Description of the problem	Ford f150 xlt 2013. On multiple occasions i have noticed that when exiting the truck my right foot tends to brush against the interior hood release latch and occasionally triggers and releases the hood. I have experimented and it really does not appear to really require much force for the time of my right shoe to trigger the latch. Then when later driving the truck, i visually not that the hood has been released and have to stop and fully open the hood to close it. This has happened multiple times and i cannot believe that this is an isolated problem. Otherwise the hood latch mechanism appears to function normally. I am afraid that one day this will cause a bad accident if i don't realize that the hood has been opened. It seems to me that the latch is located in a prone area and perhaps actually should require more tension to fully trigger the release.
