The sensor in my drivers door does not recognize the door is closed.

Also the vehicle alerts me with every bump i hit in the road that the door is ajar with a screen alert and ringing bell. I brought this to the dealership and spent $150 to have it cleaned which helped for 6…

In addition to the dead battery the dome…

Sync intermittently shuts down sometimes for days at a time. When sync shuts down, the back-up camera is non-functioning which eliminates safe backing. There is no way to see small people or items that might be directly behind the vehicle....very dangerous!!!

With the driver door closed, display shows door ajar and the dome lights are on. The car doesn't lock the doors too. It is dangerous to drive with the lights on straight in your face! This a security failure and seems to be epidemic on ford cars. Dealers are charging $400 to $500 to replace the faulty switch inside the door latch. Ford should recall as a safety matter and do the repair for free. *tr
