| Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed the hood popped open and bent the hood and smashed the windshield. I already had the recall on the hood latch repaired in 2017 at a kia dealer. I brought it back to the dealer and they they cant help me and said to report it to kia corporate. The hood now wont close due to damage. The impact also broke the rear-view mirror and inside light console. It seems that hood latch problem has not been rectified. I have filed a complaint with kia and a claim with my insurance provider. |
