@HondaAccordTourerOX Oh, just read Acowner's response above about struts being tired and on their way out, tired struts would possibly overload the motor and activate your tailgate to start closing prematurely. Try this then... as soon as the tailgate starts to lift tuck your fingers...

I'm only guessing but your tailgate fouling mechanism/sensor is being activated as soon as it opens and then closing and then the tailgate is completely failing to respond? That indicates to me you probably have a controller issue ie check the wiring loom at the tailgate hinge for physical...

Welcome. We don't seem to get many complaints about premature DMF failure so it was probably done while the clutch was out so should all last longer than 80K, I'm pretty sure I'm on my first at 130K so I think you'd be unlucky if you had to. Don't forget the DMF is part reason why the diesel...

Unlikely when links are that old.

What's actually wrong with the tailgate, mine went wrong recently and it ended up being a simple fix however I ended up buying used closer unit when all I needed to do was unstick the external handle which was preventing the tailgate from closing properly. To check whether there is a broken...

I have stupidly chewed the micro screw holding the key fob together by not taking enough initial care, I can't imagine finding a screw extractor small enough for that. Battery is still ok for the time being but any ideas?

You can buy all sorts of products nowadays, fuel tank sealer, repairer etc. Not used any myself and usually a proper repair/ replacement would be preferable.

As I mentioned in another thread make sure the tail gate handle isn't stuck.
