Have someone pull up on the hood front & center when someone else pops the release. You probably just need a little chassis lube on the latch.

I would check the alignment of the hood, if that is ok then I would check the alignment of the hood latch/spring.

Mine used to do that too, but I find a regular application of lube to the latch prevents it from happening.
