Hood Latch Problems of GMC Yukon

While driving down the interstate at about 70 mph my hood flew up and crashed into my windshield. After investigating why. . . The rivets pulled out of the hood allowing it to release. Took it to the dealership and were no help at all. Turned it in to my insurance company for repairs. This is really hard to swallow when its not your fault and could have been worse. I almost crashed!.

I rented a 2005 GMC Yukon from enterprise at the san luis obispo, CA. Airport location. While driving home on highway 101 northbound over cuesta grade on the decent of the north side of the grade the hood popped open, fortunately the additional latch caught the hood thus preventing the hood from flying back and smashing the windshield. Thankfully there was no traffic at that moment and I was able to pull to the side of the highway and secure the hood. I determined that the hood release lever located near the floor board on the left side of the drivers area has very little resistance and is far to easy to release. I had been listening to the radio, tapping my left foot around and without knowing it I had caught the hood release with my foot and popped the hood open. I feel that an after market repair could be made by creating a attachable flap style door that would cover the release latch until it was actually needed. I allerted the rental agency of the defect and advised them not to rent that vehicle out until a correction to that defect had been completed. I asked that they pass this information on to the company and that they let GMC know as well. Thank you, hily greene.
