2013 FORD FLEX Unknown Or Other Problems

DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON BACK DOOR IS ALWAYS ON. ANTI THEFT ALARM RANDOMLY SOUNDS.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WOULD NOT TURN OVER TO START. IT WOULD STALL. LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL WOULD COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. ITS A CONCERN AND SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP AS BELIEVED BY THE REFERENCE OF THIS SITE RECALL.

I AM HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE! FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT IS DOOR LATCHES ARE NOT READING CLOSED WHICH DISALLOWS SAFETY LOCK DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE THE REASON THE ALARM/PANIC RANDOMLY AND QUITE OFTEN GOES OFF. SECONDLY THE THIRD ROW SEATS NO LONGER OPERATE CORRECTLY FROM THE PANEL IN THE REAR CARGO AREA. IT CLICKS AND TRY'S TO MOVE BUT WILL ALWAYS RETURN TO THE NORMAL POSITION MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THEM TO ALLOW EXTRA STORAGE SPACE. LASTLY THE TRACTION ASSIST IS VERY ERRATIC WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW WHICH MAKES THIS VEHICLE LESS THEN DESIRABLE TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW, EVEN WITH THE CONTROL ASSIST OFF IT HANDLES VERY POORLY IN ICY/SNOWY CONDITIONS. OVERALL I HATE THIS CAR IF I WASN'T UPSIDE DOWN IN IT WOULD BE GONE ASAP.

MY VEHICLE'S "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN ALL DOORS ARE SECURELY CLOSED. THIS IS RESULTING IN MY LIGHTS STAYING ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THE WORST THING IS THAT MY DOORS WON'T STAY LOCKED AT ANYTIME. WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IS THAT WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS AFTER EXITING THE CAR, THE ALARM WILL GO OFF AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, THEREFORE, I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR UNLOCKED OR KEEP AN EAR OUT FOR IT. I HAVE TRIED MANUALLY LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND THE DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK THEMSELVES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE KNOWING THAT SOMEONE COULD JUST JUMP IN MY CAR OR OPEN ONE OF MY BACK DOORS WHERE MY TWO CHILDREN SIT. I'M ALSO FEARFUL OF MY BATTERY DYING AS A DIRECT RESULT OF MY DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON FOR SUCH A LONG TIME EVERY SINGLE DAY....

DOOR LATCH FALSE SENSOR. CAR DOES NOT PROPERLY REGISTER MY PASSENGER DOOR AS CLOSED. AS A RESULT, MY AUTOMATIC LOCK SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AND I START OUT DRIVING WITH MY INSIDE LIGHTS ON. SAFETY CONCERN GIVEN HAT I LIVE IN THE CITY. ALSO, THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED MY PARKED CAR ALARM TO FALSELY GO OFF AND DRAINED MY BATTERY. I HAD TO PAY $300 FOR A NEW BATTERY WHEN THE CAUSE IS A MANUFACTURER ERROR THAT I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAVE NOW BEEN ADVISED THAT I MUST PAY OVER $300 TO REPAIR.

HAVE REPLACED 3 OF 4 DOOR LATCHES. FAULTY LATCHES SHOWS THE DOOR IS AJAR, KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WON'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE LOCKED WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION, CAR ALARM CANNOT BE SET, CAR ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY,.

TWICE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS STUCK ON. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR AT MY FORD DEALER THIS PAST AUGUST TO THE TUNE OF $ 280.00. BOTH TIMES THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYED ON AND ALSO THE CAR ALARM WOULD START ITSELF. NOW I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT MY BATTERY IS SHOT. I WONDER WHY? I ALSO OWN A 2013 C-MAX PART OF THE LATCH RECALL.

OUR FORD VEHICLE HAS A BROKEN DOOR LATCH THAT HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. OUR DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND WE NEVER KNOW IF OUR DOOR IS SAFELY CLOSED OR NOT. THUS FAR, ALL FORD REPRESENTATIVES HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM AND TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST TOLD ME THAT IF MY VEHICLE ISN'T RECALLED THEN I SHOULD FIX IT AND KEEP MY RECEIPT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OVER A MILLION+ OTHER FORD VEHICLES. WHAT STEPS DO I TAKE TO GET MY VEHICLE ADDED TO THE RECALL? THIS STARTED MONTHS AGO (PROBABLY ALMOST A YEAR AGO) WE THOUGHT MAYBE A SENSOR WAS OFF BUT THE PROBLEM KEPT GETTING WORSE AND ONCE A RECALL WAS ISSUED THE PROBLEM MADE SENSE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?

DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR SENSOR ON MY FRONT DOOR INDICATES THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR, I AM UNABLE TO LOCK MY CAR DOORS AS A RESULT. MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OPENED THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND ALMOST FELL OUT.

REAR DOOR SENSORS DO NOT CONFIRM THAT THE REAR DOORS ARE CLOSED AND WILL NOT SIGNAL DOORS TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN GEAR, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A DOOR TO BE OPENED INADVERTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO RELATED, BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE CONSTANTLY READING AJAR, THE INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS WILL COME ON WITH THE DOORS SHUT AND WILL RUN DOWN THE BATTERY. FORD HAS NOT MADE A REPAIR AVAILABLE

2013 FORD FOCUS TITANIUM WHICH HAS A BROKEN PAWL SPRING TAB, WHICH TYPICALLY RESULTS IN A CONDITION WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR OPENED AND I WAS UNABLE TO SHUT MY DOOR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD CORPORATE, PEORIA FORD, JONES FORD, NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, CONTACTED A LOCAL NEWS REPORTER WHO DID AN ARTICLE ON THE SAME CAR AS MINE WHICH FORD ENDED UP PAYING FOR AFTER THE ARTICLE WAS MADE PUBLIC, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, AND SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS MADE. I HAVE A CLAIM WITH FORD CORPORATE HOWEVER THEY ARE DENYING ANY INTERNAL ASSISTANCE FOR FIXING THIS REPAIR DUE TO IT BEING A DEFECTIVE PART HOWEVER NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CURRENTLY AS 2013 FORD FUSION AND 2013 FORD FIESTA IS BEING LISTED WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT TO GET...

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

THE SENSOR ON THE PASSAGE SIDE FRONT DOOR, IS SAYING ( PASSAGE SIDE DOOR AJAR. I TRIED CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT STILL SAYS PASSAGE SIDE DOOR AJAR!

DOOR AJAR ALARM IS ON WITH DOOR SHUT. WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK, BEING A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDERN. ALSO CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON, WHICH IS NOT GOOD ON THE BATTERY.

DOOR AJAR SENSORS. THE DASH BOARD CLUSTER INDICATES THAT CAR DOORS ARE OPEN ( AJAR ) WHEN THEY ARE NOT. THIS CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY UNTIL THE CAR IS DRIVEN, ALARM TO SOUND AT NIGHT, WHICH AT TIMES DRAINS MY BATTERY. AUTO DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. I REPORTED THIS ONCE BEFORE, HERE AND TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, NOT SURE OF THE DATE, BUT IN 2015 NO RESPONSE!!

DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT RESET. EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED PROPERLY.

DOOR SENSOR WORKING INTERMITTENTLY ON PASSENGER SIDE. ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD OUTSIDE, PASSENGER DOOR IS CLOSED BUT CAR THINKS IT IS OPEN, WILL NOT ALLOW AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING OF DOORS, WHICH REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. DOORS CAN BE LOCKED MANUALLY BUT ALL DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED OR SPRING UNLOCKED WHEN "DOOR LOCK" SWITCH IS PRESSED.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE DRIVER'S DOOR EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. ALL TIMES OF DAY, ALL WEATHER. WILL TURN ON WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. WILL PREVENT ELECTRIC START FROM WORKING, WILL PREVENT DOORS FROM LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY, WILL CAUSE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON. WE HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALREADY NOTED ON OTHER FORD MODELS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE SAME PROBLEM IS ON THIS CAR. THERE IS A PLASTIC LATCH IN THE DOOR WHICH IS ENABLED WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT BUT BECAUSE THE TOLERANCES ARE OFF ON THE RECEIVING LATCH THE SYSTEM BELIEVES THE DOOR IS OPEN EVEN WHEN IT IS PROPERLY CLOSED. THE DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM... FOR $500. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON OTHER FORD MODELS USING THE SAME PARTS. THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE ALL CARS WITH THIS...

TAKATA RECALL ,DOOR LATCH ON DRIVER DOOR IS FAILING, DOOR AJAR COMES ON THE DASH AND KEEPS THE DOME LIGHTS ON, ISSUE WILL OCCUR BEFORE AND AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING.

DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY AND SENSOR. I HAVE REPLACE 2 ALREADY WITHIN 1 YR AND NOW NEEDING TO REPLACE ANOTHER ONE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MY MILES NOT BECAUSE OF THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR STARTED SMOKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID FROM THE TERMINAL. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I THOUGHT I WAS GIVEN BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. PASSENGER DOOR SENSOR MAY BE THE CAUSE. FROM NO CLEAR CONNECTION.

RECENTLY, WHEN DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY FEELS AS THOUGH IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY. I COASTED TO A PARKING LOT OFF OF THE SERVICE ROAD, TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE LATELY. FOR MONTHS I HAVE DEALT WITH DOORS SHOWING AJAR, EVEN WHEN CLOSED. INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON... AND ALARM SOUNDS OFTEN. FIRST IT WAS THE PASSENGER DOOR, NOW THE DRIVER DOOR AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR CONSTANTLY SAY AJAR. ALARM SOUNDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. IT HAS BECOME NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT BATTERY CABLE EVERY NIGHT IN ORDER FOR THIS NOT TO HAPPEN. RECENTLY HAD TO PURCHASE NEW BATTERY. PASSENGER DOOR WAS REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME... BUT DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGE ME $1000 TO REPAIR DOOR LATCHES ON DRIVER DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR, WHICH ON A 2013 VEHICLE IS RIDICULOUS. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS AN ONGOING ISSUE...

I HAVE A 2013 FORD FLEX SEL WITH 60K+ MILES ORIGINALLY PURCHASED WITH 13K MILES IN 2013. I HAVE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY DOOR LATCH. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH ALL DOORS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MY LEFT BACK DOOR. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH MOST RECENTLY THIS PAST WEEKEND. THE MECHANIC ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN MY DOOR LATCHES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (FRONT AND BACK) DOORS AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I AM UNABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOOK EACH DOOR BY ROLLING DOWN MY WINDOWS AND GETTING OUT AND MANUALLY PUSHING DOWN THE LOCK. HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON AS WELL AS MY INSIDE LIGHTS,MY DOORS WILL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK. I CAN'T TURN MY ALARM ON AND 75% OF THE...

MY FRONT DOOR SENSOR HAS GONE OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 1 YEAR. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY FORD IF THIS IS A NONE ISSUE.

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....

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING BEGAN SHOWING WHILE I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE DOOR HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED IN FACT THERE WAS NOT EVEN A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE. I TRIED OPENING AND SHUTTING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AND FOR ABOUT THE FIRST MONTH THE WARNING WOULD RESET. SINCE THEN THE WARNING IS PRESENT APPROXIMATELY 70% OF THE TIME. WHEN THE DOOR AJAR MORNING IS ACTIVE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AT LOW SPEED AND REGARDLESS OF SPEED YOU'RE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS. THESE ISSUES ARE WHEN THE DOOR AJAR MORNING IS ACTIVE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AT LOW SPEED AND REGARDLESS OF SPEED YOU'RE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHICH CAUSE OBVIOUS SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES AS WELL AS THE ADDED DANGER OF NOT BEING AWARE OF AN ACTUAL DOOR AJAR. I TOOK MY FLEX TO SUMMERVILLE FORD...

DOOR AJAR WARNING WHEN THE DOOR IS PROPERLY SHUT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. *TR

THE VEHICLE DOOR AJAR ALARM IS SAYING THAT THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT. THIS HAPPENED FIRST WHEN WE WERE GOING TO BE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AND WE THOUGHT WE DIDN'T GET THE DOOR SHUT TIGHTLY. HOWEVER, MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 7-10 DAYS THE DOOR AJAR ALARM IS GOING OFF, EVEN WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER IT WAS PREVIOUSLY NOT ON AND THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AS A LOUD BUZZING NOISE SUDDENLY COMES ON WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO BECOME DISTRACTED AND START LOOKING FOR THE WARNING LIGHT LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY HAVE INSTRUCTED ME THAT THIS PART IS NOT COVERED BUT TO KEEP MY RECEIPTS IN THE EVENT THERE IS A RECALL. *JS
