 Description of the problemI have a serious vibration problem with the hood on my 2014 pathfinder - the problem occurs at about 55 mph - the front side of the hood shakes during normal driving and becomes violent when a semi is coming towards me on a 2 lane rd - nissan has had 2 engineers look at this car and they have also installed larger weatherstrips on the frt side of the hood - these strips have tamed the vibration down however the vibration is enough to cause cups in the cup holder to rattle. Being an insurance adjuster for over 20 years i understand the reasons manufacturers use aluminum hoods however safety should not be reduced for fuel economy - per glen nakagawa with nissan they have designed a new hood for 2015 to hopefully correct the problem for most owners - my problem is not just with vibration on the front side of the hood but with the hood lifting above the fenders at the hinges when a semi approaches me - the stress that is being placed on steel hinges attached to an aluminum hood is incredible and i feel that it is a matter of time until one or the other fails potentially causing a fatal accident - i should not be in fear while driving a brand new 46000 dollar vehicle - nissan is going through the motions and has stated they may purchase the vehicle back, however now they are completely ignoring all phone calls and emails - having researched this issue on line and hearing nissans own words it is obvious that something needs to be done.
