is only one mechanism to open the rear lift gate - a physical button on the rear lift gate. When temperatures dip into 30 or 40 degrees f, the lift gate will not open. Honda released a service bulletin (16-063; april 11 2018) indicating that this is a known problem affecting all odysseys between 2011-2017 (and all crvs between 2012-2016). Unfortunately, we are out of warranty and are facing an expensive repair. Given the number of vehicles affected, we would expect honda to issue a recall rather than a service bulletin. This is definitely a hassle, especially when attempting to load anything into the trunk, and could represent a significant safety issue in the event of a crash when other doors are inoperative. |
