Frunk opened by itself!

The junk in his trunk opened his frunk?

I had a similar issue last week. I kind of chalked it up to the car doing an update the previous night and it being super hot out. It was an extremely hot day in NJ (95 or higher, way hotter inside the car), was leaving work in the afternoon- turned on the navigation to see if there was traffic- Nav was acting strange, it wouldn't display the route, appeared to be running but on the dash screen it showed turn in 0ft. I tried to cancel the navigation, no go. tried a few times and it would not clear. SO at the next light I stopped put it in park and shut the car off, then opened the door. Then restarted the car and that's when the Frunk and the Hatch popped open! Had to pull over get out and close them both. It has not happened again, I am convinced it was the high heat messing with the electronics. I also noticed that in the last few days the car giving me the ding noise about he auto headlight switch happening more often- maybe related? The light switch memory thing happens every now and again but it seemed to happen save times this week.

There are other reports of this happening on the forum. This combined with the back hatch opening on it's own is part of the standard MachE gremlins.

Yes, they frequently change the title of threads so that people can see what the thread is about before deciding whether or not to click into it.

I don't believe in ghosts. Long story.

Definitely something a ghost would say

You‘re saying he butt-dialed his frunk?

"Butt-dialed the frunk" definitely sounds like an entry on Urban Dictionary.

Yeah, otherwise they come for the shrimp, but stay for the comments.

I can see where this might get hung up in a app/server/car request. Not sure if it'd be in the phone app, or something between the app and the car. If the app gets bumped in a race condition I can see the request might get blocked or held because the car is on or in D. Possibly the car gets the "open the frunk" request from FP (bumped in the app while putting the phone on the seat) but holds it until safe, i.e. when you key off, if you key off while leaving the car in D. (I've been doing this so much I keep parking my other cars and getting out while they nearly roll away due to still being in D). Possibly if it is in D going to "off" could be considered safe so the car completes the Frunk opening.

The Thread where the front and rear did this could be the same race condition.

Just musings of a server admin and random 'cloud type' things that can happen (even if it's not really a cloud)

I liked mine better.

I see I've started a yuk-fest

It’s what we do best.

Though sometimes it's a yuck-fest.

Had it happen to my Job 1 (no frunk button) about three weeks ago while driving at 70MPH.

Luckily, it did not open all the way and I got the notification.

In my case, I had it in the day before at the dealer for its 30k service, and I suspect they closed it after topping off the wiper fluid, but did not slam it down. The next day, I had to drive through parts of the city of Chicago, which can be as rough as driving off-road due to little potholes and and general bad conditions, and proceeded to get on the interstate and about 30 minutes in, received the warning.

I think they closed it enough for the sensor to not trip, it loosened enough with the city driving and the interstate headwind to move it at the sensor tripped.

Completely different that what this sounds like, but a better sensor would be nice.

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.

Is there a second user with Ford Pass?

 

[spicy_taco]

Yes, it happened to me, but in my case both frunk and trunk opened.

I've had the trunk open on it's own in my '21 so it doesn't surprise me at all that it would also happen with the frunk...

 

[ArthurDOB]

I tried to recreate the same thing this morning. Did everything exactly as I did yesterday. Didn't happen.
