9000 mi Engine hood required excessive force to properly latch. Dealer adjusted the frame latch; however in doing so mis-aligned the hood, striped metal bolt, and destroyed plastic rivets. I re-aligned hood myself and replaced plastic rivets. Left rear side bumper could be moved over an inch back and forth with the mud flap due to two plastic rivets used to attach.
