Door ajar light stays on regardless of how many times i close the door. The door is closed but the sensor stays on and the light inside the car will not turn off (due to the car thinking the door is open)--not sure if the door does not close all the way. Seems unsafe to drive with the car this way since i don't know if it is securely closed.

Electrical System
Driver door interlock switch consistently fails to work. This causes the interior lights to remain on until the car begins to travel forward and reach a certain speed. At night it is impossible to see anything behind you when backing up with the lights on. It has already caused an accident when i backed into a parked car. This is a very dangerous safety hazard as any person walking behind you could be hit.

After closing my car door it still says that the door is open and the lights stay on, even though the door is closed. I also can not lock my car door and i have to close or slam it repeatedly before it finally says it's closed and the lights go out. This has sometimes taken up to 20 minutes. Got it fixed once and it started doing this again within 6 months. It is very frustrating and being that the door won't lock…

Rear driver's side door latch is defective. Door is shut but has door ajar alarm and dome lights stay on and car alarm goes off while parked when door is ajar. It conveniently went out right after 50,000miles and warranty was up. Ford should recall this as it seems to be very common problem but unfortunately a lot of people don't know about the procedure to file a complaint. The dealership wanted $100 just to look…

This is the 2nd time in 3 years that i have had an issue with my driver door saying it is ajar when it is actually closed.

Last week i reported a fire that destroyed my car only seconds after i saw smoke and got out. After reading all the 'door ajar' complaints i wanted to add that i too had a problem with the "door ajar" warning happening over the last 6 months or so. It wasn't continuous, sometimes when i slammed the door really hard it would go off, but when leaving the car at night in the driveway sometimes i'd have to slam the door…

Ford needs to recall the door latch & ajar switch assembly. This is the second time this assembly has failed and i know numerous others with fords with same assembly that has failed in other models. When they go bad you don't know if the door is shut or open, the interior lights won't go out (thus drawing on the battery), and you can't trust the sensor to know if the door is shut and locked or not. It is a bad…
