Hood latch doesn't line up and subsequently hood latch failed at 40 M.P.H. hood then immediately flew up, hitting front window, cracking it and blocking vision. Hood was destroyed, almost crashed into oncoming traffic, and it completely knocked sunroof off of it's tracks. After researching online, this is a common problem. The hood latches are defective from factory.
