The door locks lock and unlock all by themselves dozens of times in a row while I am driving. With this the dome light flashes off and on and the door ajar light flashes and the interior chime goes off constantly. All of this happens at the same time. This is a huge and common issue with thousands of forum posts by other owners who have spend countless $$ at mechanic's to no avail. This can cause wrecks at night it is very distracting. Especially the dome light.

Especially the dome light. Why is Ford ignoring this obvious safety design flaw? liability is yours.. there are too many complaints of this same problem for you to claim you are not aware. If someone gets car jacked while locks are freaking out you might get sued. It happens the most if someone is in passenger front seat.

Various problems with 2002 Ford Explorer. The left signal wire insulation rubbed through the boat trailer. When it shorted out the fuse blew after it totally melted the insulation off the wires through the tongue of the trailer all the way back to the left signal light. Consume noted this is a safety concern, had this been a camper a fire would've resulted.
