2007 Jeep WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2 Latches Locks Linkages Hood Latch Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	638084
Internal NHTSA #	10197742
Manufacurer	DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2
Model Year	2007
File date	16/07/07
Component	LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The hood of my jeep lifts up during the following conditions: 1) when driving at highway speeds on a windy day. 2) when driving over 50mph and a large vehicle, such as a truck, passes in the opposite direction. It appears that the 2 hood latches (one on each side) stretch enough to allow the hood to lift when there is sufficient air pressure generated from wind. The center hood latch has caught the hood during these occasions. I am concerned that the hood may come completely unlatched, then raise all the way up thus blocking my view - which may result in an accident.
