Lifted the hood of the truck and the supports failed. The hood almost came down on my head.

problem #1

Explorer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

I had opened my hood to check the fluid levels and the two gas supports that hold it up failed and the hood almost hit me in the head. Had I not been paying attention it would have came down on my head and caused serious injury.
