I read in the paper you were investigating hoods opening on 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokees. My Jeep hood came open while I was driving down I-65 in alabama approximately at the date listed in the questionaire. That date is an estimate. I was driving at about 65 mph when the hood popped up, partially obscuring my vision. I was near an exit, so I managed to safely get off the road and stop and re-latch the hood.

I can not confirm or deny that I improperly closed the hood before this incident I just don't remember. Dt.
