| Hood Latch problems |
Hood latch failed causing windshield to be badly damaged and a small crash.
My daughter was driving west on I-64 near evansville, in when the top half of the hood separated from the bottom and flew off of the car. Body shop and ins. Said that it was a defected hood, it looks as if the front section was never sealed properly. This could have been dangerous if the hood had not blown up and away from the car.
While driving the hood began to come up about 1 inch, the hood is bolted on but the bolts dont seem to keep it stable during high speed. Nlm.
Clutch and hood latch.
