The rear window latch on my 2016 Expedition EL XLT has started popping open when I start the vehicle. Except if I lock all the doors before starting the vehicle, it doesn’t happen. The dealer had it for a day, replaced the battery, and it stopped. Now it’s happening again. Something needs to be replaced, but what? Very strange.

I have the same problem on my 2016 Expedition. Has anyone figured out a fix?


Others have posted on this forum about a defective window release switch (the membrane covered switch on the right side of the outside of the rear hatch).
