Consumer Description

I own a 2018 Ford EcoSport, and I’ve been experiencing an issue with the swing gate. While driving, I’ll randomly get a notification that the gate is ajar, even though I haven’t opened it. If the vehicle is locked, the gate stays shut, but if it’s unlocked, the swing gate will sometimes open while I’m on the road. This issue happens more often when I’m driving on bumpy or uneven surfaces. It’s become a frequent problem, and I’m concerned about the safety risk.
