1 Hood Latch problem

Failure Date: 11/03/1999

The day I picked up the car the hood was up and salesman said they checked under hood and everything was ok and shut it. I drove directly to my insurance adgent to update my policy and it was up again. I called dealer and he said to bring car in. He could find nothing wrong. I was driving on interstate several times when other cars waved me over as the hood was up and I had to pull into rest areas to put it down. I have complained each time I had service and they can't find anything wrong. They said they replaced the latch but it still happens. I am afraid if that little plastic catch gives way the hood will fly all the way up and I will have an accident. I am upset as I feel this is not a small matter but a safety hazard.
