The drivers side door is showing that it is open randomly when I am driving down the road. (door is closed and locked) the lights and alarm will come on and makes it unable to see at night when driving. This is a safety issue and needs to be recalled due to unsafe driving conditions. The door sensor is a issue that needs to be fixed.

Door ajar lights continuously show on when all doors are closed. My interior lights will not go off and impairs my vision at night. Also because the ajar warnings are on my doors will not lock. I try to manually lock them and they automatically unlock while im driving. Not good while I have my 4 children in the car!

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 per hour to diagnose the issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Flex. The contact stated that the passenger, driver, and liftgate door sensors were constantly illuminated. The contact stated that the doors were constantly unlocked due to the failure. In addition, the windshield wipers were constantly activated despite the weather conditions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the door latch sensors failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

While driving on I-5 a heavy heavy rain was coming down and I had my wipers on the high setting and they worked for a little bit and then stopped moving at a high speed. While on the high setting they were going slower across the window then the continuous slow setting. I was unable to see and had to slow down and move over until my wipers could allow me to see properly. They continued this for the rest of my 150 mile drive moving slower on the high setting through the rain.
