Description of the problem	I was driving down the highway when suddenly the entire safety mechanism that holds the hood down detached and sent the hood slamming and smashing into my windshield. I was blinded instantly and there were semi trucks all around me. I was able to pull over to the shoulder safely. Glass was everywhere and my rear view mirror was smashed out and went flying at me while i was driving as well. I found three other reports online from three different drivers with the exact same thing happening to them. All i did was google subaru 2006 tribeca. Subaru basically told me it is none of their concern and too bad. They refused to send out one of their reps to confirm what i was saying. My insurance appraiser as well as a body shop confirmed this was more than likely the cause of this incident. The safety latch was plastic and obviously not meant for safety. My mother and sister were in the car with me and it is a miracle no one was hurt or killed. I am beside myself at the way subaru has treated me. I have also filed a complaint with the attorney general's office. This is a disgrace.
