Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, THE HOOD LATCH ON MY 2006 SUBARU B9 TRIBECA FAILED, CAUSING THE HOOD TO FLY UP AND SHATTER THE WINDSHIELD. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOBODY NEAR ME AT THE TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF ONTO THE MEDIAN WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. WHEN I HAD IT REPAIRED, THE BODY SHOP INSTALLED AN ENTIRELY NEW DESIGN FOR THE HOOD LATCH SYSTEM. IF SUBARU ALTERED THE DESIGN OF THE HOOD LATCH FOR REPAIRS, THEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR EXISTING CARS. *TR
