2013 FORD FLEX Complaints

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.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS FAULTY. THIS PREVENTS AUTO LOCKS FROM WORKING, PREVENTS PROXIMITY UNLOCK FROM WORKING, PREVENTS DOOR FROM LOCKING PROPERLY AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL, AND MAY DRAIN BATTERY AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

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.

OUR FORD FLEX SAYS THE RIGHT REAR DOOR IS OPEN EVEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS THE DOORS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. WE TRY AND REMEMBER TO LOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY BUT ON OCCASION IT CAN BE OVERLOOKED. ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY 3 YEAR OLD SON WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE CAUSING THE DOOR TO FLY OPEN WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

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!

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

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS LEADING UP TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP VISIT, I NOTICED A SOFT GRINDING NOISE (RUBBER ON RUBBER) WHEN TURN THE VEHICLE (ANY DIRECTION), MOST NOTABLE, AT LOW SPEED. ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE THE SERVICE SHOP VISIT THE GRINDING NOISE BECAME VERY LOUD, SO LOUD, THAT IT PROMPTED THE SERVICE VISIT. ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SLIGHTLY STICK AND I HAD TO CONSTANTLY MAKE STEERING CORRECTIONS. THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR ALARM SOUNDS WHEN DOOR CLOSED. THE DASH SHOWS A PICTURE OF THE CAR WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, DOOR ALARM CHIMES. THE CAR ELECTRICAL STABILITY SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. BEEN HAPPENING FOR DAYS. HAPPENS AS SOON AS I GET IN AND SHUT THE DOOR. TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR HARD, SOFTLY, QUICKLY, AND IT STAYS ON MORE AND MORE. NOW THE CAR ALARM SOUNDS A COUPLE TIMES A DAY WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND OFF.
