Consumer Description

I HAD JUST CHECKED THE OIL AND WHAT TYPE OF OIL TO BUY FOR THE CAR, AND EN ROUTE AT A SPEED OF 55, THE HOOD FLEW UP WHILE ACCELERATING TO THE POSTED LIMIT - SHATTERING THE SUNROOF, CRACKING THE WINDSHIELD, WARPING THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT QUARTER PANELS NEAR THE WINDSHIELD, AND DENTING THE HOOD AND ROOF. IT ALSO DISLODGED THE SUNROOF MOTOR AND PULLED PART OF THE ROOF LIGHTING CONSOLE WIRING HARNESS APART. I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF A RECALL BY NISSAN IN EITHER OF THE TWO CAMPAIGNS ON THE HOOD LATCH ISSUE - ONLY BY THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR AFTER MY CLAIM.
