CarComplaints.com Notes: We all want our SUVs to be able to stop on a dime, just not randomly and without warning. But that's what was happening to 2005 Pilot owners: their vehicles were slamming on the brakes even when they didn't. A government investigation of this problem led to a recall in March of 2013.
Another issue that keeps popping up is transmission fluid mixing with coolant in the radiator which is causing transmission failure, a costly repair to say the least.

I need to add AC refrigerant.
The hood release button inside the vehicle is fine. I lifted it and can feel the tension from the cable. I am fairly certain the hood release cable is not broken.
However, the lock on the hood won't pop open. I poked, prodded and banged on it. I sprayed some WD-40 inside and let it sit overnight. It still won't open. The grill is hard plastic so I can't get in-between or around it. I can reach the secondary hood release inside with a long screw driver. I can push it with the screwdriver, but that is useless.
The hood is stuck closed.
