What owners wrote

Nissan had a hood release issue which resulted in a recall. My hood popped up and resulted in scratches to both sides of my car. I reported it to nissan and they will not cover it. I went to russ darrow nissan milwaukee to fix, however it was not done correctly. I went amato nissan to have the hood repaired again after the hood piped up again.

I am unable to close the hood of my car completely. The hood latch is loose at all times and I am unable to use the "open hood" button on the interior. I never received a recall notice from nissan. However, when I took my car in for it's first service appointment at edison nissan dealership (04/21/2015), the service technician reported that the recall was addressed and serviced. Today on 08/10/2015, the hood popped open and I am unable to close it.
