| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving along kings highway at about 35 mph and the hood suddenly flew up. the hood slammed back down as i came to a stop thus trapping the hood struts outside the hood on either side damaging the hood and both fenders. july 3 i called the local dodge dealer landers dodge and reported the problem to them. i also inquired about towing and they said they use smiths towing. i called smiths towing and they told me that the hood was going to fly up no matter if it was on a rollback or not and suggested that i save the wrecker fee and drive it. i drove the car from my home to fern ave which is about 3 miles upon driving on fern ave the hood flew up again causing even more damage. i again secured the hood and drove to the dealership at 10 mph with my emergency flashers on. i left the vehicle at the dealership for their inspection as their chrysler rep would not be there until wednesday. on wednesday the dealership called me and said it is not a covered defect and that i would have to file with my insurance company. there is a tsb on this issue number 2302004 but yet they say they are not responsible. i need some sort of effective recourse on this as at this point i have none. *jb |
