2013 FORD FLEX Complaints

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.

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

FUEL LEAKS WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED. STRONG SMELL OF FUEL REMAINS DAYS AFTER FILLING TANK. FUEL LEAKS ONTO GARAGE FLOOR

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOFTWARE AND THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

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 LATCHES ARE FAILING ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SIMILAR TO AN EXISTING FORD EDGE RECALL. DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND REAR DOORS CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WHILE IN MOTION.

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.

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