(reported on)

Town Car 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles
Without any indication, the hood popped up while driving. Upon replacement of the hood latch assembly, the problem appeared to be corrected, but the failure recurred. The vehicle had its second latch replacement. The consumer feels it a bad latch design because of the consistent problems.
