Q: My vehicle wasn't in accident. Rather a fluid spilled at the back of my cargo. since then the hood doesn't open automatically.

asked by on October 17, 2017

The Hood doesn't open anymore due to a fluid (Roundup) leaked from the container. So it won't open automatically any longer. I took it to the dealer who fixed it temporarily and a month later I am back to the same problem. I am seeking your advice as I am not interested in going to the Infinity Dealer.

My car has 105000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
