Scary situatuon child locks

[Stache12]

Haven't seen this covered before, but anyone with small children this should be a huge concern. I was dropping my 15 year old at the movies tonight with my 3 year old in the back car seat. When coming to a stop to drop her off traveling around 10mph, I got the rear door ajar chime. My 3 year old was able to unlock the rear door and OPEN it while I was still moving. When I came to a stop the rear door opened. Just something to be mindful of with little kids in the in the back seat.

Update
Looked at the child locks last night in the door. driver side was engaged, passenger was not. I assumed they would be engaged from factory. So something for people taking delivery to look for so they don't have to learn my lesson the hard way.

Yes it is a serious issue, no it was t quiet. I got snail mail and it shows up in my Ford Pass account. I would check that your addresses are up to date with Ford and you have the FP app.

I took delivery July 12th, so i guess no email from Ford since I wasn't an owner yet. I don't see anything on the app that talks about recalls.

Should look look like this in your app- I think recall predated your delivery date. I am surprised the dealer didn't catch it. Have you added the VIN to your ford pass account?

Yeah all of my fords have recalls

A co-worker asked me today if mine was recalled for this, as we were standing next to my 2dr.

Interestingly enough, it shows there are no current recalls on my 2022.

Go to the NHTSA site and enter your VIN.

Recalls are handled through governmental procedures. There is no "quiet" about it. Are you saying that you had the child locked engaged properly and the door was still able to be opened?

Sounds like someone needs to sit in the middle seat.

When I came to a stop the rear door opened. I'm researching the manual and I don't see anything about child locks. Now I see last month Ford quietly put out a recall for 4 door broncos to fix it. Just something to be mindful of with little kids in the in the back seat.

Are you saying you can't figure out how to enable the child locks, or your child lock malfunctioned? The way you wrote it above, it looked like the former.

You should have a recall for child safety locks and the windshield issue

Windshield issue?!

 

[shoelessjoe]

Windshield issue?!

Adhesive issue. They have to remove the windshield and the Adhesive and put new Adhesive in and then install the windshield
