New 2016 Toyota Tacoma Off Road model. The hood vibrates excessively, at any speed. Higher speeds= higher vibration. It is clear that the underside of the hood has a bracing frame, and you can clearly see that whatever adhesive was used to secure the bracing to the hood has failed, resulting in over 50% of the attachment 'points' failing. Took it to the dealership and they said "This is normal".
I've owned over 20 vehicles in my life, none of those had 'vibrating hoods' as standard equipment. The quality control for Toyota has certainly fallen a long, long way. They won't even fix an obvious defect in their manufacturing process.

The hood is assembled with faulty adheasive. The hood sheetmetal is not attached to the hood frame which causes it to vibrate while driving at highway speeds of going over bumps. There's no way that the paint won't fail at some point. I actually had a tech tell me that "that's how it's suppose to be".
