| Description of the problem | The hood suddenly flew up, hitting the windshield. Fortunately the windshield did not break, but there is damage on both sides of the car where the hood bent the body. A couple of months ago i had multiple incidents of the initial hood latch coming loose, so i noted the car sitting in the parking area with the hood only on the 1st latch. |
