The drivers side door ajar sensors have been causing problems for the past month. They are covered under my warranty, however i have to pay a $100 deductible to get this fixed. The representative, john, said that ford has issued a notice about them however no recall. He said there are a large number of cars experiencing this issue... So i'm confused about why there is not a recall. Please help. Thank you! *tr

Driver door ajar warning light stays lit even though the door is closed. This creates safety problems at night since the interior lights stay on. This can be especially concerning for some that may be bothered by more light inside the vehicle and for those vehicles that have tinted windows. This problem first occurred with the vehicle about 29 months old and at about 39,700 miles. The door latch was replaced at that…

All of this results in a drain on the battery. It takes slamming the driver door to the point you are afraid that…

I was rear-ended at a pedestrian crosswalk by a teen texting on his smartphone while driving at the speed of about 40mph. The impact caused me to smash into another car in front of me. I wasn't injured because i braced myself for impact looking up through my mirrors. The airbag light came on as if they airbags were about to deploy on the dash board but they simply didn't deploy. When i was driving home the car…

Door ajar light comes on with all doors closed. The drivers door is the one affected. This turns on the dome light which can cause the battery to drain leaving a person stranded. Also, it causes the brake and parking lights to come on with no one in the vehicle. The door ajar light also prevents the doors from locking with the key in the ignition. The door ajar light comes on whether the car is turned on or not. The…

I have never had any problems with my door on my…
