This has now occurred twice, the first time in 2016 on a secondary road with light traffic when hood flew up and hit windshield causing damage to glass and hood, we assumed something we did to cause this. On Friday 5/5/2017 we had been traveling for 3-4 hours and this time we were on the freeway ramp in Nashville Tennessee, 5pm rush hour traffic and were fortunate that we were already in the outside lane and able to pull into the emergency lane without causing an accident. This time the hood caused significant damage to the windshield and hood probably because of the greater speed we were traveling. We took car to the local KIA dealer when we returned home. They told us the hood latch is broken. Obviously, but this is not their concern, really, next time we will have to die to get their attention! I really feel this is a defect as their is reported defect on the Sedona for the same year cars. I want the word to get out so someone else does not get hurt!
