Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving the vehicle in heavy traffic, at the speed of 1-3 mph, then stopped at a stoplight, when the hood latch spontaneously disengaged, allowing the hood to pop open. There was seemingly no reason this should have happened. I was traveling on smooth pavement and didn’t hit a bump or anything else that would have jarred the hood latch. I was also nowhere near the hood release button, as both of my hands were on the steering wheel, and there was nothing else that could have accidentally triggered the button while the vehicle was in motion. …”
