My trunk kept popping open once in a while. I finally left my key fob a long way from the vehicle and it still popped open. I eat my lunch in my car at work and I was sitting there and all of the sudden the trunk popped open by itself and then I heard the door locks click open. So I decided when I finished my lunch to lock it up and put my keys back in my office. Later I walked out because someone told me my trunk was open. Not only was my trunk wide open but my door was unlocked. I was home one day and we had temperatures in the 80's that day and the car was wigging out. The key pad on the side was lighting up and fading out and the trunk was clicking like crazy (it was already in the open position) and I kept hearing the doors unlocking constantly. This must've happend all night long because my battery was dead in the morning. I made an appointment at penske Ford in la mesa, CA. I brought it in and he said he never heard of the problem. But online there are quite of few people that have this issue. He asked me about my battery because I told him it killed it and I had to charge it. He looked and it was over 5 years old. So, I replaced the battery. So, my wife told me it was wide open again this morning at 5:30 am. Now I have to bring it back to Ford. Iwith so many people having the same issue. Can't someone make them do a recall on this? why should we have to pay out of our pockets for their inability to build a quality vehicle? now I have to drop it off there and they said that they have to wait for the issue to happen so they can see for themselves. I'm officially carless until they figure it out. Nothing like spending over $22,000 on a car that I can't use. Oh. . Also it happens while I'm driving so the trunk pops open and blocks my entire rear view mirror.

Inserting key into ignition fuel pump would kick on occasionally, the doors wouldn't always unlock upon shutting car off, dash and radio delayed coming on at times upon starting, unlocking doors with key fob there would be static coming from back speakers, keyless entry would unlock but not always relock, a few times the key wouldn't start car there would be no reaction at turning over, dash would light up at times when no key was in ignition and car locked, heater would blow hot air then turn to cold as if a/c was on, one day battery was dead and had to jump it nothing was left on and car was locked.
