I did a search but was unable to locate anything that I noticed directly correlated to the issue I am seeing...
A brief history. I bought this car used less than 2yrs ago. It came with one key FOB only and no card with the master code for the door keypad. No biggie. I never used it on my Escape, I have no intentions of using it on this car.
Fast forward to now. I walked out to my car Sat am and as I near it, it unlocks on it on. OK I know I disabled the autolock/unlock feature let me check just in case. Autolock was still off, but auto unlock was active. Weird, so I disabled it and went to the store. I hit lock and go into the grocery store. Coming out of store and walking to my car the same thing repeats itself. As I get near it auto unlocks. Weird I though, but I drove home and went inside not thinking twice about it.
Sunday the wife and I go out. We take the Escape. As we walk by the SHO it unlocks again. I grumble and lock it with the FOB as we pull away. When we return 4hrs later I notice the outside Keypad on the door is lit up well before we pull into the driveway. It is dark and that is a bright red color. It is hard to miss! It starts flashing and goes solid, flashing and then solid. I get out of the Escape and the SHO unlocks. I press lock on the FOB as we walk into the house still grumbling.
This am it does the usual unlock as I near it. I take out my key, press lock on the FOB out of spite, and not even 2 seconds later the car unlocks itself again. I get in and go to work. I am about half a mile from the house and the car tried to lock the doors. I leave work and the usual unlocking as I near my car occurs. I start the drive home and the car locks the doors again as I am leaving work. I check again during the ride home and everything is OFF as far as auto unlock and auto lock go on the settings. At a stop sign I notice the door panel is lit up red and flashing. I get home, close the car door, press lock on the FOB, and before I can get 2 step away the car has unlocked itself and is trying to continuously do so VERY rapidly. I heard at least 4-5 clicks in less than 2 seconds. I walk away a few feet and hit lock on the FOB and it locks w/o unlocking. I wait 30 mins and leave my key inside. As I walk around to the drivers side my door key pad is lit up red. The car is locked though. I go back in and get my FOB. I walk out and as I near the car it unlocks again. I press lock on the FOB and it locks and then unlocks itself seconds later. Again I hear it trying to unlock the car very rapidly a few seconds later even though it is unlocked.
Any clue what could be going on with this? I have went through the lock/security section of the manual, but nothing seems to line up to what I am encountering (at least to me it doesnt!) I dont keep really anything valuable in the car outside of car seats for the kids, but I dont like the idea of it unlocking on its own especially after I try and lock it!
