Door ajar on my driver door has been continuously on even though the door is closed. This occurs in all situations (driving on a highway and streets, turning, and stationary). This has been ongoing since may 22. The door ajar sound continuously going off has caused issues when i turn my signal light on at a stop sign. The door ajar alarm overrides the sound of the turn blinker. This has caused me at times to look at…

Repeated problem with this vehicle. First door ajar light has been repaired because it would not shut off the interior lights (not legal to drive with them on) and therefore drained battery. Safety hazard. Ecoboast failed and we were told by the dealer that it was a safety hazard and that we could not drive the car....big expense! Now a second door ajar light won't go off....doors do not lock while the vehicle is…

The driver door and rear driver door "door ajar" notification's do not turn off, even when the doors are closed. This causes the dome lights to stay on which drains the battery, and then the vehicle will not start later. This also prevents the doors from locking while driving. This is an ongoing issue and can not seem to be resolved, even after a mechanic cleaned and lubricated the door latches.

Door sensor indicates that door is ajar when the door is securely closed. In my case specifically the drivers side rear door. Problem was intermittent at first. Now indicator light is always on. The inside lights stay illuminated (as if a door was open) and go out a minute after driving. The alarm will not set up as the vehicle thinks a door is ajar.

The "door ajar" light will not shut off even when the door is closed and this leaves the interior lights on which is a nighttime driving hazard. The dealer says the latch is defective and ford will not assist in the repair. This happens when the car is moving and stationary. Due to the high cost (over $550.00) people are going to ignore the repair and then drive impaired. So how many accidents are required before…
