“This is very serious and dangerous after adding oil to the engine of this vehicle yesterday I made sure the hood was securly latched ( because it has come open on me previously while in motion ) I pulled up on the hood and it would not open. I left the gas station and got on the interstate. While in the fast lane doing approxamatly 70 MPH the hood came completely open bent back and smashed the front windshield. I was totaly blinded by it. I was luky to get the car stoped with out getting killed in the process. I would like this checked out to see if it is a default. …”
