5.0 Ultimate hood flapping

[forzza1]

Hi All
I have been trying to close a blind eye on this issue right from the beginning hoping it will eventually grow on my but to no avail.
The trailing edge of the hood is flapping noticeably at the speeds over 45 mph and this flapping can be felt sometimes in form of vibration through the cabin.
Really annoying. SA, shop foreman and technicians said this is normal.
I doubt it very much.
Anyone experiencing this problem?
Thanks

No this is not normal. I've had my car above 100 with no flap. Note I had this problem on my 1997 Maxima after I had a fender bender.

definitely not normal. I have had the car up to 135 and did not notice any such issue.

I have read on this forum of others having same issue. But I have not notice it at all on my G2 5.0

Mine is a 3.8 AWD. No flapping, and I'd guess they use the same hood.

I have this problem also in my 3.8. Car came from Korea in 06.2014 and I have now almost 87000 miles. But I don't feel any vibrations.

The Genesis has an active hood system for pedestrian protection that lifts the rear of the hood (by the windshield) during a collision with a person. Maybe something is loose or defective with that system on your car.

See near the bottom of the safety section of this website:

Wow you might be the current mileage champion for the 2nd gen.

my hood has a slight bit of flutter at highway speeds at the base of the windshield...especially driving into headwinds. i've gotten so used to it though that i rarely ever notice it anymore.
