Default Frunk Issue

I seem to be having a frunk issue that everytime I open it it only opens halfway but not fully unlatched. It doesn't matter if I do it on the key fob, front latch, or interior button. I can hear it try and lift it at least 2 or 3 times but it only partially lifts up and I have to press it again while pulling up for it to fully open. I used to only have to push the button and it fully unlatches by itself and I could pull it up. Is this a known issue?

Sounds like you should visit a dealership and have it adjusted

When I press the button (I don't use the fob) I hold it until I hear TWO clicks... It's a double latch. If this isn't your problem, sorry for wasting your time and forum space, but maybe I got it right?

There have been more than a few cars that have had the trunk release solenoid replaced.
