December 22, 2003, the hood of my 2003 honda crv flew up and broke the windshield, while i was crossing a bridge in very windy conditions.

I purchased my 2003 cr-v in april of 2003. In june i was on the highway with my kids in the car going 70mph when my hood flew up and hit the windshield. I called honda several times, and they said i have to turn it in to my insurance company, it is not their problem. It was late at night, and had that happened another mile down the road, we would have all been killed. The road had cement barriers and went down to…
