Consumer Description
WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 OR HIGHER, THE HOOD WILL FLEX UP AND DOWN LIKE IT IS NOT LOCKED. IT IS WORSE IN HIGH WINDS. NO VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN BEFORE HAS DONE THIS. THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT, I SLOWED DOWN AND GOT OFF THE FIRST EXIT I COULD. I DIDN'T POP THE HOOD BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS OPEN BY ITSELF. I COULDN'T OPEN IT AND IT SEEMED SEALED. I POPPED THE HOOD, CHECKED IT OVER AND SHUT IT. WHEN I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, IT CONTINUED TO FLEX UP. IT MADE ME SO NERVOUS. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS. IT HAS TO BE WEAKENING IT! EVENTUALLY, IT WILL LET GO AND FLY UP, POSSIBLY SMASH THE WINDSHIELD, IT COULD FLY BACK INTO A CAR BEHIND ME AND I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE PERSONAL INJURY THAT IT COULD CAUSE. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT. SO ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS DEAD? WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS POPPING UP WITH THIS VEHICLE, I AM STARTING TO THINK I MADE A MISTAKE. *TR
