Ok I had just gotten my Dodge Ram 2001 and I didn't expect any problems but sure enough I was driving down a highway doing about 60 mph and my hood release failed and the hood flew up and hit my windshield... I had no visibility at all

problem #1

Ram 1500 New England Lim V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 66,200 miles

I was driving down a hill in the city going 30 mph when the hood flew open. I lost all visibility, luckily there were no vehicles coming the opposite direction or god forbid a child on a bike. There is extensive damage to my hood and a line across my windshield where the hood hit it. Dodge had a recall on 1994-1999 dodge rams but not 2001 which is the make of mine. So they have not given me any assistance with the damages at this point.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
