Just discovered that it's decided to randomly unlock the doors while it's parked. Locked it last night, walked past it this morning, door were locked. Put the trash out a while later & it was unlocked... keys nowhere near vehicle, or even touched. They were 80ft away on the other side of the house. This may have happened before when I thought I forgot to lock it.

Not surprising since many of us have had the headlights come on while parked and tailgate opens when walking by or when locking a door.

Or someone in your household is having fun at your expense.

Is it just the driver's door, or all doors?

Are you using that Ford APP too? The Ford APP has forced me to update to continue using it. Meaning, there could be security issues that need patching.

I'll check next time, I noticed because the mirrors were out.

Not using the Ford app. Coudn't get it to work after two months of faffing about & gave up

I believe the mirrors do not open back out until after the door has been opened and closed.

Great, so that's two glitches.

That's normal I believe. Whenever I open the tailgate or the front doors and close them the mirrors unfold.
