I also had this problem... It means the cable stretched. What I had to do was pull the lever like you would opent the hood and then reach up behind the lever and grab the cable with a finger and pull on that. This will then pop the hood open. Once you have the hood open put a zip-tie or two on the end of the cable knub so that you can open the hood up like normal.

How do you open the hood when the cable is stretched on a 2003 Saturn Vue?
Try pulling a screw driver in the gap of the hood release handle. It should help take out some of the slack. You will still need to push down on the hood to release it. Most likely the tension spring is shot and therefore needs to be replaced or you can take some of the slack out buy using a wire swedge.

Our 2004 Saturn Vue hood release can be opened (if the cable is not broken) by disconnecting the cable from the back of the release lever, grabbing the ball on the end of the cable with some large pliers ("channel locks") and pulling hard. A metal "wire keeper" bracket clamped to the cable end under the hood to serve as a spacer and the release lever works.

What could make the hood release fail on a 2004 Saturn vue?
My hood release sticks because the post on the hood and the catch need new grease every so often. I have to have a helper pulling on the release lever, and myself lifting on the hoo to pry it out of the catch. A little grease on both parts and it works like new.

Go under the dash board on the drivers side of the vehicle, behind it you will see the cable which is connected to the hood release handle. Grab a set of pliers, and grip the cable, (by the exposed part of the cable if possible) then pull it towards you, or put tension on the cable until the hood latch releases.
