Yes, bad thing. It should pop on the first pull, first time, every time.

Is the latch mechanism lubed? It could be that the cable has stretched. I believe you can adjust the cable attachment point once you get the hood open. Access is from underneath the cross piece that holds the mechanism.

Keep us posted,
