I had a faulty secondary hood safety latch. My hood came up and flew off while I was driving at 45 miles per hour. The safety latch did not catch like it should have. I have since had it repaired which cost about $8,000.

This is a company car and I sometimes work from the back seat during my travel to clients as it's large and comfortable. I recently had occasion to meet with a client during inclement weather so we were in the rear of my car for about 30 minutes.
