No, there is no frunk release button in FordPass yet. That’s coming with the same
You know there‘s a button on the tailgate to open it, right?
That’s not true for Job 2 vehicles.
You people with your fancy-schmancy second row of buttons in the FP app. Some of us only have one button in the second row. ??No, there is no frunk release button in FordPass yet. That’s coming with the same

? And yes, I have PaaK set up and it's working fine to get me into/out of the car, start the car, etc. It's the FP app that thinks I don't have PaaK set up. ???

This is because you can release the secondary catch with the lever inside the car (2 pulls to open). On a modern ICE car, you have to get out of the car and release the secondary catch from outside the car. It's Ford's way of ensuring that the car isn't in motion when the secondary catch is released. ??

Yes, yes, yes. I know I own the left-handed step child that Ford is trying to abandon at a Tesla dealership. Ford’s attitude about the early Mustang Mach Es (and their owners) seems to be “if we pretend they don’t exist, maybe they’ll give up and be quiet.”
I believe that the Frunk is designed for safety purposes. Anyone that has had their hood open at highway speeds will agree. My 1960 Falcon did that at 55 mph and it was a shocking experience, lol. Did in my windshield so I had to go to the auto recycler for one. My local Ford dealer actually had a new gasket in stock (1985ish). It has a double release latch for that reason. As for closing, it took me a couple of times, but it closes easy once you learn how to do it. Press firmly in the right place and boom!
That’s got to be scary. I have never had that happen with a forward-opening hood. I had it happen once with a rear-opening hood and it was not a big deal since air pressure and gravity hold it closed once it’s open far enough to bleed off under-hood pressure. I have seen it happen enough on hood pinned race cars to never want to experience it myself. ??
Off topic (but what else is new around here), but your story is a warning to Mach-e aficionados that if something you’re being told just doesn’t sound right, don’t do it. Even when it’s coming from Ford Customer Service.You people with your fancy-schmancy second row of buttons in the FP app. Some of us only have one button in the second row. ??
FordPass Support has been entertainingly ineffectual regarding this. They even cost me time at work and the price of a cab ride home and back to work because even though I told the support guy three times that I was using PaaK and did not have the physical key anywhere near me, he insisted I delete the PaaK I was using. So, as of right now, the only way to open the frunk lid from the outside of the car is to enter my unlock code on the B-pillar keyboard and then hit the 7-8 button. ??
Yeah, I had to take a couple of hours off work and pay for a cab ride home. The guy on the phone was weirdly insistent, even after I told him for the third time that I didn’t have a physical key. ??
Well that seems like a firmware & App update? No? Because I definitely have Frunk button.No, there is no frunk release button in FordPass yet. That’s coming with the same

Job 1 cars don’t have it yet.
