| 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. | |||

| My sister, mother and i were driving on the highway doing 65 mph when all of a sudden the hood slammed into the windshield. it sounded like a bomb exploded in the car. shards of glass rained down on the interior of the car. we were able to pull over to the shoulder. when we got out to check what happened, we noticed the entire safety latch mechanism was attached to the hood and was dangling there. it was not rusted. it simply detached. we could have been killed driving on the highway with a semi behind us. it was extremely traumatizing and i am mentally worn from this experience. | |||

| While driving our subaru tribeca b9 on the highway, the hood flew open and smashed the window. luckily we were able to steer the car to safety. no one was hurt, other than the emotional toll. a failure of the hood latch and safety mechanism. | |||
