The hood shakes excessively, sometimes violently, while driving at highway speeds as well as at non-highway speeds if any significant headwind is present.  This flapping creates uneven and unpredictable drag that affects the straight-line tracking of the vehicle under normal driving situations.  These characteristics are exacerbated by turns at highway speeds and on surface streets on particularly windy days.  As the hood rises, air enters the engine compartment and causes uneven pressure changes and an unpredictable swirling and turbulent flow of air that the vehicle is not designed to handle.  These combined forces acting on the vehicle throw the lane assist, cruise control, and lane departure warning systems into fits.  On more than one occasion I have had to 'fight' the vehicles inputs to stay on the desired track and to avoid departing the road.  Aside from immediate safety concerns, the abnormal stresses imposed on the vehicle, components, and tires are causing wear at an unknown rate and a premature component failure is likely.  Napleton Genesis attempted to adjust the hood on two occasions prior to claiming to put a new hood on the vehicle.  After yielding no positive results, a remedy was sought by contacting Genesis Motor America.  They claimed to not know of similar complaints.  After several email and phone conversations the vehicle was sent to Pugi Genesis for another failed adjustment attempt.  My suspicions that it is a design flaw relating to the 'Clamshell' design of the hood were confirmed by the contact below, who stated on a recorded line on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, that she received an email from 'the engineers' claiming that they are aware of the issue and that they will not follow up because 'it is fine'.  She also admitted that she is aware of several GV70 owners that have made similar claims.
