2013 FORD FLEX Electrical System Problems

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FLEX AND THE ENTIRE LATCH ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHY ISN'T THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEING DEALT WITH BY FORD? *TR

3 OUT OF THE 4 DOORS ON THE FLEX WILL NOT LOCK, I CALLED FORD AGAIN TODAY AND WAS TOLD WE ARE NOT A PART OF THE 2.4 MILLION CARS RECALLED. MY CHILDREN CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS WHILE WE ARE TRAVELING AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING TO US, FORD SUGGESTED I PAY FOR NEW LOCKS AND IF WE ARE RECALLED THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME.

THE ISSUES ARISES WHEN THE DOOR LATCH AND INTEGRATED SENSOR FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THE DOOR BEING CLOSED PROPERLY. A DISPLAY ON THE DASH WILL INFORM THE DRIVER OF THE WHICH DOOR IS "AJAR". THE VEHICLE WILL NOT CHIME AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF IF THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN DRIVE AND DRIVEN. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOW NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO LOCKED WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION. AN INVITED PERSON COULD ENTER THE VEHICLE AT A LIGHT OR AN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS COLLISION THE DOOR MAY COME AJAR. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND FORD HAS EVEN REDESIGNED THE PART BECAUSE IT IS AWARE OF THIS FLAW.

THE DRIVER DOOR ALWAYS SAYS ITS OPEN AND THE LIGHT ON THE INSIDE TO THE CAR STAY ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A CERTAIN SPEED, THE ALARM ALSO RANDOMLY COMES ON. THE CAR BATTERY STAYS DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL BE OFF AND THE ALARM WILL BE SET THE ALARM WILL SOUND SO I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A WARNING INDICATOR ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED BOTH THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WERE UNSECURED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, IS WAS ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY CABLE LINE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 01/10/2017*CT CONSUMER STATED BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT PASSENGER DOORS IN BACK DOES NOT CLOSE RIGHT. UPDATED 7/9/18*JB *TR

BOTH FRONT DOOR SENSORS INDICATE THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT, AND THIS PREVENTS THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS FROM BEING ENGAGED. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THE DOOR SENSOR SAYS THAT IT IS OPEN. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE CAR IS IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN IT IS OFF. WHEN IT IS OFF AND THIS HAPPENS THE ALARM SOUNDS.

DRIVER DOOR SHOWS AJAR WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. CAUSES DINGING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. AND ALARM TO GO OFF RANDOMLY WHEN UNATTENDED. MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF CONDITION. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE

DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY DEFECTIVE. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. RESULTS IN CONSTANT DINGING OF DOOR AJAR ALARM AND DOME LIGHTS ON. SEAT BELTS BECOME UNBUCKLED SPONTANEOUSLY IN MIDDLE BENCH SEAT WHILE IN MOTION. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO OF THEM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OUR KIDS.

PASSENGER DOOR SENSOR SHOWS THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES AS WELL AS A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY AND THE INABILITY TO ENABLE THE THEFT ALARM. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AS MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD.

CAR REPORTS THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN CLOSED. APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH SEVERAL FORD MODELS, SOME HAVE BEEN RECALLED. DEALER IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AND REPLACED THE LATCH. THIS WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR SWITCHES. THE SWITCHES FAIL, TELLING THE CAR THAT A DOOR IS OPEN, CAUSING THE DOME LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AT NIGHT AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. THIS ALSO CAUSES A CONSTANT DRAIN ON THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AS THE SENSOR INDICATES THE DOOR IS OPEN, CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. *TR

VEHICLE DISPLAYS REAR RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR. THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. DOES NOT MATTER IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT ACTIVATE WHEN IN MOTION. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION FOR A LITTLE BIT. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON RANDOMLY WHILE VEHICLE IS UNATTENDED, EVEN WHEN GARAGED.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR MESSAGE WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSES ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AS WELL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY IT RECOGNIZES THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY SHUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE YET FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. WHEN THE DOORS WERE CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DOORS DID NOT LOCK AND THE ALARM DID NOT ACTIVATE WHEN PROMPTED. THE FAILURES RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

FOR OVER A MONTH AND A HALF NOW, WHEN DRIVING SPONTANEOUSLY THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHTS UP, THE CHIMES ALERT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON AND ALL DOORS UNLOCK, AND IF YOU TRY TO LOCK THEM AGAIN WHILE DRIVING THEY WILL UNLOCK 5 SECONDS LATER; YOU NEED TO COMPLETELY STOP THE CAR AND DON'T DRIVE IN ORDER TO LOCK THEM, BUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED, SO WHEN YOU START DRIVING AGAIN THE CAR WILL UNLOCK THE DOORS AND THE WARNING BEEPS AND LIGHTS WILL BE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME WHILE YOU DRIVE. BEING A FAMILY CAR, THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE HAVING SMALL KIDS SEATING IN THE BACK. LAST YEAR I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT AND REPLACE IT, BUT INSTEAD THEY JUST CLEANED THE AREA AND THAT'S IT, IT FIXED FOR A...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX, WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CODE EP0627, THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN, AND FUEL VAPOR LEAKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V8120000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,241.

LEFT FRONT DOOR SHOW ADJAR WHEN SHUT

ITHE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON, DOOR SENSORS MALFUNCTIONED, ENGINE POWER WENT OFF, AND ALARM WOULD GO ON INTERMITTANTLY. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING AND WHEN IT WAS PARKED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY SHOW ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED. MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF AND IMPAIRS MY VISION AT NIGHT. ALSO BECAUSE THE AJAR WARNINGS ARE ON MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. I TRY TO MANUALLY LOCK THEM AND THEY AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHILE IM DRIVING. NOT GOOD WHILE I HAVE MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR!

2013 FORD FLEX SEL. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS FAULTY. WITH THE DOOR CLOSED, THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE AUTO LOCKS DO NOT WORK NOW.

IN THE DRIVERS DOOR, THE SWITCH IN THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY STICKS AND SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE CAR THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR EVEN WHEN IT IS FULLY SHUT. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING YOU COULD SLAM THE DOOR A FEW TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK.

PASSENGER DOOR, REAR PASSENGER DOOR, AND HATCH DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. -INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON -ALARMS GOES OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT -FAULTY LATCH *THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND CREATES A NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD. *IT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON AND I AM SITTING IN A PUBLIC AREA AT NIGHT. *THE FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL PREVENTS ME FROM RECOGNIZING A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. *THE DOORS SOMETIMES MAY OR MAY NOT NOT LOCK. WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY TURN ON.

SEVERAL DOOR LATCH SENSORS MALFUNCTIONING. THEY STATE "DOOR AJAR" WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED. PREVENTS DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE.

DOOR AGAR SENSOR IS STUCK IN THE DOOR OPEN POSITION. THIS CAUSES THE ELECTRIC LOCK SYSTEM TO NOT LOCK THE DOORS. WHEN YOU MANUALLY PUSH THE LOCK DOWN IT JUST POPS BACK UP. IT ALSO KEEPS THE DOME LIGHTS ON. THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR BROKE FROM NORMAL USE AFTER 3 YEARS. THIS PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM LOCKING, AND ALSO DINGS DURING DRIVING.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR STARTED MALFUNCTIONING ON THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND CORRECTED ITSELF AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AJAR SENSOR STARTED MALFUNCTIONING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. NOW BOTH ARE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND CHIME TO TELL ME TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DOORS TO AUTOMATICALLY STAY UNLOCKED WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION (CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE). I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WITH A LIST OF HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS AS SEEN HERE ONLINE BUT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BUT WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHARGE ME $109.00 PER HOUR TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE ACTS LIKE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS AJAR EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW HARD THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO CHIME AS IF DOOR IS OPEN ANYTIME YOUR SPEED IS LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR. IT ALSO POPS UP MESSAGES AND WARNINGS TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN TRAVELING 5MPH OR LESS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH TOUCH UNLOCK. THIS IS USELESS NOW BECAUSE THE VEHICLE THINKS THE DOOR IS OPENED. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN AGGRAVATION BUT A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT. THIS STARTED WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN IN THE CITY. I TRIED TO OPEN AND RESHUT THE DOOR THINKING MAYBE I HAD NOT CLOSED IT HARD ENOUGH.

FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNINGS ACTIVATE WHEN DOORS ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED, RESULTING IN PROBLEMS WITH AUTO DOOR LOCK FEATURE, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINING ON, AND KEYLESS ENTRY PANEL LIGHTS REMAINING ILLUMINATED. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION BOTH IN CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY SITUATIONS.

FALSE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR. DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED BUT SENSOR REGULARLY INDICATES IT IS AJAR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHEN IT IS MOVING.

BOTH PASSENGER DOOR AJAR SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING KEEPING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHICH IS DRAINING BATTERY. LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF UNTIL A CERTAIN SPEED IS REACHED WHILE DRIVING.(CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE!!!) ALSO ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND THE FREQUENCY IS INCREASING.

START DATE IS A BEST GUESS. I ORIGINAL REPORTED THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN GIVING FALSE DOOR AJAR WARNINGS. NOW IT IS ALL DOORS AND OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY SETTING OFF CAR ALARM, INTERIOR LIGHTS THAT WON'T GO OUT, ETC ETC.

DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNINGS ACTIVATE WHEN DOORS ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED, RESULTING IN PROBLEMS WITH AUTO DOOR LOCK FEATURE, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINING ON, RANDOM CAR ALARM ACTIVATION, SPURIOUS EMERGENCY FLASHER ACTIVATION, AND KEYLESS ENTRY PANEL LIGHTS REMAINING ILLUMINATED. ALSO, "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING ACTIVATES WHEN VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH SENSOR IS FAILING. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED.

2013 FORD FLEX RIGHT REAR DOOR SHOWS "AJAR" WHEN DOOR IS FIRMLY CLOSED. APPEARS TO BE A SENSOR THAT HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS STOPS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING / ALARM FROM WORKING PROPERLY / INTERIOR AND PUDDLE LIGHTS FROM WORKING PROPERLY. SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY DRIVER DOOR WOULD SAY DOOR AJAR AND ALL LOCKS WOULD OPEN WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED - THEY FIXED HAD TO FIX DOOR SENSOR NOW MY OTHER DOORS ARE DOING THE SAME AND WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOUR DOOR LOCKS OPEN AT A STOP LIGHT ANYONE CAN CARJACK OR JUMP IN YOUR CAR, WILL NOT LET ME KIDS USE MY CAR - THE CAR DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE SO MANY FLEX REPAIRS OF THIS SAME ISSUE.

DOOR ALARM GOING OFF WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED. INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS FOR OTHER SYSTEMS.

REAR RIGHT SIDE DOOR LATCH AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. READS "DOOR AJAR" WITH DOOR CLOSED. INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS STAY ON. HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ON. DOOR LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE BY FORD DEALER. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS TELLING VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SHUTTING , LIGHTS STAY ON DOOR WILL NOT LOCK, THIS HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE LAST MONTH SOMETIMES HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT UP,TO 15 TIMES TO GET LIGHT TO GO OUT. VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT SO THIS IS NOT A HOT OR COLD, RAINING ISSUES HAPPENS IN ALL CLIMATES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. IN ADDITION, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE EVEN WITH NO DRIVER OR PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTY LOCKING WHILE THE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MANUFACTURER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000. UPDATED 04/20/16*LJ CONSUMER ALSO STATED REAR LIGHT POWER LOCKS AS WELL UPDATED 6/6/18*JB

PASSENGER DOOR SENSOR IS TELLING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS SHUT. IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK OR ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE DOOR WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION (IT POPS BACK UP). WHEN MOTOR IS TURNED OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME INDICATING THAT THE DOOR IS NOT SHUT. THE FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM HAS WORSENED OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. THE MECHANISM THAT RECOGNIZES THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS CLOSED DOESN'T WORK. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON AND SUBSEQUENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP OR VERY SLOW SPEED (LIKE A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT) THE ALARM SOUNDS AGAIN (A PINGING SOUND WITH A VISUAL ALERT THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WITH AN MESSAGE TO SHIFT TO PARK). HOWEVER, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE DOOR IS OPENED AND SHUT, THE ALARM DOESN'T GO OFF. THIS MEANS THAT DOORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO GEAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE DOORS WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO GEAR, THE LOCK IMMEDIATELY SNAPS BACK UP BECAUSE OF THE DOOR WARNING. EVEN MANUALLY LOCKING THE DOOR DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE OF THE ALARM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BOTH WHEN DRIVING BUT ALSO WHEN STATIONARY....

FIRST FRONT DOOR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAD ISSUES WITH DOOR SENSOR STAYING ON, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. HAD REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE... NOW BOTH REAR DOORS SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND DOORS NOT TO LOCK. THIS SEEMS LIKE A KNOWN ISSUE, SOMETHING FORD SHOULD TAKE CARE OF.

ON MY 2ND DOOR SENSOR AND NEED A 3RD..DOES NOT ALLOW INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK...EVERY TIME SLOW DOWN IT PINGS... ALSO ALARM KEEPS COMING ON.

WE HAVE A 2013 FORD FLEX LIMITED AND WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 50000 MILES AND WHEN WE BOUGHT IT THE DOOR SENSOR WAS BAD THE DEALER SHIP SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT 7 MONTHS OF FIGHTING THEM AND THEN THEY DECIDED TO FIX IT SO HERE I AM SITING IN THE DEALER SHIP READY TO PICK UP MY CAR AND NOW THEY TELL ME ANOTHER DOOR SENSOR IS BAD THIS IS DANGEROUS DO TO THE LIGHT STAYING ON AT NIGHT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY FORD AND FIXED RIGHT.

INTERIOR LIGHTING HAS NO MANUAL OFF SWITCH AND REMAINS ON DURING DRIVING DUE TO INCORRECLTY REPORTED "DOOR AJAR"
