I left my house in the morning on 11/6 and after a short drive the "awd off" and a "little wrench" light came on and the car lost power and just stopped in the middle of the street since i was trying to go up a hill. Thankfully no one was behind me!! It started to run very rough so i turned it off quickly, waited a few seconds and restarted it. The car then ran ok and got me to work and home again but when my…

It again failed in jan 2017 and finally it failed completely march 2017. I never received any…

The door sensor is constantly indicating the door is open even when closed and sealed tight. The inside dome lights remain on because of this and you cannot see through you rear view mirror especially during night driving.

Passenger door ajar warning began to come on in october 2015, even when the passenger door was shut. This has resulted in the dome lights staying on when i begin to drive the car. This creates a safety issue at night, as it has a very negative impact on my vision until the dome lights go off. When i park the car, shut it off, and close all doors, the interior lights stay on because of this problem. This has resulted…

Door ajar warning - my front, driver's side door constantly states that it is ajar. This causes the interior lights to remain on longer than necessary, the doors will not lock while the vehicle is in motion and the door ajar warning remains on at all times. Others have suggested using wd40 and lubricants to clean the sensor. I've tried this, and it worked for a few times, but this is no longer working.

Summary: while getting in my car i realized after i shut the door at still says door ajar on dash. This is getting worse becuse is not allow you to lock doors when you are driving. How is possible that this keep continue in the latest models also, what kind of engineers have ford that they can not fix this small issue that can cause big problems in a case of an acccident.

Drivers door ajar alarm is active even though the door is closed, this will not allow the doors to be locked while the car is i motion. This is the second time this problem has occurred within the last 2 years. The repair requires that the door lock mechanism be replaced...ford needs to determine why this lock unit keeps failing!

The door ajar sensor does not register that the door is closed.

Electrical System
Passenger door ajar alert is on constant delay. The door is closed but the sensor will not go off. This leaves the overhead lights on which create a visibility issue at night. This alert also prevents the doors from locking. Once the vehicle is turned off the computer and lights stay on for another 10 minutes before turning off which also drains the battery.

While driving several times, the car would stall out. The awd and wrench light would come on. Unable to accelerate or drive any further. I was almost hit by other vehicles twice trying to coast to the side of the road. Took it to a ford dealership out of town and was found to have a defaulted throttle body. Have noticed the same complaints about this problem online. Thinking there should be a recall on this part…

The driver's side door sensor is not working. Door shows open, and the interior lights won't turn off. Won't lock doors and several other problems. From all the feedback i've read, sure would like to see ford do the right thing and issue a recall on this problem. Thanks!

The driver side door ajar will not go away. The sensor seems to be broken for this and through my research is a very common problem. This cause the dome lights to stay on, hindering visibility while driving at night. Further, the lights both inside/outside as well as the console stay on for 10 minutes if door is closed and locked. This in turn drains the battery sometimes requiring a boost.

The door ajar sensor keeps alerting - although door is not ajar - when car sits for any period of time this drains the battery. Have had to replace battery twice. Too expensive to have dealer repair.
