Latches/locks/linkage problem #1

Driving down road and hood flew open on my 2001 Dodge 2500. Hood and latches bent back obstructing view completely. Traffic was light on a usually busy road which prevented further problems.

Latches/locks/linkage problem #2

The contact owns a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. While driving at an unknown speed, the hood latch failed. As a result, the hood flew backwards and nearly shattered the windshield.
