    The drivers door door ajar light stays was staying on at all times with the door shut. Had to replace the door latch assembly to make the issue go away. Potentially a serious safety issue if the door latch is malfunctioning.

    Door ajar light started coming on for driver's side rear door. You could get out and slam the door and it would go out. This has been steadly getting worse. Now anytime you get in the car, you do not have to open the rear door and the door ajar light comes on and the inside dome lights come on. I can say "ok" to the notice and the message will disappear but the small car indicator will stay on on the dash. The real…

    The driver side door is always ajar. The driver ajar light stays on at all times. This causes the dome lights to stay on at all times and run the batter dead. Useless to purchase anew battery! Also, this causes the security system to not work and i have tried the wd 40 thing and anything else that has been suggested to me and nothing works. Battery is always dead and recharging and jumping all the time. This has…

    The driver's door sensor is malfunctioning. Causes a hazard as the interior dome lights remain on (a nasty condition at night), and the doors will not lock using the interior locking control switch (nor do they lock automatically when underway).

    My vehicle displayed the door ajar alarm after the door had been shut securely. This occurred intermittently for two days, and then began to occur every time i got in the vehicle. A couple days later it went back to being intermittent. I would not get the notification when i first got in the vehicle, but then the alarm would go off while i was driving.

    Driver side front door sensor incorrectly senses door is open when it is actually closed causing the inability to lock any of the vehicles doors. Dome light remains on when driving. The inability to lock any of the doors is a serious safety concern since it could enable anyone to gain access to the interior of the car and the driver has no way to lock them out.

    Door ajar sensor stuck on "open" for driver's side front and rear doors. As a result, dome lights stay on causing difficulty seeing at night, and inability to lock doors while in motion. Also, drains battery and has stranded my wife multiple times. Repair is very costly and as i understand it, the replacement part is just as susceptible to the problem as the original equipment. Ford needs to be responsible for this…
