Description of the problem | At speeds above 60 mph the sheet metal on the hood begins to ripple, flutter, and distort. This problem is well known by chevrolet. The dealer has applied expanding foam inside the hood under warranty, but the metal continues to distort and ripple at highway speed. I am afraid the hood sheet metal will fail and the hood will come off the vehicle while driving. Chevrolet refuses to do anything further about it. |
