As Title States, I'm noticing an issue with the Autostart shutting down the vehicle before I get WHEN I open the Frunk first... This doesn't happen with the tailgate. Only Front Trunk.

To Recreate Problem:
1) I start the truck from the Ford Pass App
2) Use the App to Unlock the Truck
3) Open Frunk
4) Truck shuts off...

I'm not sure why this happens or would default to that.

Yes, that is performing as designed. Posted before.

This is how it works. It's silly but is probably a holdover from the ICE vehicles where you'd have risk of injury if the truck is remote started with the hood open. The only time this would be an issue with the Lightning is if the frunk tub is removed for service.

That reminds me... I need to leave/record voice feedback about this. I know its "by design" but its not needed in a BEV.

There is no issue, the truck is performing as designed.
