| Description of the problem | Hood lach broken and disengages automatically without being opened by car operator. Can open while the car is stationary or operating. The manufacturer sent me a recall notice to say the remedy would not be available until mid 2021. I think this is unacceptable given the hood may fly open while driving at high speeds and the driver is unable to see out of the front window. I am writing because this situation presents a ptential emergency. |
