NHTSA Complaint #11103412 — 2013 FORD FLEX

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THE DOOR IS SHUT. TWO DOORS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE REPAIRED ALREADY IN THE PAST, NOW A PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED DOOR AND ANOTHER DOOR ARE COMING UP ON THE DASH SCREEN AS DOOR AJAR. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS TO COME ON, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND THE ALARM TO RANDOMLY GO OFF AT NIGHT WHILE THE ALARM IS SET AND THE DOOR "OPENS AND CLOSES" AS THE CAR CAR IS THINKING IS HAPPENING WITHOUT DISARMING FIRST. THE DOME LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING, WHICH IS DISTRACTING AT NIGHT. THE DOORS WILL NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHILE DRIVING EITHER SINCE THE CAR THINKS THE DOORS ARE OPEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEYOND FORD.
