Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving, the hood of my vehicle flew up and broke my windshield and caused damage to body by the hood hinge on both sides. There were no warning lamps or signals that warned me that the hood was loose. I had limited visual to pull over and close the hood. Fortunately I was going slow and there were not other vehicles that were impacted. Because the hood is opened inside with the double pull mechanism it is too easy to open the hood without the secondary safety hook outside like most vehicles have. …”
NHTSA complaint #11743429, filed 2026-06“Several spots on the body are misaligned which could indicate underlying assembly issues down to the frame which could impact crumple zones and safety.”
