Or in some cases never does. This creates an issue because the vehicle does not remote start due to the present check engine light.
Has significant hood movement at speeds over 50 mph.

My 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander hood vibrates during drives. The vibration starts when the car is moving around 35 - 40 mph or more. I confirmed that it was properly closed, but it concerns me because this repetitive movement may loosen the hood locking system during any future drive. This problem may cause a potentially fatal accident.
Hood raises and flutters at speeds greater than 60 miles per hour. It has been taken to the dealership to be fixed and the issue continues.
At 45mph and above the hood flutters violently.
