Has anyone noticed a shake or shimmy on the hood. I'm wondering whether this is normal or signs of a pending problem we're going to have to deal with.

 

[M_johnny]

I also notice this as well

I am assuming its because the hood is aluminum.

what kind of speeds are we talking about? I've gone to triple without noticing anything weird, but it's possible that I may have been focused on something else as well.

Nope, whole car shakes and shimmys at idle though. <3 V8's.

While driving on awesome uneven roads here in chicagoland, you can see the center bulge of the hood slightly move up and down with the bumps in the road. I am assuming this is because its aluminum. The hood itself is stable and attached. Watch and you will see it yourself.

For me it happens when I go over little bumps chicago streets are not so smooth

Maybe it shakes more than a STEEL Hood since it's an ALUMINUM Hood? Just a thought! ..I do like when sitting at the light and the car shakes a little..Normal and quite cool for our LS3 motors!

nope and the roads here in PA re BAD from the 19 storms this winter!

Maybe the new fancy bonding between the aluminum skin and steel frame isn't consistent. Hope this isn't a new quirk to keep an eye out for.

BTW haven't seen this issue here yet:

Same here, I haven't noticed anything unusual but will be on the look out.

I did not know the hood was aluminum. What else on the car is aluminum versus steel?

The trunk lid is also.

Its not like the hood shakes a few inches or anything, you just see it shimy a little while briskly driving or hitting crappy bumps in the road. Something aluminum hoods do, if it were steel, there would be nothing to see. Now the OP may have another issue, but this is what I noticed on my car and on one of the test drive cars back in February.

Yesterday noticed the panel 'vibrates' a bit when driving over those obnoxious rumble strips they cut into the roads here to warn you when you are crossing the lane markings!
