Another hood flying up. This time on a Chevy dealer salesperson on his way to deliver a C8.
" I am reading this article because this happened to me yesterday at a speed under 30 miles per hour, without any warning signals until the front "frunk" lid was straight up in front of my face with only 3 miles on the car odometer. I was on the way to the customers house after fueling the vehicle for delivery. I was convinced one of the lot kids didn’t shut it all the way, but pics taken minutes before I drove it to get fuel for the customer show the lid shut flush. It did not pop open on me on the way to the gas station, but pulling out after fueling. I had both key fobs in the cupholder as well, so it wasn’t accidentally “double clicked” to open. The only item in the front truck was the window sticker. I had to remove the hood 1 mile from the dealership to drive it back and then got hinges overnight from Cincy to get the vehicle delivered this morning. The customer knows about it and when I drove the car to his house this morning I didn’t want to drive over 20 mph and I didn’t have to as the customer lives in a subdivision behind the dealership. There was not a warning for open hood until it was fully up in front of my face and I was able to see under it until parked safely off the roadway. 32 years of selling Chevy’s at my store so I am not entirely an idiot…lol "
