Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY HOOD FLEW UP AND SHATTERED MY WINDSHIELD. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM HAD SCREWS MISSING AND ONE SCREW VERY LOOSE LEFT IN PLACE. THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM FREELY MOVED AROUND WHICH IS APPARENTLY HOW THE HOOD BECAME UNLATCHED AND BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 50MPH ON THE MARQUETTE INTERCHANGE THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ONCE THE HOOD WAS UP AND HAD TO BRAKE IMMEDIATELY TO KEEP FROM CRASHING INTO ANYTHING POSSIBLY IN FRONT OF ME. THIS ALSO COULD HAVE CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE TO CRASH INTO ME. I ALSO COULDN'T SEE DUE TO THE HOOD. I HAD TO USE MY SIDE WINDOW AND MIRRORS TO MANEUVER MYSELF TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, TIE THE HOOD DOWN WITH A CORD. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? HOW DO SCREWS LOOSEN ON THE LATCH TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE?
