MY HOOD FLEW UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND IT IS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING AHEAD OF ME I SLOWED DOWN AND THIS OCCURED. I HAD TWO PASSENGERS THAT WERE TOTALLY STARTLED BUT LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HOOD LATCH UNTIL I HAPPENED UPON THIS WEB SITE. THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING THE INTEREST OF THE CONSUMER. FINALLY I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND WINDSHIELD. I JUST LAST WEEK HAD A COMPANY COME OUT AND REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FOR ABOUT $135.00 I DO NOT HAVE ANY ESTIMATES FOR THE HOOD YET.
