Q: hood latch locked before could. Lose hood and now hood is jammed and can't get it unjammed
I went to close my hood and must have bummed my hood latch witch caused it to lock before I could close my hood. So I didn't realize that it was locked already and I ended up closing the hood anyway. Now the hood is jammed and I can't get it open or unjammed. I tried to mannnually open it and even tried to pull the hood release lever.
My car has an automatic transmission.
