If the hood release on a VW Jetta is broken, whether its the cable or the plastic piece, you will need to remove the center shield under the vehicle. It is connected by four screws. Reach up under the vehicle and manually push the hood cable down with your hands to pop it open.

If the hood cable is broken on a Geo Prizm, the only option is to open the hood from underneath the vehicle. It is best to put the car up on a hoist and use a pole to trip the hood latch.
If the cable release is broken for the hood on a 2002 Kia Spectra, a person could crawl under the car and see if they can locate the broken part of the cable. If it is still attached to the hood, they could pull it to trip the hood latch. Otherwise, the car will have to be put on a hoist, and a long pole used to trip the hood latch.
