Does anybody experienced hood unlock
Does any of you experienced hood unlock while driving. I had it already 3 times I'm lucky that my speed was low enough. How can I fix that it's quite scary.

Never. Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order. Even if it unlocks at speed, I would hope that the safety catch will still be functional.
Did you have body work done to it? |

Nope no body work. Safety catch saved me I just wonder if speed would be 100 mph what would happen then?

Either way, you do not want to find out for yourself. |

I have to agree with you but how can I fix that, it closes just fine... But like I said few times it's just poped up.

They don't have to believe you in any ways. They will ask themselves why would you lies about a safety issue.
Take a picture of how open your hood was if it happens again. Show it to the dealer if needed. Kcc

I informed the dealer I wasn't thrilled about the hood latch issue and they looked into it. Per the maintenance paperwork it says they oiled the latching mechanism. Not sure how that will help but it hasn't had any issues since. |

I've never had it happened to me, but it happened to my friend's E90 a few weeks ago. He was going about 130 when it started vibrating!!! Scary stuff.

Per the manual, the hood should close securely by simply dropping it from a few inches up. If yours doesn't do this, or if you have to press down at all to get the hood to secure, it is not functioning properly. I would take it in to the dealer ASAP.
