I was driving at 65 Miles and I felt something wrong was happening, the hood was totally opened while I was driving .its was a windy day and I thought was the wind . I stopped and I closed it very well but the fallowing week I had the same issue with my car.
The hood shakes, flutters, bounces, in the wind. It is very unnerving thinking hood will detach and fly up and hit windshield while driving. Took the ridgeline to Honda of Ames Iowa. The glue holding the subframe to hood failed and Honda of Ames said it was out of warranty with 61,094 miles. My opinion was glue failed was not the problem but a design flaw in the hood. Honda of Ames Iowa referred me to a 3rd party for repair. I performed my own repair by glueing hood with gorerilla glue and hood still shakes, flutters, bounces.

Hood flutters on highway. Happens more during windy conditions but can happen anytime while driving on highway. Looks like the hood is going to blow open. Brought it to dealership last year, they said they couldn't find an issue and did nothing.
The hood flutters at certain times under turbulence at freeway speeds. It only happens when conditions are perfect so the dealer refuses to fix because he can't duplicate it. It happens in gusty winds or when driving around semitrucks.
The hood moves up and down while driving at highway speeds. Especially when encountering strong wind gusts. For instance, if the wind is blowing hard or when you meet semi trucks going in the opposite direction. The movement is significant and very noticeable. The first time it happened I stopped to make sure the hood was latched. There is a technical service bulletin for this problem (tsb 17-083) and dealer applied some adhesive in accordance with the tsb. It seemed to help, but did not eliminate the movement. I am concerned that down the road the hood could come apart or come off.

Not sure that it's so much of a safety issue,as it is a black paint issue. I bought the truck in the early part of may 2019. I washed it a week later and noticed black bubbles toward the drivers back window. When I had problems getting the truck to pass emissions. I took it to the dealership. I pointed it out to the saleswoman. She didn't say much. So today I washed my truck again. Noticed 2 chips down to the primer on the hood. I took pics. I know we have a 7 year warrantee on the paint and interior. My problem is I'm afraid the repaint will not be nor last as long as the original paint job. I paid 53k for the truck with 6 miles on it. Now I'm the one with the burden that it might have to be repainted. I feel they need to look at their black paint. Make sure that the paint is reliable. I took pics. They could be better. I can take more. I'd also be willing to take the truck down so they can analyze the paint.
The hood on the 2019 honda ridgeline always jumps up ad down and vibrates violently at highway speeds. It is very unsettling since it is only held by a very lightwieght latch with a lightweight rivet to to the frame. I expressed this concern to the dealership when I took it in for the fuel pump inspection recall. They reattached the rubber gasket on the hood but there is no change in this problem . My concern is that the latch will let go under this stress and the hood will fly up on the highway.
The hood vibrates and bounces at highway speeds as if the hood is not completely latched.
The hood vibrates and bounces at highway speeds as if the hood is not completely latched. Also, the hood does not latch easily. It takes considerable force to get the hood latch to secure. The honda dealership, where the vehicle was purchased, was notified of this on two separate occasions. The first was when the vehicle was brought in for the fuel pump inspection recall. On this visit the hood bolts were torqued to spec. The second time, an inspection of the hood revealed the adhesive holding the hood bracing had separated from the hood. It also showed the hood hook was hitting the hood latch off center (scratches on one side of the hook) making it difficult to close and latch securely.
