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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK TIRES, TIRE LINE: OPTIMO H426, TIRE SIZE: 255/45R20 N/A, AND DOT NUMBER: 5112POLH0413. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BOTH FRONT TIRES AND THE REAR TIRES WERE MISSING LARGE PIECES OF THE TIRE TREADS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE TIRES TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR TREADS WERE DISINTEGRATING AND ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,100 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS ALSO 31,100.

THE 2ND ROW SEAT THAT COLLAPSES AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON IS A DEATH SEAT. IF THIS SEAT IS OCCUPIED WHEN THE BUTTON IS ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED EG WHEN GRABBING FOR THE SEAT BELT THE FORCE OF THE SEAT COLLAPSING COULD CRUSH THE OCCUPANT. I DON'T KNOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS.

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.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STAY ON INTERMITTENTLY EVEN THOUGH THE DIAL IS TURNED TO OFF. IT WILL HAPPEN SOMETIMES RIGHT WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES THEY WILL ACTIVATE WHEN I USE A TURNSIGNAL OR JUST OUT OF THE BLUE. I CAN USUALLY GET THEM TO STOP BY TURNING THE DIAL ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES BUT LATELY THAT HASN'T WORKED. NOW THAT IT'S GETTING TO SUMMER I'VE HAD TO RESORT TO REMOVING THE FUSE TO MAKE THEM STOP. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WITH A LIST OF HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS 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.

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.
