| Description of the problem | First time it happened, on the way to work from home, driving on local street when the hood just popped up and slammed on the windshield. Obviously a latch defect but since then, i made sure the hood is properly latched. Second time it happened, driving with my family at 55 mph, when the hood suddenly popped up again and destroying the windshield. We are lucky there was no accident or crash with other vehicles. See attached receipt of windshield repair as proofs. |
