2001 Hyundai Sonata Owner Comments

I was driving on hwy 60, towards lexington va. This is a narrow four lane, divided by a grassy median, there are very few places to pull over. As I was driving uphill, at about 55 mph, my hood flew up and smashed against the windshield, and wrapped around the roof of the car. I was passing a log truck when this happened, and there wasn't anywhere to pull over, so I drove looking through the curve under the hood, and used all of my mirrors until I could get to a safe place to pull over. My 13 yr. Old son was in the passenger side, and we were both completely in shock. The damage to my car, approximately $4000. The other complaint I have is I had to wait 8 weeks for Hyundai to get a hood for my cars, make, model and year. They said, the hoods were on back order and they didn't know when thy would be able to get my hood. I had to pay for the damage with my insurance, I think Hyundai should pay for all of the expenses, that everyone incurred from this defect. Not just the rise in insurance premiums, but also, the rental cars.
