Frunk opened by itself!

[ArthurDOB]

The oddest thing happened this morning...

Before I left the house this morning, I remote-started the car. Went out to the garage, got in, drove to work, and everything was normal. I get to work, park, shut the car down, and ("thunk, thunk") the frunk opens all by itself! What the heck?! Has anyone else ever had this happen?

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Mach-E concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

I'm betting your Ford Pass App was open on your phone in your pocket and the open frunk button was "pressed" by something in your pocket.

You‘re saying he butt-dialed his frunk? ?

It thought he might want some shrimp before work.

I'll take "What is Pocket Frunk" for $100 Alex.

Nope. App closed. Phone on seat. I see I've started a yuk-fest, but I would appreciate it if anyone else has ever heard of this happening.

Did you do anything with the door keypad? Were you carrying a fob?

Also let's not rule out ghosts

Does anyone else have your FordPass login that may have accidentally hit it? My wife and I just use the same FordPass ID for both vehicles. I have a couple times started her MME instead of my truck because I was rushing and didn't notice I was on the wrong vehicle.

Otherwise no I haven't heard of frunk issues. I think some have claimed their back hatch opened without being directed and it damaged the hatch on their garage door, so at least some issues in the same area.

It’s what we do best.

I just received the Frunk Button Update from my dealer and opened it from the Sync Screen for the 1st time right around the time yours opened......Hmmm, maybe I mashed the button too hard in my excitement?!?!?!

The junk in his trunk opened his frunk?

Someone else had similar sounding issues last spring it seems. So, probably rare but you aren't the only one? https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/everything-opened-everywhere-all-at-once.26923/#post-617382

Thanks, "kat." That thread looks familiar. Just the strangest thing. Another poster on that thread said the same thing happened to him, so that's three people. Hatch stayed closed, though.

No and yes. I have PAAK and a fob. I only set up PAAK to get access to the Frunk Button. I never use it exclusively.

I don't believe in ghosts. Long story.
