Hood flutter above 65 MPH

[mgraced]

I just picked up my Bronco and I am having this issue. It's beyond annoying.

Adjusted my stop today. Now for highway drive.

Mine does this around 70+mph, not really concerned with it.

New hood finally came in to my dealer so I’ll be dropping it off Monday morning for replacement. I’ll update this thread once I have it back.

Just run it and enjoy it, you’re under warranty and you’ll have other crap that needs to be fixed. The hood will be the least of your worries. Mine flutters still, waiting to get in for failed axles to get it all fixed at once.

Just sent message. Included a few videos, hopefully the compression won't make it impossible to see.

I just noticed some movement in my hood at 75-80mph last Friday. Was going to search the forum and this was already trending this AM. Will need to get some video of it.

So I picked up my Badlands on July 1st and I pulled over a mile from the dealership because i thought the hood wasn't latched. It was securely latched but anything over 45 and the hood starts to flutter right in the middle by the bump in the hood. It increases with speed and trips you out when driving down the highway and passing large vehicles and the air pressure changes around you. I have the high package so the inside of my hood is covered in the sound deadening material. Hopefully see a TSB at some point.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

I thought the flutter was normal! At OP that is getting new hood. Let us know if it’s any better. Thanks!

I’ll keep everybody posted. The service guy I’ve been working with said the new hood looks much better so there’s some hope. They put me in a cyber orange bronco sport for the week and needless to say I miss my big bronco already.

Mine does it at 55 mph.

I feel like mine is getting worse. It’s more the bouncing up and down that concerns me as I feel it is going to wear down.
I’m going to the dealer tomorrow but @Ford Motor Company has also been in touch.

Attached video from my lunch run yesterday. My Bronco has about 500 miles on it. Picked it up last Thurs.

That is 100% your hood stops. Turn them out, counter clockwise until they engage with the hood. A good way to test how well they are hitting is to put a dab of lotion or soap on top of them and close the hood. Then open it and see how much was displaced.
