Affected Years: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Tesla Model X. Our law firm is also investigating 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 Tesla Model X for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Actuators/Motors.
Tesla owners are eager to own the latest technology, have vehicles with cutting-edge features, and feel as if they are currently driving the most innovative car or truck on the road. In addition, there are what many Tesla drivers see as added bonuses that come with the ownership of a Tesla, such as the lack of fluctuating cost of operation when gas prices change or the added cargo space in the trunk and frunk of their Tesla Model X. Who would not appreciate the added space that is afforded when you have a cargo area that was large enough to accommodate an entire combustion engine? And even more impressive is that this space can be accessed with the push of a button, opening or closing the cover at will.
All of this new tech and space sounds ideal until the day that you cannot access the space to put packages, groceries, or luggage in the area. Or even more frustrating might be when you are ready to retrieve your packages or food and cannot get the trunk or frunk to open. But one thing is for sure, the most upsetting and potentially hazardous outcomes for the 2019-2022 Tesla Model X trunk and frunk issues are when the trunk or frunk opens when the vehicle is in motion.
If you feel that you have provided Tesla with ample opportunities to repair the trunk or frunk issues with your Model X and it has yet to be corrected, your next step should be a search for a Tesla Model X lemon law attorney, which will lead you to Guardian Lemon Law. We are ready to assist when you have an issue with your vehicle that the dealer cannot or will not resolve in a timely manner.

With that confirmed, Guardian Lemon Law can file a Tesla Model X power trunk/frunk issues lemon law lawsuit for you, to have your Tesla replaced or the vehicle taken back under the manufacturer’s vehicle buyback.
What Qualifies A Vehicle Under California Lemon Law
There are a few basic qualifications that must be met for the vehicle and the repair to meet the Lemon Law standards. The first two items must both be met by the vehicle. They apply to all makes and models, regardless of the issue:
- The issue cannot be caused by abuse or misuse of the vehicle by the owner
- The vehicle must remain under the manufacturer’s warranty at the time of the first failure, and throughout the repair attempts
- The final requirements address the defect and repair efforts, your use of the vehicle, and the impact on the vehicle. Only one of these items must be met for eligibility:
- The dealer or manufacturer must get a reasonable number of repair attempts, defined as at least 2 attempts for safety issues and 4 attempts for non-safety issues
- The vehicle is in for repair of the same issue and is unable to be driven by the owner for more than 30 days
- The issue impacts the safety, the use, or the value of the vehicle
Guardian Lemon Law will provide a comprehensive case review and determine the vehicle’s status under the lemon law. The next step is to provide you with a lawyer experienced in Tesla Model power-trunk/frunk issues and lemon law cases, if you want to take legal action. The final phase of the case review is to ensure you are within the time limits set by the California Statute of Limitations for a claim or lemon law lawsuit.
The California Lemon Law Statue Of Limitations For Vehicle Claims
The Statute of Limitations has two time limits that can apply to your case. The earlier of the two will determine eligibility. The first is 1 year after the factory warranty expires. The second is within 6 years of the vehicle’s delivery date. Guardian Lemon Law will verify which applies as part of your free case evaluation.

The 2019-2022 Tesla Model X Trunk Or Frunk Fails To Open Or Close
Owners of 2019 to 2022 Tesla Model X continue to report issues with the trunk or frunk failing to open or close. While having the trunk or frunk fail to open can be a significant inconvenience, having it suddenly open when the vehicle is in motion is a huge safety concern. In each case, there are issues that no new vehicle owner should be forced to face. And when these failures to open and close become frequent, the Tesla owner is likely to head to the dealership for an evaluation and repair. When they speak to the service personnel, they often hear that the problem was caused by one of these issues:
- Frunk latch failure, which is often due to misalignment and sensor issues
- Power trunk dysfunction is blamed on sensor and alignment challenges in most cases
- Electronic sensor glitches, which can “sense” the trunk or frunk being open when it is not, rendering the vehicle undrivable because it thinks the trunk or frunk is open
- Weather-related failures, where freezing temperatures can cause failure or misalignment and prevent the trunk or frunk from opening
The repairs the dealership claims will resolve these issues include adjustments or replacements of sensors, software updates, or the dealership staff claiming there is no issue, even though the trunk or frunk functioned perfectly while at the service center. What many owners are finding is that, no matter what the dealership service staff claims was the issue and the proper way to resolve it, the trouble persists, and their Tesla Model X trunk or frunk is unreliable.
If you continue to experience these issues with your 2019 to 2022 Tesla Model X and the manufacturer has failed to correct them after several visits or is refusing to provide replacement sensors, please know that you have other options available. One that could be your best choice for resolution is contacting Guardian Lemon Law.
