Consumer Description

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES OTHERS MENTIONED OF THE HOOD FLEXING WHEN DRIVING. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS WHEN DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND A SEMI GOES BY IN THE OTHER DIRECTION OR WHEN PASSING A SEMI ON THE INTERSTATE YOU CAN SEE THE MOVEMENT OF THE HOOD FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK AS THE AIR FLOWS UNDERNEATH. IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOOD LIFTS FROM LATCH AND THEN FLEXES, MOVES OR SHAKES AS AIR FLOWS GUESS THAT'S BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. ON THE INTERSTATE I HAVE EVEN NOTICED SHAKING/MOVEMENT WHEN DRIVING IF IT'S WINDY WITHOUT PASSING A SEMI. CAR WASH DRYER ALSO CAUSES THE HOOD TO SHAKE. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY TRIED ADJUSTING THE LATCH - THAT DIDN'T HELP. STOPPED BY ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID TO ADJUST THE RUBBER BUMPERS ON EACH SIDE UNDER HOOD BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP EITHER. IT'S PRETTY SCARY TO SEE THIS HAPPENING. WHAT IF THE LATCH DOESN'T HOLD ONE OF THESE TIMES? THE HOOD FLYING OFF GOING 65-75MPH IS NOT A PLEASANT THOUGHT. OVER TIME WILL THE FLEXING AND MOVEMENT AND THE HOOD CAUSE PAINT TO CRACK AND DECREASE INTEGRITY OF THE HOOD?
