Anyone seeing the sides of their hood sinking??? The top edge on each side of the hood is almost 1/4" BELOW the top of the fender.

Not here at 1975 miles. Car still feels/is like driving a solid brick.

How many miles on yours? Had any accidents?

I thought I might have been the only one.

Something is definitely not right up top on our cars. I can't say anything about the hood (mine's OK), but on anything but the hottest of days, the car creaks like "a bad American car." No accidents of any kind with my car.

I noticed it the day I picked the car up, but my dealer didn't have a 300 certified tech to address the issue. He logged it for me, and I will have someone look at it at my first service. I suggest you do the same.

Let us all know how your dealer responds to the issue.

Man, all this talk about creaking noises, flexing, etc. I hope ours does not catch that virus!

I haven't seen my hood sinking, but it sure does shake while under way...Cuase for concern? Hope not.

I bought my 300C on April 12th...13 days before the official premier so I've had over two months to put 7,600 (yes, seven thousand six hundred) miles on it. No accidents that I know of but horrible DC streets can rattle your car as badly as a minor fender bender sometimes. I called my service advisor AGAIN today and of course was sent to voicemail. I'm sure she'll be delighted to see me outside of the dealership on Monday morning since I didn't hear back from her today.

Just came back from a 1000 mile trip, I've got 2500 miles now, no problems!
