Question
Hood release latch doesn't release hood.  It pulls much easier than it ever did.

Answer
Hi Fred, Will either your release cable is broken or disconnected from the latch. You will need to break into the hood to get it open. All hoods are different so i really can't give you any direction on getting it open. Sometimes you can get a coat hanger into the latch between the grille and hood to release it.

Hope this helps
