The door ajar sensor on the driver side works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes. I have to open and shut the door several times until it works. If i cannot get it work then it absolutely kills my battery. This is apparently happening alot on these vehicles. *tr

The latch sensor telling the car that the door is ajar is sticking. It won't allow the doors to lock because it thinks the door is still ajar. The interior lights stay on which also drain the car's battery. The fact that my car doors won't lock as a result of this sensor issue is a safety issue for all that encounter it. *tr

The door sensor erroneously indicates door ajar. This prevents the door locks from actuating and allows children to accidentally open door when moving. Also the dome lights stay on at hours of darkness, impeding visibility. *tr

Drivers door ajar light stays on. The door is closed. It won't lock the doors when you are driving. At night this is a pain since the dome lights stay on for awhile. Tried wd40 and nothing. Ford needs to address this since there are many many complaints about this.

The door ajar switch does not work. What this has done to the vehicle is the interior lights stay on in the car well after it has been turned off. The vehicle also will not turn the interior light off when running unless you are in drive and move forward. The danger is in reversing at night. The lights do not go out whatsoever in reverse and makes it very difficult to see at night when in reverse. We have almost hit…
