At highway speed you can see some up and down movement. Is there an adjustment that needs to be made?
Yes its adjustable look for the bolts that mount the latch to the vehicle in the center front .Line it up with the catch on the hood .It likely needs some lubrication and it slide down.Also the cable release can be a problem if the cable stretches because the latch isn't moving freely it might not be completely clamping down on the catch.However the main problem is lubrication its got to move freely if the cable is stretched you can take a cable tie put it at the contact point of the cable at the latch and take up some space to tighten up the cable slack.

find the cable that is supposed to attach to the latch, and grab it with a pair of pliers or the like and pull.

Try smacking down on the hood with a open hand.You may want to have someone inside to pull the lever while you hit on the hood.If you do get it open spray everthing down with a good lubicant.Well good luck and hope this helped.
Testimonial: "It worked just fine .I also used some wd40.Thanks"

if the cable is not broken then pull the release then take the side of your fist and pound on the hood starting towards the top drivers side and slowly move towards the latch try it a few times i have to do this every single time on my blazer
