Frunk not working after multiple service visits.

[jgiannini23]

I received my car in December of 2023. Since then, it has had no less than 5 service visits for the front trunk not opening. Each time the techs say they adjusted a latch. It works for a bit and then gets tuck. It seems to be cold weather related since it happens more often during the winter months. Has anyone else encountered this? I’m at my wits end. I just want a working frunk and Lucid can’t seem to deliver it. Do I have any recourse legally? Would 5 service visits and the problem not being resolved classify it as a lemon? Im
In Illinois for what it’s worth.

Since the adjustments hasn't worked out, I would recommend a replacement next.

Thank you. I believe they have tried replacing the latch but the problem persists. I’ve reached out to lucid services asking to give me a record of the service visits and what was done.

It was happening to me during the last cold snap. I think some water got in there and froze. At the advice of my mechanic, I pushed the frunk release button several times and it was then able to be opened.

Does your Lucid park in a garage during winter?

Icing weather is a challenge for the car's doors/frunk/trunk/windows that may need additional design revisions.

I do keep it in my homes garage overnight but it’s persistent at all times. I can’t even put my groceries away. There is definitely a major design flaw with the doors and trunk!

I had the same issue but in hot weather. The frunk would open slightly but then be stuck. What was happening was that it was catching on the trim around the front edge of the car due to metal expansion from the heat. If you pulled it up after unlatching, it would dislodge a piece of trim on the driver side front of the car and then open. Service adjusted it and it was better but will have to wait until next summer's heat to be sure it is fixed.
