Went out to the car this morning, only to find all 4 windows wide open! It was still locked, and there was no sign that the alarm had gone off. Luckily it was a dry night and there was no damage. I simply put the key fob in, started the engine and closed the windows, and they stayed shut.
It is going for a service on Wednesday so I will mention it, but I suddenly don't trust it.
Am I the first with this problem?

you tried a reset of all four windows (its in the handbook)

If you keep the unlock button on the remote depressed, all the windows open. However, if you do not open any doors, the car will automatically lock the doors. I wonder if the key fob has been been accidentally trapped by something. Equally, keep the lock button depressed and all the window close.

Hi pressureman-Thanks for your help, I feel a right wally now! Just been out and did what you suggested and it did exactly what you said. Only had the motor 4 years and learnt something about it!! lol.
Must remember to read the handbook more.

This is a feature of many Ford (or ex Ford) group cars, Ford, Volvo, Mazda, Jaguar etc. VW group cars do it, too. Probably others too... Trevor

System is called Global Closing, Ford speak.
Hold button down and it will close any window left open without having to open car and switch on again.
Similarly if you play pocket billiards with keys you will find all windows open when you return to car. All FL2's (3) Gone

Every so often our 2005 Focus does this, and I don't mean the global opening system. I've got back to the car, admittedly on only 3 or 4 occasions in 5 years, and they've been wide open Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

The global closing and global opening is my best party trick when folks ask about the new car. That and the folding back wing-mirrors. Simple stuff and probably on a few cars now, but certainly not completely common. 1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.

I'm sure my Jeep Cherokee had something like this, and that was an M Reg. Probably didn't weork properly though, like most of the rest of the car.

Great feature but no so great if you sit on your keys as this can easily occur. Happened once to me - went to my car and all four windows were down!

Still could be worse, one of my work colleagues has got and Audi with a powered boot release, same sort of scenario, sat on his keys and accidently activated the boot release. When he was leaving work he noticed his boot up in the air he also discovered that his golf clubs have left work earlier than he had!!!  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
