In motion rear brake lights sometimes do not work. In motion . Trunk unlatches unintentionally forcing myself to stop and pull over and close the trunk lid. In both situations the vehicle has warning that correctly warns of the occurring error. On more than 3 occasions recently in March of 2017.
The trunk lid opens while driving. It has happened about 7 times driving at various speeds including highway speeds. I have brought it to the Ford dealer to check for problems. No problem is ever found but it continues to happen. Note the only way to normally open the trunk is with the remote. I have tried using the spare key to determine whether it is the remote sending a signal while driving but the problem occurs with both keys. My suspicion is there is some rf signal which is causing this to occur. The latch is fine and Ford conformed no issues with the latch.

2012 Ford Focus. Consumer writes in regards to trunk lid, wiring and water flowing down rear window the consumer stated when the trunk was activated, the lid went from fully closed to fully opened at a high velocity in a very short period of time. The wiring routed to the inside of the trunk lid, was hanging down, and when it rained, water flowed down and through the gaps between the bottom of the window and the top of the trunk lid.
Body paint started to peel off of my front drivers door, it has continued to peel on all the doors and currently is now peeling off of the trunk lid. I'm told that this is apparently a rock blister effect but I've owned many a vehicle and I have never seen this happen to any vehicle of mine before. This is a Ford problem not an owner problem. Of note, I've owned Ford vehicles since 2000 and currently own 2 Ford vehicles. None of my other vehicles have ever ever shown any indication of this horrible peeling. As well, my rear doors are always becoming stuck. Once again, I've been told to oil the components. This has been done over and over with no improvement.

I bought my 2003 Ford Focus around oct 2003, since day 1 the driver's side area of the trunk gets soaked when it rains. I can't figure out where it is coming from or how the moisture gets in. Also, car had rust on the muffler and undercarriage when I drove it off of the lot the day I bought it.
When it rained water leaked inside the trunk compartment.
The trunk release button fails to work, now the lock is malfunctioning also.
