Description of the problem	Getting on freeway i just left the entrance ramp increasing my speed im at around 45 50 mph. All of sudden with no warning whatsoever the hood just flies up and crushes my windshield. I slam on my brakes trying to see around the hood and coasted over to the brim of the road making sure i was safely off the road. I get out of the car and try to pull the hood back down .
