I recommend you have your vehicle diagnosed at your Ford dealer. Your Service Manager is in the best position to look into this for you. Let me know the outcome.

thanks guys. Seems just adjusting the rubber bumpers seem to have solved the issue. I really don't do much highway driving at all so I haven't been able to test. But I did push it a little today on my own to see lol. Seems all good.

Thank you for your input, Tony Alonso!

I know this is a little off topic but has anyone installed twist lock hood pins on a stock hood

Spray the latch with WD-40 or some kind of lube. I had a 98 Tiburon and the latch came undone at about 50mph. I messed my pants and pulled over. The hood curled up over the windshield and roof. Your lucky it didn't come unlatched!
