2013 FORD FLEX Complaints

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR KEEPS SAYING THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT'S CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SAYS SHIFT TO PARK AND CONSTANTLY ALERTS BECAUSE IT THINKS THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN AND WON'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO LOCK. THE CAR ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY EVEN WHEN IT'S LOCKED AND YOU AREN'T ABLE TO USE THE BUTTONS TO TURN OFF THE ALARM WITHOUT MANUALLY INSERTING THE KEY IN THE DOOR WHILE PRESSING THE BUTTON.. AND THE LIGHT ON IN THE CAR WILL STAY ON ALL NIGHT BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. I HAVE SEEN THIS AS AN ISSUE FOR MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THE FORD FLEX AS WELL. WITH THE DOORS NOT LOCKING DURING DRIVING AND BATTERY DRAINAGE THIS CONCERNS ME AS A MOTHER.

PASSENGER DOOR SENSOR IS ONLY WORKING HALF OF THE TIME. THE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT THE ALARM SHOWS THE DOOR AS OPENED. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR AGAIN AND AGAIN WILL EVENTUALLY WORK TO REGISTER THE DOOR AS CLOSED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS I AM NEVER REALLY SURE IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED. WHEN THE DOOR IS SHOWN AS OPEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON.

RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR KEEPS SAYING AJAR WHEN CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOORS SHUT AND CAR IS IN MOTION.. OPEN AND SHUT DOOR SEVERAL TIMES BUT INDICATOR STAYS ON. ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY AT ANYTIME CAR IS PARKED. DOORS DO NOT LOCK ANYMORE WHEN CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. SAFETY CONCERNS THAT DOOR IS NOT SHUT WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SENSOR IS ON SAYING DOOR IS NOT CLOSED. DOOR IS CLOSED AND SENSOR WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS KEEPS THE INSIDE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE ON FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER YOU START DRIVING OR AFTER YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO BACK UP AND THE INSIDE LIGHTS IN THE CAR ARE ON.

THE DOOR SENSOR KEEPS SAYING THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT'S CLOSED. THE CAR ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY EVEN WHEN IT'S LOCKED AND NO ONE TOUCHED THE KEY. AND THE LIGHT ON IN THE CAR WILL STAY ON ALL NIGHT BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. SOMETIMES IT SAYS THE DOOR IS SHUT AND WILL BE FINE AND OTHER TIMES IT'S OPEN. I HAVE SEEN THIS AS AN ISSUE FOR OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. IF THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS WILL YOU RECALL IT?
