2013 FORD FLEX Complaints

FIRST FRONT DOOR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAD ISSUES WITH DOOR SENSOR STAYING ON, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. HAD REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE... NOW BOTH REAR DOORS SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND DOORS NOT TO LOCK. THIS SEEMS LIKE A KNOWN ISSUE, SOMETHING FORD SHOULD TAKE CARE OF.

ON MY 2ND DOOR SENSOR AND NEED A 3RD..DOES NOT ALLOW INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK...EVERY TIME SLOW DOWN IT PINGS... ALSO ALARM KEEPS COMING ON.

FOR A VERY LONG TIME, THE LIGHT INDICATING THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS OPEN HAS BEEN COMING ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS FIRMLY SHUT. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT KEEPS THE INSIDE LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE CAR DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED (I'M ASSUMING BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN?), WHICH WORRIES ME WITH TEENAGE GIRLS DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN I TALKED TO SOMEONE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, HE SAID THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT (CERTAINLY HELD UP BY ONLINE COMPLAINTS) THAT THIS HAS BEEN A FAULT WITH THE CAR.

ON DECEMBER 31, 2015, I EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. THIS WARNING APPEARED IN THE DASH DISPLAY. I HAD NO POWER STEERING IN THE CAR. I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED WHEN DRIVING. TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR HAD NO EFFECT IN CLEARING THE FAILURE. ALSO HAD AN ADVANCE TRAC WARNING APPEAR ON THE DASH AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD ONLY OPERATE IF HELD MANUALLY IN POSITION. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL (FORD RECALL NUMBER 15S18) ISSUED WHICH COVERS THIS PROBLEM IN FORD FLEX VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE MINE. MY FLEX WAS BUILT 9/25/2012. THE DEALER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING PSCM. HOWEVER, SINCE THE MILEAGE PUT THE CAR JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IT APPEARS THAT THE STEERING PROBLEM CONTINUED ON CARS BUILT AFTER FEB. 2012 WHICH WAS THE BUILD DATE SPECIFIED IN THE ABOVE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE THE BUILD DATE FOR COVERED REPAIRS TO BE EXTENDED AND COMMUNICATED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD THE DOCUMENTATION AT THIS TIME.

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.

WE HAVE A 2013 FORD FLEX LIMITED AND WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 50000 MILES AND WHEN WE BOUGHT IT THE DOOR SENSOR WAS BAD THE DEALER SHIP SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT 7 MONTHS OF FIGHTING THEM AND THEN THEY DECIDED TO FIX IT SO HERE I AM SITING IN THE DEALER SHIP READY TO PICK UP MY CAR AND NOW THEY TELL ME ANOTHER DOOR SENSOR IS BAD THIS IS DANGEROUS DO TO THE LIGHT STAYING ON AT NIGHT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY FORD AND FIXED RIGHT.

INTERIOR LIGHTING HAS NO MANUAL OFF SWITCH AND REMAINS ON DURING DRIVING DUE TO INCORRECLTY REPORTED "DOOR AJAR"

ON THE EVENING OF 12/18/15 (10:00PM), AFTER STARTING UP THE CAR, NONE OF THE CONTROLS LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING WHEEL COLUMN WOULD OPERATE. I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS AND NO WIPERS AND NO CRUISE CONTROL. A MINOR INCONVENIENCE WAS THAT I COULD NOT OPERATE ANY SYSTEMS NOR THE RADIO FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AT HOME THE CAR ACTED AS THOUGH THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE IGNITION EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN REMOVED AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO KILL THE HEADLIGHTS. WHEN I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY THE FOLLOWING MORNING ALL SYSTEMS WERE WORKING AGAIN.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO TURN ON. AT NIGHT THIS IS A PROBLEM. THE ALARM GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES DURING THE DAY & NIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH AS OF 12/18/15.

DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. READS "DOOR AJAR" WITH DOOR CLOSED, HAVE TO REPEATEDLY OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR TO GET THE SENSOR TO READ CORRECTLY, AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. ANTI-THEFT ALARM WILL RANDOMLY ENGAGE BECAUSE THE SENSOR IS TELLING IT THE DOOR IS OPENED AFTER BEING LOCKED.
