I tried to release the hood by way of pulling the interior latch, it did not open. i called the dealership they told me to bring it in the next day. i got out of the car and pressed on it (to be sure it was closed) and drove away from the gas station. i was driving 30 miles per hour when the hood let go and hyperextended and flew up in front of me and i was unable to see anything.
