Hood Problems of Subaru Tribeca

First time it happened, on the way to work from home, driving on local street when the hood just popped up and slammed on the windshield. Obviously a latch defect but since then, I made sure the hood is properly latched. Second time it happened, driving with my family at 55 mph, when the hood suddenly popped up again and destroying the windshield. We are lucky there was no accident or crash with other vehicles. See attached receipt of windshield repair as proofs.

While driving our Subaru Tribeca b9 on the highway, the hood flew open and smashed the window. Luckily we were able to steer the car to safety. No one was hurt, other than the emotional toll. A failure of the hood latch and safety mechanism.

The contact owns a 2006 Subaru b9 Tribeca. The contact was driving 70 mph when suddenly, the front hood unlatched and struck the windshield, impairing the contacts vision of the roadway. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local body shop where he was awaiting repairs. The contact called the manufacturer and the manufacturer stated there were no recalls regarding the hood therefore, they would be unable to assist. The contact was concerned that if he were driving in heavy traffic when the failure occurred, that he could have potentially been involved in a crash. The failure mileage was 100,000.
