IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS; WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, MY LEFT FOOT WILL ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE HOOD RELEASE CAUSING IT TO RELEASE; ALTHOUGH THE HOOD HAS NOT FLOWN OPEN TO OBSTRUCT MY VIEW, IT DOES FORCE ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO RE-SECURE THE HOOD. I FEEL THAT HOOD RELEASE SHOULD BE MOVED TO A BETTER LOCATION.

CONSUSMER IS HEARING A NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE. CONSUMER ASSUMES IT MAY BE THE TIE ROD. CONSUMER HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG. *AK THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOUNT, INSULATOR FOR FRONT SUSPENSION AND BEARING-SUSPENSION STRUT. *YH
