I LEFT WORK FROM DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH AT 4:15 PM, AND WHILE CROSSING OUTBOUND ON THE VETRANS BRIDGE, MY JEEP TURNED ITSELF OFF. THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY TOUGH, AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE JEEP, TURNED IT BACK ON, AND THANKFULLY IT STARTED AGAIN. IF TRAFFIC WAS MOVING FASTER, LIKE IT USUALLY DOES, I WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK. *TR
2014
STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
PURCHASED A NEW 2014 JEEP COMPASS, AND 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING ON MY WAY HOME I SET CRUISE CONTROL AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. WHEN I MOVED MY LEFT FOOT CLOSER TO MY SEAT, MY SHOE TRIGGERED THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH. THE HOOD POPPED UP A FEW INCHES, AND IF THE UNDER HOOD SAFETY WASN'T THERE THE HOOD COULD HAVE OPENED COMPLETELY. SAME THING HAPPENED 4-5 DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE WAY THE LATCH PROTRUDES NEAR THE PEDALS IS THE CAUSE FOR THE MULTIPLE TIMES I'VE ACCIDENTALLY TRIGGERED THE HOOD RELEASE. *TR
