Description of the problem	While traveling at 65 mph on a multi-lane highway, the hood flew open, shattered the windshield and lodged open, completely blocking my vision. I was able the slow down and pull into the left breakdown lane. Had this happened two minutes earlier or later i would not have had the left lane option. Two minutes earlier there was a left lane merge and two minutes later was a ramp with no breakdown lane. I understand this problem has been reported by others with this make, model and year. Apparently the plastic clips holding the hoods are failing. These cars need to be pulled off the road asap before someone gets hurt.
