Consumer Description

FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE HOOD LATCH OPENS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS NOTICED ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IT CAN UNLATCH ON A SECONDARY ROAD, MOST RECENTLY IT WAS NOTICED BY A NEIGHBOR AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE SAFETY CATCH ALWAYS CATCHES IT SO IT HASN'T BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM YET, BUT I DON'T LIKE PULLING OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THE SAFETY CATCH PREVENTS THIS FROM BEING A MAJOR PROBLEM, BUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR SOMEONE WHOSE SAFETY LATCH DID NOT HOLD. *TR
