Outback

  • 110,000 miles
We were driving on highway I-95 going between 55 and 60 miles an hour and the hood latch failed. The hood came up blocking our vision and broke the windshield. Extensive damage to car. We were traveling in the far right lane and were lucky that we could pull the car off the highway into the breakdown lane. We were very lucky no one was behind us.
