This recall has nothing to do with the frunks popping open while driving. That issue a whole different issue and so far GM just says "user error".

Porsche has a mechanical secondary latch. McLaren won't allow the car to start or go into gear if the hood isn't latched. It seems GM's system either has an error, and/or they made a poor design. |

So a few people on the Vette boards are saying it happens while the FOB is in your pocket. The button is overly sensitive, and it can open the frunk while driving on the highway.
This isn't user error, the thing should disable at speeds over 2 MPH. |

Agreed.. but that can have an easy temporary fix.. Just place fob in cup holder while driving.

There was one person who said the fob was in the cup holder and he did not open the frunk at any point in driving the car. Who the heck knows. Again not very well engineered, a secondary latch should not allow the frunk to fly open even if the frunk was not closed completely.

Just think if they could just put the hinges at the front not the back, all the dangerous hood flying open goes away. A manual pull cable will also solve this forever. But people love buttons. LOL

Name the last frunk that is forward hinged. Only one that comes to mind, which I've owned, is Countach and that frunk isn't for storing goods. As someone with two manual frunks and an electric frunk (girlfriend's GT3), electric is better. |

If this is the only issue GM has with the new vette, i'd consider this a win for GM. Although, I'm going to assume we haven't seen the last of recalls for this vehicle. Hopefully i'm wrong. I'd like to see this new vette do well.

Get smart, GM.
Tell users it’s an air brake. It is a racecar, right? |

The DCT is the big one. Too early but Youtubers have already found if you want to add more torque you will need to upgrade clutch packs, etc. And then there’s just a lot more electronics. More failure points, I do think it will prove to be reliable but waiting a year or two would be very wise. Not paying ADM even wider. They will make hundreds of thousands. |
