Description of the problem	The hood release on these cars is down under the dash, where it can easily be pulled with the toe of your shoe. It has happened before, but my wife was outside of the car and heard it pop. This day, we were on our way home from church. Made it all the way onto the highway and reached 70 mph, speed limit on that highway is 75 mph. The hood flew up, damaging the windshield, roof, hood, fenders and hood hinges. This is very disturbing that the 2013's are being recalled when the design is the same from 2012 to 2014 that i am aware of. We have been warning other drivers of this danger. I have been driving for 30 years and have emergency vehicle to 18 wheeler training and experience. Not everyone will be so lucky.
