Door lock can be a safety issue for many. Only 1 lock to 4 doors that lock/unlock button is in dashboard just before the radio. Vehicle was parked. Key was not on ignition I got in vehicle shut the door and locked it. I misplaced my keys inside car I tried getting out by pressing unlock. While the ignition was off and vehicle did not unlock no sound nothin. I panicked none of the door wouldn't open until I found key and turned ignition to open doors. Sometimes it does open but I can't imagine if my child would get stuck in the car for not having door locks.
I had to have the transmission replaced after owning the car a few months. At only 30k miles. Thank god it was still under warranty. However, since then, the car has continued to malfunction. I have not taken it into a dealer since because of the other comments and complaints I have seen regarding this car. The car continues to jerk forward when moving from a stop. The car constantly shudders when driving. The car hesitates when accelerating. I even had to pull the fuse out for the radio because the speakers would constantly pop, even with the radio off. I truly believe there is an issue even with new transmissions in this car. If the transmission is replaced, the same problems should not continue. I do not have the time nor the money to keep fixing something that is not fixable. I will continue to drive a car that I feel unsafe in until I cannot anymore. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. On the "when did this happen" field, I put today's date because it happens every day.
I am getting a loud static popping sound from the radio. . Radio turns off and on . Lights inside the dashboard flash on and off. Headlights dim. . The noise is very loud and scary. It happens intermitting no special time . . At times makes the noise and the car isn't even on. It has happened when I am driving and at times when I open the car door. I never know when its going to happen.
My door will not stay shut. I can close it but the latch doesn't lock and I'll have to duct tape the door closed to get it to the dealership for repair. The problem occurred at home when I opened the door to get stuff out the backseat, then tried to close it and it would not lock. I've rarely used this rear passenger door since I'm the only user of this vehicle and use the hatchback trunk with the seats down, so I reach in out through the trunk mostly.
Over the last 2 months, the radio and instrument dashboard have been flashing intermittently and car losing power. Brought to Ford dealership but they couldn't duplicate the problem during test drive. In addition to the problems listed earlier, now the tcs off keeps on flashing even when car is idle.
