LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
INOPERABLE SAFETY LATCH WAS INOPERABLE, AND HAS BEEN. HOOD FLEW OPEN TO 90 DEGREES, AND CAUSED LOSS OF ROAD VISION. I HAD JUST CHECKED FLUID LEVELS AND CLOSED HOOD AT HOME. I DROVE TO A LOCAL MARKET, AND WAS RETURNING ON A SURFACE STREET NEAR MY HOME, WHEN THE HOOD UNEXPECTEDLY OPENED. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PERFORM MY PERIODIC MAINTENANCE, AND I RELEASE THE HOOD, I CAN OPEN HOOD WITHOUT RELEASING THE SECONDARY LATCH. NOW I KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS, BUT LUCKILY I WASN'T INJURED. BUT, MY INSURANCE COMPANY MUST PICK UP THE TAB AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL POLICY HOLDERS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH
HEAD LIGHT SWITCH HEATS UP AFTER ONE HOUR OF OPERATION, THE DASH BOARD ABOVE THE LIGHT SWITCH BECOMES HOT TO THE TOUCH. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE LIGHTS ARE USED LONGER THAN I HAVE HAD TO USE THEM WILL THE SWITCH FAIL? THE DEALER HAS BEEN HELPFUL BUT THIS PROBLEM I BELIEVE IS BEYOND THE DEALER AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURE. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE SWITCH ONCE BUT THE NEW ONE ALSO HEATS UP. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT WHEN I START TOWING A TRAILER WITH MORE LIGHTS ON WILL THE SWITCH HEAT UP EVEN MORE AND CAUSE A FIRE.
