I have a 2013 Ford Flex sel with 60k+ miles originally purchased with 13k miles in 2013. I have had major problems with my door latch. I have had issues with all doors with the exception of my left back door. I have had this issue looked at multiple times at the Ford dealership with most recently this past weekend. The mechanic attempted to clean my door latches on the passenger side (front and back) doors and the light went off for about 2 hours. This is a major safety issue. I am unable to lock my doors. I have to manually look each door by rolling down my windows and getting out and manually pushing down the lock. However, while driving my door ajar light will come back on as well as my inside lights,my doors will automatically unlock. I can't turn my alarm on and 75% of the time leave my doors unlocked. I assume my door is prompted as if someone is trying to open my door when my car is off which in return causes my alarm to go off. It has been many times when I have went to the parking garage and my lights are flashing, or I get a call that my alarm is going off, or I am awakened/startled in my house when it goes off in the garage. My concern and fear is that someone will open my door while im driving/stopped at a stop sign or red light. I have already replaced my battery and I'm sure it was due to my alarms constatnly going off or dome light/dash board coming on according to my local Ford dealership it is a long wait on the new and improved replacement latch. I have scheduledto take my car back yet again next Monday to see if I can get on the list for a new latch. I am very displeased with how Ford is handling this issue. I called them today to see if they could give me steps on how to override the door locks with no success. Iwas told to get it repaired and if they decide to recall I'll get a refund!.

The front passenger door ajar warning began showing while I was sitting in my driveway and the door has not been touched in fact there was not even a passenger in my vehicle. I tried opening and shutting the door several times and when this problem began and for about the first month the warning would reset. Since then the warning is present approximately 70% of the time. When the door ajar morning is active the interior lights stay on at low speed and regardless of speed you're unable to lock the doors. These issues are when the door ajar morning is active the interior lights stay on at low speed and regardless of speed you're unable to lock the doors which cause obvious safety and security issues as well as the added danger of not being aware of an actual door ajar. I took my Flex to summerville Ford and they acknowledge being aware of multiple Ford models with the same issue, apologized for not being able to fix the issue without my paying for it.

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.

Door ajar warning stays on for drivers door. Begin as intermittent problem resolved by opening and closing the door till the door sensor registered the door closed. Progressively got worse and 7 months later the door ajar light stays on all the time. Interior lights remain on all the time and the auto door locks do not engage when driving. I talked to my local Ford dealer who said it just needs oiled and it will fix the problem. We have oiled it and cleaned it with compressed air and it has done nothing. If Ford can't stand behind this kind of thing, I'll be buying a Hyundai or a Honda next for a better warranty and for a higher quality vehicle.

Driver door sensor failure. Have taken it to the dealer, door is closed and latching, but system doesn't think it is. Unable to lock doors, interior dome lights stay on causing visibility issues at night. Plus annoying dinging alerts in stop and go traffic.
