The plastic part broke off the cable but the cable is intact. I now carry vise grip pliers in the car to open the hood. You will need to push the cable back in for the hood latch to catch.

Yep mine snapped off when opening the hood while it was about 20 degrees out. Haven't resolved it, I just keep a small pair of vice grips in the door.

I pulled on the release and it broke. I never got it fixed. I just use pliers to open it now.
