The problem lies in, why would the design be such that it’s “up to the owner” to know how to close the damn thing? Or be so easy to accidentally hit the release? It’s a hood. Design it to close and lock like every other hood on the planet that doesn’t require special training. GM initially was blaming owners when there was even video of it happening thanks to the PDR.

This approach is bad customer service and plain ignorant stupidity to some of GM’s most affluent customers. It’s not the kind of thing to dismiss as infecting a forum.

You completely miss the point. Just like GM.
if you ever saw the ORIGINAL video of the first issue....you would have seen where the guy got in his car....had the radio cranked up a bit, and HE couldn't hear the warning chime AND he didn't see the 2 warnings, the hood wasn't latched and the speed was limited (but to 85 mph, and THAT was the update to the fronk, limit the speed to 26 mph nothing more) SOOOOOO it WAS OPERATOR ERROR, NOTHING MORE.
