This is especially hazardous at night. 3. I have…

    Approximately the "door agar" warming light came on. No big deal, right? No, wrong, when this warning light comes on, there is no way to keep the doors locked while traveling in the car. This is very dangerous, kinda like not being able to wear a seat belt. So the first time this "door agar" light came on, the car was still under warranty and the local ford dealer happily replaced the switch assembly at no charge.…
