Hood popped open while driving.

[Bonburner]

My hood has popped up like 3x in this manner ... I've been far too lazy to deal with it.

Thankfully I haven't had the need to drive anywhere lately.

My driver's ed teacher told us if that ever happened to:
- pull over
- turn off the car
- remove key from ignition (it was 1985)
- exit vehicle
- throw keys off the road into the weeds as hard as you can
- call for ride

I guess hoods were heavier then.

It just might be available

Sounds like the latch is fine, but the pull release cable is not. Steel cable is likely corroded inside and is stuck in the "popped/open" position. I'd replace the hood cable pull and lubricate the latch.

Cable is P/N: 57330CA000 and is less than $20
Better hurry though....only showing 3 left in the country...
