Have a 2001 Subaru outback. Yesterday it started stalling and all electrics ceasing. Took it to mechanic who could not find anything. Went to take it home and got 150 feet before it stalled in traffic and would not restart until popped the hood and slammed it back down.

SOURCE: My hood latch is broken

If the cable link to the latch is rusty or broken you have to take the front grid down. It's relatively easy. It's held there by plastic fasteners. Then reach for the latch with you hand, or the leftover broken cable. Pull it, it should release the first latch, than you just have to get to the security latch, like you usually do to open the hood.

Check your vacuum lines near your intake. Usually with bogging in gears would be a bad front o2 sensor. When was the last time you got a tune up? Spark plugs, wires, fuel filter. Not being up to date on those can cause the car to lose performance.
