Consumer Description

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE HOOD WAS BOUNCING AND WHEN A SEMI TRUCK PASSED ME THE HOOD WOULD BOUNCE UP TO 1 INCH. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY ADJUSTED IT BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW, AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE HOOD LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OFF OF THE CAR AND PEOPLE PASSING ME ARE INDICATING THAT THE HOOD IS COMING OFF. RUDOLF HONDA SAID THAT IT IS UP TO SPEC. I AM BRINGING IT BACK TO THE DEALER SOON.
