Consumer Description
WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 15 AND ABOUT 45 MINUTES INTO MY TRIP TO TAKE MY COUSINS BACK TO THE AIRPORT IN SALT LAKE CITY FROM IDAHO FALLS THE HOOD OF THE CAR JUST FLEW UP AND SMASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CARE WAS UN-DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. ULTIMATELY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE WEEKEND AFTER I WAS BACK IN COLORADO MY BROTHER AND I SAW ANOTHER SUBARU BUT DIFFERENT MODEL THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE SAME THING HAPPENED. HAVE PICTURES OF THAT AS WELL.
