Consumer Description

HOOD FLUTTER. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEEDS, IF WINDS ARE HIGH OR PASSING AN ONCOMING LARGE TRUCK, THE HOOD WILL FLUTTER DUE TO THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM THE WEAK RUBBER LATCHES THAT SECURE THE HOOD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. RESEARCH CLEARLY INDICATES THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IN SOME REPORTS I HAVE READ, THE LATCHES CAN BREAK AND CAUSE MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER IN HARMS WAY.
