WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I'M GETTING A RED LIGHT THAT A PICTURE SHOWS UP WITH ALL OF MY DOORS OPEN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO NORTGATE FORD IN CINCINNATI BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM. MY ESCAPE IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY AND THEY WON'T FIX IT. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH EVEN MY HUSBAND DRIVING MY ESCAPE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO WHEN I'M DRIVING.
