When I go to open the hood in -20 temps the hood release will not open the hood.When I do get it open and when I go to close it will only go as far as the safety latch and won't lock.I took it to the dealer and it did the same thing so they sprayed it with fluid film and all was good until this morning.I told them it wouldn't be freezing as it in the engine bay and they agreed.They sent a request off to tech support to get an opinion.Just wandering if anyone has run into this problem and if so how did they resolve it.

I have the same exact issue... it's really frustrating. Apparently it's a known issue on seltos... not really convenient when you want to take the road for a trip...

The dealer said that Kia was aware of it and they are looking at a solution.I think it is a faulty design the way the cable is
