Grand Cherokee

I was on my way to work driving about 70mph on the freeway. After a couple of minutes my hood opened up on its own and slammed against my windshield which caused my windshield to shatter. I was nearly in multiple wrecks while on the freeway because 90 to 95% of my windshield was covered by the hood of my car. This was by far the scariest thing that I have ever faced. I nearly lost my life on the freeway. I am not able to drive my Jeep at the moment and honestly prefer not to drive it anymore. I strongly feel like something should be done about this. No one should ever have to go through this.

Just disgusted with the number of repairs I have needed to make to this vehicle. In the last six years the following repairs have been done: Brakes replaced 3 times and need to be done again door window motor cooling fan, radiator evaporator coils hood lifters-hood will not stay up drivers door clunks starter compressor leaking axle seals and now I have a cracked head on the engine. The Jeep just failed out of the blue. Glad I was close to home. This vehicle is a lemon. Buy american again--most likely not. Are our "american" vehicles being built with inferior parts" or are they programmed to be obsolete within a few years"
