All,

I searched the forums, but I didn’t have any luck. I’m almost positive it hasn’t been an inadvertent fob push, is there an explanation as to why this may be occurring? I have comfort access, but I’ve never successfully opened my trunk with the foot swipe. Both times, fortunately I was just grabbing a coffee, so someone gave me a heads up, but my fear is if it occurs at an airport, etc. Thanks in advance.

This is realy funny. I had the exact same last week. Also twice.
first time I noticed that the trunk was open in the afternoon when I was aprox 30 meters away from the car all the time. Second time was in the following night. Key was in a metal box. Car parked 40 meters from the metal box. When I woke up and looked out of the window I saw the trunk was open.
Weird.

Just curious (I can’t believe I didn’t pay attention), was the rest of your car “unlocked” when you discovered the open trunk lid? I honestly don’t recall, but I’ll pay close attention the next time it occurs. If it was/is indeed locked, it isn’t/wasn’t a fob error. All doors and mirrors open when you use the fob to open the trunk.

The Force is strong, sounds like a fault if not an inadvertent fob push (I have this with my frunk).

The sensor for the comfort access kick to open is very sensitive, sometimes I trigger it on my Cayenne without realizing it, until it starts beeping and opening. Odds are high you have inadvertently opened with comfort access.

Mine opened with the hosepipe I was using to wash it last week. It must be sensitive.

You can try to disable comfort access and see if it keeps happening. If not, then maybe the comfort access sensors are faulty.

I have the door problem where the car will unlock itself as soon as it's locked and that has been well documented in Taycans. Not a shocker if a similar problem with the boot also.

I had this problem too. Dealer was able to fix it by ordering a new door handle, painting it, and installing. Works great ever since. Until it was fixed I was using the rear door handle to lock the car when I walked away (my key fob is in a pouch so it's more difficult to press the lock button on the fob).

This happened to me too but the frunk, when it happens, car does not automatically turn on and it wont move the seat either.
My climate control stopped warming too. Took it to service center this morning.
