## Narrative
The hydraulic hood lifting "hinges" did not hold the hood up.  When I raised the hood to fill the window washer container, the hood fell, unhindered, on my left wrist, as I was taking the cap off of the filling tube.  2 seconds later it could have been my head as I would have been over the washer reservoir opening.  The hand was very bruised, and the wrist was cut.  (really hurt)   Went to the dealer & he said this was the first Azera they had heard of with the problem but had seen several Sonatas with this problem.  I believe the hydraulic lifters are the same, so perhaps the problem affects both models.
