howie411 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 So I've been having issues with this recently. Unlocking the door seems to be sporadic within the last 3 weeks, sometimes I have to pull the keys out of my jacket pocket. (maybe the cold weather?) For locking this rarely if ever works and has been like this since I got the Escape. Anyone else having issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapism Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hmm, trying to understand what you have written. So the doors are not unlocking when you walk up to the vehicle and slip your hand behind the handle? I find if I do this action too quickly, trying to slip my hand behind the handle and pull on it at the same time to open the door, that I have problems. If I give it a momentary pause and let the doors unlock, then pull, I get better results. As far as pushing the black button on the handle to lock the doors, I have no problems at all. But I sort of noticed its a little more finicky lately. Don't know if its cold-weather related. I think what my issue is, is that my kids are pulling the handle on the opposite side a little too fast thus confusing the system momentarily.

seamusbleu Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Has anyone else noticed the door handle starting to stick a little after opening the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schield Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Has anyone else noticed the door handle starting to stick a little after opening the door? All my door handles stick open somtimes. Especially annoying when trying to close the door, it won't latch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digijay Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 All my door handles stick open somtimes. Especially annoying when trying to close the door, it won't latch. I had the dealer lube up the back door handles for this issue, now happening to the front door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digijay Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's been an average of minus -5c (around 23f) lately and I've noticed that the unlock feature (when touching the door handle with fob in pocket) isn't working very well. Works maybe 1 in 5 times at this point. I wonder how well this technology was tested in the cold weather... and if I can expect more technology failure?

transitman Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's been in the single digits and teens (F) here and mine has worked every time, with and without using the remote start. I park in a heated garage at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akray99 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Just noticed mine starting to do that. Cold weather and snow hit and now I have to take the FOB out of my pocket and press the unlock key. Supposed to warm up the next few days. I'll see what happens then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
