| Description of the problem | Gas/hydraulic struts will not hold hood open - i raised hood to clean around it and it came back down on my hands. Fortunately , i was fast enough to pick them up to "almost" catch the hood and not do any significant damage to them. But still - car is only 3 years old and had less than 20,000 miles! |
