Consumer Description

DOOR AJAR WARNING FOR BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS ARE ON ALL OF THE TIME, EVEN WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INSIDE LIGHTS TO STAY ON. ALARM GOES OFF FOR NO REASON. DANGEROUS CONDITIONS BECAUSE WHEN INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON AT NIGHT, CANNOT SEE WHEN BACKING UP. THE COMPUTER WARNING BELL DINGS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND SAYS ENGINE IS ON. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY ARE OTHER FORD MODELS RECALLED FOR THIS, WHILE THE FLEX IS NOT? THE FLEX NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THIS RECALL.
