“While driving 40mph the hood flew open and smashed into the windshield, blocked my view while driving & nearly caused a fatal crash. This is the second time this has happened though the first time, it stayed latched just enough that the hood just vibrated & rattled giving me enough time to pull over on the highway, open it & slam it shut again. I'm now terrified to drive the car for fear it will happen again and cause serious injuries or a fatality. Chrysler should be forced to recall all their vehicles and replace the hood latch. …”
NHTSA complaint #11165592, filed 2019-01, 127,500 miles“Condensation outside on windshield - necessary to get off highway and stop because could not see - defrost system inadequate - happened 3/4 times in a couple week period.
