yes.. the cable sheath that runs between the two hood latches is completely rotted... and if i pull on it the latch gets unstuck.. then i can move the latch lever freely by hand.... dealer says this is common on winter driven cars....

Okay I'll confess - I usually carry a GPS - just don't use it often. Like when I'm short on gas and good and properly lost!!!
