| Description of the problem | The incident happened at around midnight. The hood popped open while the vehicle was being driven. Fortunately ,there were no vehicles in the front or rear. This scared the hell out of us. We checked the internet to see if any similar incidents were reported. We found that 238,000 nissa altima 2013 were being recalled because of this problem. We brought the matter to the dealer,s attention as well as to the attention of the manufacturer. We have been told tha the vin of our vehicle is not part of the recall. Nissan has refused to repair the vehicle. The hood is damaged on both sides near the windshield because it slammed into windshield when it popped open. We are demanding justice and repair of our vehicle and a safety check. *js |
