Description of the problem	On two occasions in the last six months my hood latch has released while driving on the highway at speeds of 65 to 70 mph. The first occasion was on november 14, 2018 and the second occasion was today friday march 29, 2019. On both occasions, the safety latch held but the hood vibrated up and down until i was able to come to a complete stop and push down on the hood to re-engage the primary latch. On both occasions i was surrounded by numerous vehicles going the same speed. I have significant concerns that the hood may open completely while i am driving down the highway creating an accident and or injuries. I have checked the mechanism and there are no obstacles. Additionally, the time between the first disengagement and the second was more than four months and the vehicle had not been in for any services that would require the hood being opened. I have seen that other subaru models have been recalled for this same issue and believe this needs to be thoroughly investigated. A review of the web shows numerous complaints. I purchased this vehicle new and did not have any problems prior to these two occasions.
