I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden my hood flew up onto my windshield. It was very frightening... I don't understand how this can happen when the hood is latched shut.

I tried to release the hood by way of pulling the interior latch, it did not open. I called the dealership they told me to bring it in the next day. I got out of the car and pressed on it (to be sure it was closed) and drove away from the gas station. I was driving 30 miles per hour when the hood let go and hyperextended and flew up in front of me and i was unable to see anything.

Wheels on this sedan are at recommended psi 35-40 yet going at 55-75 speeds it feels as if i'm riding a horse with different types of measures on each side.…

Frequently the vehicle scrapes at parking barriers and curbs. In no way can it be driven on a pasture road of ruts and center ridged elevations, both for "high centering" and catching plant life on fire due to dragging the vehicle bottom on the…
