| Description of the problem | As i ramped on to a busy interstate, the front hood latch gave way. The hood flipped up smashing my windshield and blocking all front vision. I was able to get over to the shoulder without getting hit by another vehicle. I was going about 60 mph when the hood latch gave way. About two weeks ago, same thing: the front hood latch gave way, but that time i was going only about 25 mph as i slowed down on a secondary road to turn in to the subdivision where i live. No harm done to the windshield the first time. First time i assumed i had not properly shut down the hood. Second time, the hood latch and safety failed. |
