| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 1 p.m. on 23 apr '06, my husband was driving our 1999 subaru legacy outback at about 50 mph. we had just entered a curve when the car's hood latch failed and allowed the hood to fly up and slam into the windshield and roof. that completely blocked our forward view and we entered the oncoming lane. fortunately, no one was coming in the opposite direction. we were able to slow down and make our way on to the shoulder. we were covered with glass particles but thank god neither one of us was injured. i am now very nervous when i drive the car. the hood was last opened about two weeks before the accident but the car had been driven for over 200 miles and some of that was on the interstate. there was no warning. we had to pay over $2300 to repair windshield, hood and miscellaneous damage in the motor compartment. *nm |
