A jammed car hood can be a frustrating and potentially dangerous problem. It can prevent you from accessing the engine to perform maintenance or repairs, and it can also make it difficult to see the road in front of you. If your car hood is jammed, there are a few things you can do to try to open it.
First, check to make sure that the hood release lever is fully engaged. The hood release lever is usually located inside the car, near the driver’s seat. Pull the lever all the way up and then try to open the hood. If the hood still does not open, there may be a problem with the latch itself.
