| Description of the problem | During high winds the hood was fluttering. On 11/23/2020, during high winds, on a state highway at about 65 mph, we passed a large truck and the driver's side hood latch sheered off in the wind. We replaced that latch and noticed the fluttering was reduced on the driver's side but not on the passenger side, so we replaced the passenger side as well. We had to obtain parts from two dealerships, as neither dealership had two parts. Both dealerships indicated this was a known problem and they have been unable to stock enough parts. |
