Thunderbird 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,169 miles
The hood of my car inadvertently comes opens. It does not come completely open because of the safety latch. I am very careful to make sure it is securely closed after I open it. I believe this can be very dangerous if the hood should come all the way up while I am driving.
