Description of the problem | While driving down the interstate at about 70 mph my hood flew up and crashed into my windshield. After investigating why... The rivets pulled out of the hood allowing it to release. Took it to the dealership and were no help at all. Turned it in to my insurance company for repairs. This is really hard to swallow when its not your fault and could have been worse. I almost crashed! *nm |
