The 2 front door switches work sometimes. When parked the car thinks the doors are open and keeps the lights on. Sometimes for no reason the interior lights turn on and it drains the battery. Plus when the switches are not working the car does not think that it is locked and will beep twice when locking the car. When the switches have failed the doors will not lock when driving. I have been stranded because the…

The drivers side "door ajar" indicator light will not go off after car is started. This affects the interior lights and parking lights after the car is turned off. Most immediate affect is a drained/dead battery. Also safety concerns because interior lights remain on at night for some time making visibility difficult when beginning to initially drive.

Door ajar lights stay on which causes automatic door locks to fail, dome lights to remain on while driving as well as when vehicle is parked and turned off. When driving this causes a safety hazard because anyone can enter the car at a stop sign or light and cause harm to vehicle occupants. Additionally, dome lights stuck on while driving also poses a safety hazard. When vehicle is off and dome lights stay on, this…

Door ajar warning light remains on, although door is completely shut. This has been happening for several months. I've noticed it happens more often if the vehicle is not level. Also, the car alarm goes off randomly

Driver side door ajar always present. Causes a variety of issues from not being able to lock/unlock car hands-free, autolock when driving doesn't work, and recently, the alarm goes off randomly. This really is a problem. Wouldn't buy a ford again based on the electrical issues with this car that don't seem to be willing to be addressed.

The drivers side door latch sensor does not recognize the door being closed. "door ajar" comes on, interior lights stay on, can't lock the doors. I slam the door repeatedly to get the light to occasionally turn off. Ive had it fixed twice, once at my own cost and it is happening again for a third time. It is not safe and it is frustrating ford refuses to help

Door ajar switch failure which causes error notification and the interior lights to remain on which can lead to battery drainage, failure, or damage. Ultimately, this becomes a safety hazard due to possibility of becoming stranded in an unsafe location or unpopulated area.

Due to the latch mechanism on the doors, the computer thinks the doors are still open and the lights inside do not turn off which makes it very difficult to see and drive when the interior lights of the car are on. Computer keeps saying "door ajar". The dealership wants to charge $600 to replace the latch mechanism and they don't guarantee that the problem doesn't happen again

After using the passenger door, the door ajar light comes on even though the door is clearly closed. The door needs to be opened and closed for the light to turn off. When you turn the car off and the door ajar light is on, the dome light will stay on and drain the battery and the door does not lock.
