HOOD LATCH FAILURE. HOOD POPPED OPEN AND SMASHED THE ROOF ON MY TRUCK. FIRST DAIMLER CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE (WHICH I DIDN'T) AND ALSO THE PLACE THAT I HAD THE RECALL FIXED TO BEGIN WITH WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS HOOD LATCH REPLACED ONCE ALREADY IN JUNE 2001 ( OR SO I THOUGHT) WHEN THE HOOD BLEW OPEN THE FIRST TIME.*AK

Owner report 751267 · 2001-08-28 (August 28, 2001)
THE FUEL FILTER CLOGS BUT THERE IS A SHORT BYPASS HOSE TO THE MIDDLE LEVEL OF THE TANK, WHEN THE FILTER CLOGS THE SYSTEM RECEIVES UNFILTERED THROUGH THE BYPASS HOSE, WHEN THE LEVEL GOES BELOW 1/2 TANK. THE PUMP SUCKS AIR AND THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN FOR LACK OF FUEL. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND NOT A CRITICAL SAFETY PROBLEM BUT IT DOES AFFECT SAFETY TO AN EXTENT. I.E. YOU THINK YOU HAVE A HALF TANK OF GAS. BUT IT MAY STOP AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. O IN HEAVY TRAFFIC LOR ON THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS.
