Crosstrek

  • 7,500 miles
I see this as a potential safety problem and not an immediate safety problem. It involves a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. On 3 different occasions, weeks or months apart, the hood has popped up 1 inch and has been stopped by the safety hook. I notice this only when I reach highway speeds and the front hood "flutters" up and down. There is no indication, from inside the car, that the hood has partially released at speeds under 50 mph. On none of these 3 occasions, has the hood release lever, near the drivers left leg, been activated, pulled or bumped. I've only intentionally opened the hood once or twice -- and the process seems normal. This hood release problem has never resulted in loss of forward vision or with the hood in a fully "up" position. The car is 7 months old with about 7,500 miles on it; so this is happening roughly every 2 months. I rarely drive on dirt or bumpy roads. It's impossible to know exactly when the hood release actually occurs without pulling upward on the hood regularly or driving at highway speeds. There has been no front end damage or trauma.
