Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The vehicle's hood shocks do not support the hood's weight. i have had the hood crash down several times, including once on my hand causing injury. other owners of plymouth/chrysler prowlers have reported changing the hood shocks several times with no solution. several owners have also reported being hit on the head while looking under the hood, having injured their wrists and fingers from hoods crashing down. this is a defective design which results in a dangerous condition that the vehicle manufacturer refuses to acknowledge and remedy voluntarily.
