Consumer Description

While driving on a highway at 70 mph the hood unlocked and was caught by the safety latch. It is available for inspection. My safety was at extreme risk. Loosing the ability to see out of my windshield had the safety latch failed could have been catastrophic. This could have caused a crash at highway speeds from the sudden inability to see where I was driving. The problem has not been reproduced but should be confirmed by the trucks data system. A hood unsafe message appeared on my dash screen. The latch has not been inspected yet as this happened last night. There was no prior indication or warning that the hood would come unlocked.
