Connect the cabin release handle to the hood latch with the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-188. It is a hood release cable with handle, built to directly replace a worn-out or broken cable. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Aveo, 2009-2011 Chevrolet Aveo5 and 2009-2010 Pontiac G3. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
When you pull the handle inside the vehicle, the cable pulls on the hood latch mechanism to release the hood. If a stretched, frayed or snapped cable is why your hood will not pop, this assembly replaces it.
- Direct replacement: Dorman made this cable to match the original cable on specific vehicles.
- Handle included: The cable comes with its release handle.
- Durable construction: It is manufactured within strict tolerances for long-term reliability.
- Cost-effective choice: Dorman offers comparable quality for less than a dealership replacement, backed by a team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
Signs this part may need replacing include a handle that pulls with no resistance, a stiff or broken handle, or a hood that stays latched when the handle is pulled. A binding latch can cause similar symptoms, so check the cause before you replace the cable.

Yes. Dorman describes this part as a hood release cable with handle.
What are signs a hood release cable may need replacing?
A handle that pulls with no resistance, a stiff or broken handle, or a hood that stays latched are common signs. A binding latch can cause similar symptoms, so inspect both first.
