2013 Ford Flex

AS I'M DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND IT SLOWS DOWN MY CAR TO TWO MILES PER HOUR ONCE I TURN IT BACK OFF AND BACK ON IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN BUT AS SOON AS I DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF MILES OR NOT EVEN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND MY CAR GO STRAIGHT TO DRIVING TO MILES PER HOUR I WANT TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH THIS AND WHY IS IT DOING IT

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREET, A MAINTENANCE INDICATOR LIT UP ON THE DASH AND THERE WAS NO POWER (ACCELERATION.) VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF, BUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NO LONGER OPERATE OR REV THE ENGINE. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURNED OFF. UPON RESTART VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. TURNED AROUND TO HEAD HOME. PULLED OUT FROM SIDE STREET AND IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL. HAD THERE BEEN TRAFFIC COMING A SEVERE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. AGAIN, TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING RESOLVED (TEMPORARILY) THE ISSUE. IN THE NEXT 3 MILES TO GET HOME, IT OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES. FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT TO BE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED. FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND HAS "COVERED" SOME MODELS, BUT STILL IGNORES THE DANGER.

THE DOOR FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR WENT BAD AND TELLS CAR THAT DOOR IS AJAR. THIS WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY LAST YEAR. NOW YESTERDAY THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SENSOR. THIS WAS QUOTED TO ME AT $700. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A BAD DOOR SENSOR THAT FORD HAS PUT BAD AND FAULTY SENSORS ON. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR .THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN TOWN SAID, "THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD FLEX". THIS DOOR AJAR SENSOR KEEPS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED DRAINING THE BATTERY, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON WHEN DRIVING, AND AT NIGHT MAKES IT VERY VERY HARD TO SEE AND DRIVE. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FAULTY DOOR SENSORS.

2013 FORD FLEX MODEL POS, REAR PASSENGER DOOR AJAR SENSOR WAS REPAIRED DUE TO BEING DEFECTIVE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AROUND 32000 MILES I BELIEVE, AT ROUGHLY 45000 MILES THE DRIVERS DOOR SENSOR WAS STARTING TO FAIL, IT WOULD REQUIRE 2 SHUTS TO SHUT OFF. BATTERY KEPT DYING, GOT IT TESTED SAID GOOD BUT KEPT DYING, DID NOT THINK IT WAS A ISSUE WITH THE DOOR, BUT ONE NIGHT I WENT OUT TO GET SOMETHING FROM MY TRUCK AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW EVERY LIGHT IN THE THING IS ON. WHY? YOU ASK BECAUSE THE DRIVERS DOOR IS APPARENTLY AJAR, BUT ITS NOT. I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE MORNING BEFORE I SEEN THE LIGHTS ISSUE $200 GONE. CONTACTED FORD BY EMAIL RECIEVED NO RESPONSE, CONTACTED VIA FACEBOOK AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WILL TRY TO HELP, RECIEVED A CALL THE NEXT DAY NOPE WE WONT HELP YOU. FOR A $45000 TRUCK IT SURE IS MADE OF LOW QUALITY MATERIAL. I WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING FORD TO ANYONE. WORRIED THE AIRBAGS WONT DEPLOY PROPERLY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, IF THE TRUCK THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT MY BATTERY WILL DIE ANYWHERE I STOP FOR A FEW HOURS.
