Consumer Description

THE DESIGN FLAW CAUSES THE HOOD TO MOVE EXCESSIVE DURING WINDY DAYS. IT'S MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE DURING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE HOOD FLEXES AND MOVES UP AND DOWN AS YOU DRIVE IN WINDY DAYS. DURING MY LIFE TIME I HAVE DRIVEN MY DIFFERENT VEHICLES INCLUDING VANS AND EVEN RV BUT NEVER SEEN A HOOD THAT MOVES THIS MUCH. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS OVER TIME AS METALS OR BOLTS COULD SIMPLY GIVE. THIS HOOD COULD ONE DAY FLY OFF AND HURT OR KILL SOMEONE.
