Does anyone have any tips on how to open the front trunk when it no longer release by pulling the handle?
Take your front bumper off. There is a hole (probably covered with a plug) opposite the latch. Remove the cover and you can use a wire or screwdriver to open the latch.
You could also try using pliers to pull the wire if you have any you can grab. If the wire broke inside the front truck you'll have to do the first thing suggested.
after opening you will have to take the front cable loose from the catch and spray wd40 down the catheter and work it a bit finally putting some lithium grease inside the tube so that the cable will work easily. Your girlfriend should be able to pull the cable to release with two fingers
Remove the bumper. Had to do it with mine when I first bought it. Make sure to lube up the cable and all moving parts once you get it open.
First I would have someone push down on the hood while you try the release handle.
If that fails, see above.
Check your pull cable tube, if it has cracks it will flex amd make opening the hood more difficult.
Got new cable rubes if you need one.
