Does anyone else have a problem with their glove compartment constantly opening everytime they drive over a bump????

Everytime i drive over even the slightest bump or if the road isnt so smooth the thing pops right open.... its soooooooooooo annoying!!!!

Yes. This is a known problem for some owners. You can apply a piece of tape to the inside latch to cause some binding and that will temporarily help.
Otherwise you should take it in to your dealer- give them a call to schedule an appt.
Sorry to hear you have that loose latch on your glove box.
