| For the past month, i was unable to get my hood to open to get an oil change. i decided to take my car to vavoline to see if the mechanics there could open the hood. they were also unable to open the hood. they told me i would have to take it to a body shop, or the dealership. later that evening while driving down the expressway at 70 mph, my hood flew open. i was unable to see in front of me. no one was injured and i was able to safely get my car to the side of the road. very disturbed by this incident, i researched and discovered that dodge rams had a recall for corrosion of the return spring on the hood secondary latch that could cause the mechanism to bind in the release position and the hood could open unexpectedly. i have also contacted daimler chrylser regarding the incident. dt | |||
