“2002 Dodge ram hood flew open when driving at 55 MPH. Hood had been open and closed before departure and was secure. Hood and surrounding area sustained over $1,000 worth of damage. Thankfully driver was able to bring truck to a stop safely. Very frightening event. Auto body dealer indicates this is a frequent event with Dodge rams.”
