This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Pulled on to highway from driveway proceed about 1 block when the hood flew voilently open. There were no cars in front of me and a truck and 2 autos behind me I got the Jeep to the side of the road and stopped. The safety latch and the regular latch failed. I am being told it is not a problem and therefore the manufacter is not going to take any responisiblity for the $1067 body shop estimate or my frayed nerves. I found two or 3 other hood problems listed on your website but can tell if they are similar. Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem. I am left with the feeling from the Jeep people that I did something wrong and they don't care to help. The safety latch never caught or at least it didn't hold, and there was not evidence of damage to either latch.
