2013 Ford Flex

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHTS AND SOUNDS CONTINUE TO ILLUMINATE AND MAKE NOISE, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND RECLOSED MANY TIMES. IT HAS BECOME QUITE IRRITATING, AND THE DEALERSHIP 'CLEANED' THE SENSOR THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. NOW, IT ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY, WITH NEARLY 40,000 MILES ON IT, AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART ALONE COSTS $300.00. WORSE YET, THE PART IS ON BACKORDER, WHICH INDICATES THAT THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. IN FACT, I LOCATED SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE WHILE RESEARCHING MY ALTERNATIVES. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF FORD WOULD OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT AND FIX THE PROBLEM FOR ALL FLEX OWNERS. I HAD TO ELECT NOT TO HAVE IT FIXED AT THIS TIME, DUE TO THE EXPENSE AND THE INAVAILABILITY OF THE PART. MY SANITY MAY DISAGREE WITH THIS DECISION!

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND SENSOR SAID REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR. SINCE LIGHTS CAME ON IN CAR DURING THE NIGHT MY VISION WAS EFFECTED. THIS HAS NOW BECOME AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN I'M TRYING TO LOCK THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AND TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE, THAT SAID THEY COUL NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND IF IT PERSISTS THEY CAN DRIVE THE CAR FOR 30 MILES TO SEE IF IT GOES OFF AGAIN.

AT THE BEGINNING OF MAY 2015 WHEN I WOULD START DRIVING MY 2013 FORD FLEX I WOULD GET THE DOOR AJAR CHIME FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND ALL OF MY DOORS WOULD UNLOCK. I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH IT, BUT NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR IS DOING THE SAME THING AND THEY BOTH SAY THE DOOR ARE AJAR ALL OF THE TIME. I CANNOT ACTIVATE MY ALARM AT NIGHT OR MY ALARM RANDOMLY GOES OFF AND MY DOME LIGHT FOES T GO OFF FOR HOURS! MY DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ALL! IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A ISSUE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A FIX AND RAN ACROSS THIS SIGHT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT FORD HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING!!!

THIS IS THE THIRD DOOR JAM MODULE THAT HAS WENT BAD. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, PASSENGER DOOR AND NOW THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. IT SAYS THE DOOR IS NOT SHUT. FORD IS NOT WANTING TO OWN TO THIS MESS AND THE VENDOR HAS INSTALLED FAULTY DOOR JAM SWITCHES THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT DURING THE DAY HE KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON, DRAINING THE BATTERY. AT NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING IT LEAVES THE INNER LIGHTS ON AND IS HARD TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON THIS INSIDE AND AT NIGHT YOU CANNOT LOCK YOUR CAR BECAUSE IT SETS OFF THE CAR ALARM. THIS IS THE LAST FORD I WILL BUY. PLEASE MAKE A RECALL ON THIS .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FLEX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ERRONEOUSLY INDICATING THAT THE DOORS WERE NOT SECURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I HAVE TWO ISSUES WITH THIS FORD FLEX 1. DOOR IS COMPLETLY CLOSED BUT IT THINKS IT'S OPEN, THE LIGHTS STAYS ON IN CABIN AND DISTRACTING PROMPTS APPEAR ON DASH WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR ALARM SOUNDS AT NIGHT RANDOMLY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE BATTERY IS DRAINED OVER TIME SINCE THE LIGHTS STAY ON LONGER. 2. THE TRUNK DOOR DOES NOT OPEN ALL THEY UP. NO MATHER FROM WHAT BUTTON IS PRESSED, KEY, TRUNK OR FROM THE SIDE DASH THE DOOR ONLY OPENS HALF WAY AND CLOSES RIGHT BACK. WE NEED TO MANUALLY PUSH THE DOOR UP TO COMPLETLY OPEN THE TRUNK DOOR, SAME FOR CLOSING.

THE DOOR FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR WENT BAD AND TELLS CAR THAT DOOR IS AJAR. THIS WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY LAST YEAR. NOW YESTERDAY THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SENSOR. THIS WAS QUOTED TO ME AT $700. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A BAD DOOR SENSOR THAT FORD HAS PUT BAD AND FAULTY SENSORS ON. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR .THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN TOWN SAID, "THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD FLEX". THIS DOOR AJAR SENSOR KEEPS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED DRAINING THE BATTERY, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON WHEN DRIVING, AND AT NIGHT MAKES IT VERY VERY HARD TO SEE AND DRIVE. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FAULTY DOOR SENSORS.
