My first post and I sure need some feedback from this group.
I own 2015 Transit Connect with the two rear doors. It is a passenger version and I truly love the car. I have a small problem with the rear side by side doors. I close them, first the left door and then the right, and the right door stays just an 1/8 of an inch ajar. If I'm not paying attention, I get the car going and go and a tone that my trunk is open on my screen. The I have to stop the car on the street and go back and give the right door a firmer closing and the error message goes away.
I took it to a dealer and showed him the problem which they witnessed. They ordered a new door latch for the right door and installed after a five hour wait in their waiting room. When I got home to test the new parts it is doing the same thing.
Is this a design flaw? I'm I the only one having this issue. I hate putting additional pressure on the right side door to get it to close properly. My thought is that the door seals are new and as they get older they will lose some of their thickness and the issue might heal itself. The dealer is playing games with me. They shuffled me off the property quickly so they wouldn't have to admit that they didn't fix it. They have lost my business.
Asking for anyone else who has had the same issue and what did you do to solve it.
