My company owns a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck, VIN # [xxx]. while driving at 50 mph the hood released, flew up and landed against the windshield. The hinges and windshield were broken. But for the grace of god my employee wasn't hurt. Chrysler isn't even interested in investigating what caused this as the truck is out of warranty. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
