I don't know what to say about this issue. I have now put on 1700 km's on my car. granted not a huge amount yet. But at no time have I felt that my hood was not securely latched. I have opened and closed the frunk repeatedly and I feel the two stage locking mechanism each time. I think the engineering is sound. IMHO. Again, not laying blame on the drivers but it could be many things. I remember years ago the reported issues with the Audi 5000 sedans. There were reports of automatic acceleration of the cars. A few cases had occurred.
turned out after much investigation, it was driver error. The Best Of TTAC: The Audi 5000 Intended Unintended Acceleration Debacle - The Truth About Cars
With over 6,000 C8's now produced, how many frunk incidents have happened? I think the numbers are quite low. I am hoping that the glitch, if there is one, can be addressed with software updates. Chevy Dude did a video on the frunk issue and I thought it was informative.
