| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Aprrox. 3 months ago i was driving down a highway at about 65 miles an hour when my hood popped up and hit the windshield. the windshield was cracked in many places and the hood was bent and paint chipped. i contacted subaru the following day because my hood had not been opened for approx 2mths prior this and was concerned of a defect in part. they told me there was none and sometimes it just happens. i paid for a new windshield (i beleive about 235) and have yet to replace hood. today i was informed by a technician that replaces windshields (contact was unrelated to my car) that he replaces more windshields on subarus than any other car because the first hood latch fails and the second lets go when high way speed is reached. i believe this is a part malfunction that poses a serious threat to drivers and should be investigated. if i have contacted the wrong department or company please direct me in right direction. i am unsure but could find out of the exact incident date. |
