I purchased this car used in October 2014. Ever since I had the car I notice that the hood starts vibrating as if it is going to open. I have pulled off to the side of the road several times to check that the hood is not open. I have contacted Acura headquarters and they have told me to go to the dealer. What I have notice is that the latch moves back and forth easily and the hood flexes when you open it and pull on it. I have seen several complaints about this and people go to the dealerships and we get told the same thing. Everything is normal. I have never seen a car hood vibrate the way this hood vibrates.

My car was parked on driveway and suddenly right passenger window glass broken by itself. Initially I thought some one smashed it but after looking at video surveillance system I found that it broke on it's own. I am glad that my 14 month old was not in car otherwise it's huge disaster. I uploaded video to youtube. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=MX2-wei_twe&feature=youtu.be.

At higher speeds the hood flutters up and down, even though the hood is latched down. The dealer said it was common and wanted to charge me to fix it...
