Default c8 front trunk

just got c8 today, has only 200 miles on it but has a problem, cannot open the front trunk by key fob. I could open it by interior and front driver button.
Anyone has problem like that? Please give some an advice

I have the same issue. Mine is 3 days old. I’ve tried all with both remotes. Nothing.

My 2020 is 18 months old. Have the same issue. Trunk works fine with FOB, Frunk not so much!

I would say it appears to work about 10% of the time. I have tried all the "advice" re how long to push and wait between 2nd push. Tried both FOBs, gave up!

No big deal as easy to push button under driver's headlight and the one in the door. When I have groceries to put in the Frunk (if cold "stuff" don't put in trunk- gets hot) just as hard to get to a FOB as pressing button. When removing when I get home just press the door open button. Frankly same with Trunk, button works fine. My FOB never leaves my pocket!

Somethings just not worrying about!!!

My September 2 received 2020 was built the 1st week of the "Avoid Frunk hood coming open when driving software." In fact when I picked mine up from the dealer thought the new software would have to be installed as that is what GM said re timing. BUT turned out it came that way from BG. Has been the same from day 1. Worked at dealer and as I say 10% of the time I try with FOB.

There may be an issue with the door lock receiver for the Frunk. Dealer should handle it

The first press is very short and the second press is very long. Give it a shot and let us know. Good luck.
