Consumer Description

MY SISTER, MOTHER AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HOOD SLAMMED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB EXPLODED IN THE CAR. SHARDS OF GLASS RAINED DOWN ON THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN WE GOT OUT TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED, WE NOTICED THE ENTIRE SAFETY LATCH MECHANISM WAS ATTACHED TO THE HOOD AND WAS DANGLING THERE. IT WAS NOT RUSTED. IT SIMPLY DETACHED. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI BEHIND US. IT WAS EXTREMELY TRAUMATIZING AND I AM MENTALLY WORN FROM THIS EXPERIENCE. *TR
