2014 Model S - Front trunk (frunk) unlatched

[JAlbury825]

My 2014 Model S frunk has been randomly unlatching itself, mostly when the car was in park. It did it once while driving, but 3 times while parked (one of those was in the middle of the night). Is this a software anomaly?

One possibility: when the 12 volt battery starts to go bad, these cars can start to exhibit all sorts of strange anomalies.

I just had my 12V battery replaced in January 2022. I'm having them check the frunk issue at my next Service Center appointment.

My 2014 Tesla model S had the front bonnet Frunk open while driving and block the view of the road with no warning message. Tesla refuse to fix the problem as good will and claim it is wear and tear and not their responsibility. Hard to believe given that the frunk continues to lock as normal and there is no obvious evidence that the secondary latch isn't working.

There is a recall for the front latch. Mine was updated last week.
