| Description of the problem | My 2012 jeep hood latches do not hold down the hood firmly in high wind or when vehicles pass on highways. The hood will move upwards and bow and vibarte. This is very serious, the latches made of heavy rubber could brake and damage the windshield causing an accident. I went to the dealer in palestine, texas and the service manager tested my jeep and drove another new jeep and i was told they all do it and they do not have a repair for this problem. This needs immediate attention before an accident happens. |
