Both the primary and secondary hood latches failed while driving down the highway at 60 MPH. The hood flew open causing damage to the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by the mentor nissan dealership who inspected the hood latches and indicated that the latches where bound up and the condition occurred through no fault of the vehicle owner and the condition was a major safety issue. Nissan consumer affairs would not authorize any repairs because there was no recall for this problem on the versa, however there is a recall on the altima for the same issue. The binding of the hood latch on my nissan versa is the same condition that occurred on the altima. The coating applied to the hood latch by the latch manufacturer causes it to bind over time and not latch properly.
