problem #2

Golf 4-cyl

While I was driving on I-35 in Kansas at about 60 mph on December 13, 3007 at approximately 10:30 pm, the latch to my vehicle released without warning and caused the hood of my vehicle to fly up impairing my view. I was able to pull over to the shoulder of the highway and called the Kansas highway patrol. The highway patrol officer pushed down on the hood but was unable get the hood to latch. Due to the failure of the hood latch my hood has been damaged. I checked your website for complaints for the same year, make, and model and discovered this defect had happened previously to the same vehicle.
