Maybe I just have big feet? Hood release latch...

Evidently, I tend to catch the hood release with my feet as I exit the vehicle. I've only owned the vehicle for a couple weeks, and for the sixth or seventh time now, I've gone out to the truck and get the "Hood Ajar" message. I don't remember ever hitting the release with my feet as I exit, but the hood is certainly popped up.

Is this common?

I have considered taping over it to see if it's just me or not... The latch is REALLY easy to pull by hand, so I am thinking it just isn't offering a lot of resistance and the slightest brush will pop it.

I'm now extra cautious when I get out of the truck and haven't had it happen again.

On my Wrangler, I have those stick-on door sill protectors, and my feet catch those every damn time.

I think it's just me and my goofy clown shoes.
