Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY HOOD FLEW OPEN AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD VERY HARD. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE DUE TO HOOD FLYING UP AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. IT DAMAGED MY SIDE FENDERS DUE TO IMPACT. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20MPH ON A SIDE ROAD IN GAHANNA OH. IT HAPPENED ON 12/28/2020. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF OPEN RECALLS VIA MAIL NOR EMAIL. I AM HIGHLY UPSET AT THE FACT IT COULD HAVE HARMED ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
