    Rear hatch motion sensitivity

    Oh, and, yes, I agree that the double-honk, engine start-stop, and a host of other "nanny" features are quite annoying. It would be nice if there were a settings menu that allowed you to turn off various features if you don't want to use them. Oh, and since this is an ST let's have an option...

    Rear hatch motion sensitivity

    Thanks! I didn't go back to your original post in the other thread to see your pictures but now I did. So, the box I see is the junction/controller box and the sensor(s) plug into it. I see that in earlier Fords there were two motion sensors, looking something like two 1-foot-long flat...

    Same in Los Angeles! Leave the fob in the car at the home improvement store, which has trailer-mounted camera arrays and roving security, and your car will be gone before you get out of the store.

    Rear hatch motion sensitivity

    So, is it the black box located on the top of the rear facia on the passenger's side? Knowing that everything on the car is connected via CANBUS (or whatever the system is now) I'm concerned about unplugging it and causing some kind of system error. Did you just unplug it or did you have to...

    Rear hatch motion sensitivity

    So, you don't actually know where the sensor is or how to adjust it. The good thing about your comment is that you did inspire me to search and test rather than just gripe that I should be able to turn off that useless feature. There is a cigarette-carton-size plastic box mounted on the...

    Rear hatch motion sensitivity

    Actually, I did get knocked to the ground a couple of times. It isn't like I'm just standing their and the door knocks me down; it's that I am bent over loading or unloading stuff while the door is coming down and the force of me rising up and the door coming down knocks me down. Maybe you can...

    Rear hatch motion sensitivity

    I hate that feature and am tired of getting hit by a closing tailgate or having it open at the most inopportune times. FORD NEEDS TO PROVIDE A SOFTWARE FIX! The darn thing opens when I walk by it in the garage and then it hits the garage door, when I wash the car it opens and water gets inside...
