Owner Complaints (2)
Your hood rattles while driving, and the dealer found that the rubber hood bumpers are too short to properly secure it. The hood latch appears secure but cannot be adjusted further, and the dealer won't address the noise after 12 months or 12,000 miles. You're concerned the hood may not be properly secured due to this defective design.

The hood on my car seems to be loose as it rattles when closed and driving. It does appear to be latched, however I'm concerned that the hood will come loose and blow up in front of the windshield while driving causing a life threatening accident. The hood bumpers on the inside of the hood are not adjustable, and/or long enough to cushion the hood to stop the rattling either.
