Description of the problem	On friday 6/26/2020 while driving on the ma turnpike i-90 w, shortly before exit 20, the hood of my 2013 nissan altima flew all the way back crashing into the windshield and front portion of the roof. Luckily i was able to slow down and peek under the bottom portion of the hood to pull over to the side of the highway. My windshield was cracked, both side fenders were bent up/ slightly displaced, the roof was dented, inside the car the ceiling speaker/ sunglass console came crashing down and my hood was dented and having trouble staying shut. I managed to secure it down and drove slowly to exit 20. I immediately stopped at an auto shop near by and the owners first words were, "looking at your car, i can tell you this is exactly how people get killed in motor vehicle accidents". I am not surprised. Had i not been able to see or safely slow down, i may be dead. The shop owner showed how the sprained hinges allow the hood to go all the way back causing windshield damage mainly due to the secondary hood latch not functioning properly. He did spray some wd 40 on the latch to get it to function a little better; he stated that the vehicle was not safe and would not recommend driving it. The damage was estimated at $4000.
