What owners wrote
. There are about 8 cars ahead of me in my lane as we wait for the green light. When the lights turn green I note that my lane hasn't moved and the buses are steady chugging through the intersection in the left lane I look into my rearview mirror, I was the last car in line for this stop and I hadn't even gotten my foot off the brake and all I could see was a big black grill coming toward me.
While driving at 40 miles per hour, the hood flew up, and back, into the window and marked the roof. We discovered that the hood release had been pulled earlier, instead of trunk release. My issue, after closing the now "sprung" hood, we tested the secondary "safety" latch, it did not hold
