Door ajar light stays on. This causes all dome lights to stay on, at night impairs vision when backing up. Makes driving very unsafe for first few yards, dome and map lights then go off. This is very unsafe and i have had one latch replaced. Now another is doing it. Ford dealer refused to fix it again, will cost about $300.00 each time. I feel ford has know of this problem for some time and should fix all doors on…

On then next power up, it would disable bluetooth and not allow…

The navigation is probably the most user unfriendly unit we have ever used and have written three times to correct the bad information in it; i.e. Takes you to the wrong location. A navigational system that cannot be trusted is worse than not having one at all. There are many problems with this navigation system in addition to the other 'sensor' safety goodies on this vehicle. The bliss is a safety hazard;…
