| Description of the problem | While going around 55mph on the hwy 55, hood just popped without any warning, hitting the windshield and roof. This caused major body damage to both fenders, hood and roof. Before driving the car, i always walk around it to check tire inflated ok, hood/trunk/door close/latched. This happened oct17. Went to the nissan dealership and also called nissan customer service monday oct 19. Customer service said this damage would be covered by their hood latch recall that i was not aware of. It's been 2 week and still waiting for warranty claims to approve fix. Hood is vibrating when i go over 55mph and so afraid this nightmare might happen again. |
