Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES MY HOOD OPENED UP ON ITS OWN AND SLAMMED AGAINST MY WINDSHIELD WHICH CAUSED MY WINDSHIELD TO SHATTER. I WAS NEARLY IN MULTIPLE WRECKS WHILE ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE 90 TO 95% OF MY WINDSHIELD WAS COVERED BY THE HOOD OF MY CAR. THIS WAS BY FAR THE SCARIEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER FACED. I NEARLY LOST MY LIFE ON THE FREEWAY. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY JEEP AT THE MOMENT AND HONESTLY PREFER NOT TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I STRONGLY FEEL LIKE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. *TR
