Damaged Honda E - Pop Up Hood System
Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2022 8:40 am
My beautiful Honda E is damaged. I was driving down the motorway and a huge piece of *something* flew off the car in front of me and hit the front of my Honda E while I was travelling at 100 km / hour.
It was a decent whack, and as you can see, has damaged the front of my car.
I was hoping that it was cosmetic, however a light on the dashboard has come on, that suggests the "Pop Up Hood System" was activated, and perhaps my car (wrongly) thought I hit a pedestrian and has activated some safety feature.
The hood/bonnet looks fine to me and hasn't popped up at all. The manual says I should take the car to the dealer. Trouble is, Honda E isn't sold where I live so I'm anticipating this could be awkward.
Anyone on these forums have any experience with this "Pop Up Hood System" and what might have been involved to restore your car once it had been activated?
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered to me
