  1. Yes but that was 4 weeks ago. I drive 60-70 miles a day on the motorway. The bonnet should have a safety latch so that it does not pop up. Also, it would have happened before now. I would have seen the bonnet open and possibly moving from my driving position if not closed properly.
  2. It is a 58 registration but we bought the car second hand from Arnold Clark in 2009. There is one other incident of a similar nature online (faq.org) with 2008 Kia Sedona.
  3. My husband when he last topped up screenwash (about 4 weeks ago because screenwash indicator is on).
  4. As i drove along in the fast lane of the motorway at 70mph with my 4 children in the car, you can imagine my alarm when the bonnet popped up, obscuring my vision and making me swerve across 3 lanes to the safety of the hard shoulder. Phew!! I thought. No, that was only the start... The bonnet was shut with a crow bar, recoverd by AA and taken to Arnold Clark Bodyshop repair, Grangemouth. I then received a phone call, "Can you please explain what happened today because we can see no damage to the bonnet mechanism?" Now, I am being held responsible for the bonnet opening, it will cost me £515 for the repairs and Arnold Clark will have nothing to do with it. That is what I call injustice!! They are happy to sell cars that only barely meet minimal inspection legal limits, they are most definitely very pleasant when you buy their cars BUT do not expect the same level of service if you have a fault. Instead, you should expect angry, patronising workers who claim that you would sobatage your own vehicle and jeapordise my childrens lives. YET AGAIN... PLEASE AVOID ARNOLD CLARK AND KIA CARS!!!!!!
