A few weeks ago, I went to pop the hood. Double click, seemed fine, then I couldn't get the latch to operate and the hood wouldn't open.

Today I take the car in and my mechanic gets the hood open only to find the part is perfectly fine. It seems as though it gets stuck in the plastic cowl. I can't figure it out. Nothing has changed, and suddenly the damn thing won't work properly. The latch is only 9 months old. I don't believe the car was hit in the front recently either.

Anyone else have this problem? Thanks in advance.
