Hood stuck on one side
When I pop the hood the drivers side pops open but the passenger side does not so the hood will not open. How do I fix this?

it's more then likely a poorly adjusted latch.
you can try reaching in there with a bent coat hanger, about 8" long with a hook on one end an a loop (for your finger) on the other. reach in and yank the cable. If that does not work, you have to take the poor car apart, remove the right front wheel, and the inner and outer fender. That should provide you with access to the latch.
Good luck.

This unfortunately has happened to a number of forum members. If the suggestion from Bogus does not work for you (I know this is not likely, Bogus) you can click on the "Search" link at the top of the screen, click on "Click for Advanced Search", enter "stuck hood" in the "Key Word(s)" field, highlight "C4 Tech/Performance" and "C4 General Discussion" and then click on the "Search Now" button. You'll find many threads about this topic. You can also vary the search words to find other/more related threads.
