Spray down the latch area with a Teflon spray. Your hood might be popping up on the highway like mine did. The spray fixed the issue.

Unfortunately this is correct.

+1 mine is similar, and I've had the same happen to me dude, leaving my wagon at my apartments(which is the least sketch place on the peninsula) and after popping my hood/not closing it with some umph and it popped up to like half locked while driving... had to pull over and give it a firm close and it was good to go, definitely check that like rupee mentioned

did you pop the hood last night at all before going in?

If it wasn't all the way open, more than likely you popped it on accident or didn't close it all the way last time you closed it.

I had mine pop up like that a while after... it was like it closed but only like 80% latched so over a day or so it rattled and I was on the freeway and it just went... bump and popped up in the latch system.


So my bet.... you did it.

To be honest, when I first saw the title I thought it said POOPED, and automatically assumed it was a Heedz thread.

Yes, this happened 2x on 280 in my '03 sedan, while driving - not a comfy feeling. I used some Tri-Flow oil, opened/closed it a few times and it never happened again.

I have never pulled the hood release by accident with my foot or legs or foreign objects ever. If you do, you need to adjust how you exit and enter your driver seat.

Essentially you don't need to have a hood release to unhitch the latch on the hood, the release is connected to a cable, the cable is connected to the latch. Depending on how you're grill is, the latch might be more exposed than others. The pull release just creates a pivot so it is easier to pull the cable with the sprung tension. You can probably pop your hood with a flat head if you get the latch in the right place.
