Description of the problem	The issue that concerns me involves the initial hood release that is located inside the car along the left side (driver's side). Specifically, on numerous, random occasions the toe of my right foot released the hood as i am pivoting to exit the car. A few times, i have noticed the hood is slightly released and i shut it. However, more often, i didn't notice the hood up slightly and started off on my trip. For example in september/october we made a round trip from milford, ct to bradenton, fl. And recently repeated the trip from milford. At least 6 or 8 times along i-95 i-10 or i-75, i noticed the hood was released and i had to pull over to the road side from a highway where the speed limit ranges from 50-70 mph. As i am sure you know, there is a secondary hood release that has to be manually released from the front of the car. However, should that secondary release fail, the hood would blow open while we were in motion and either blind our vision or blow off to only god knows where. I have called this matter to the attention of premier subaru in branford, ct and asked that they inform subaru. I haven't heard from either company.
