Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. AN 18 WHEELER PASSED ME GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE RESULTING BLAST OF WIND FORCED MY HOOD OPEN WHICH SLAMMED BACK INTO MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING A SERIOUS INCIDENT. THE LEFT RUBBER STRAP BROKE IN HALF. THE CENTER LATCH FAILED TO SECURE THE HOOD. THE RIGHT STRAP BROKE WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE JEEP FENDER. *DT *BF*JB
