| Description of the problem | While driving home last night approx 35 mph my hood flew open and unlatched and impaired my windshield significantly and visibility driving was extremely impacted. As it was late in the evening there was no traffic directly in front or behind me. I was startled to say the least. I was able to safely negotiate to shoulder of road and engage hazard lights and resecure the hood. I was on a city street and moving straight and not turning the vehicle. I would hate to think a far worse outcome in heavy interstate traffic at a higher speed. |
