Door ajar sensor is failing. Door ajar message stays on with door closed (driver's) making driving very difficult with constant warning beeps and dome light on (even at night). I have to open and shut the door multiple times very hard for it to go away. Many many people have had this issue, and apparently it progressively gets worse until they have constant beeping warning, dome light on while driving at night,…

The driver's side door ajar is constantly on. I have opened and shut the door multiple times and even tried to do what some youtube videos have shown. Dome light sometimes stays on after i park, sometimes goes off. I will have a dead battery and probably additional costs unless i want to pay $400+ to ford to fix this known issue.

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 latch won't close. Shows that door is ajar and the lights on inside won't go off because the door looks as if it's open. It happens each time the drivers side door is opened. This has been happening for a few years. In 2014, i thought ford had fixed the issue and i found out today that they only cleaned it. Having to pay $588 for a new door latch isn't good especially when there was a recall for several ford…

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…

Door ajar sensor ...this is causing my dome lights to just come on going down the road and tank goodness when this happened there wasn't another car near me because i would have crashed into them because it blinded me. Also my doors want lock when this sensor is messing up. I have already had one replaced and now another one i think this is a major problem and ford will not recognize it.

The "door ajar" light continues to activate eventhough my door is clearly closed. The passenger side was previously serviced and now the driver "door ajar" is activated. The problem is the doors will not lock when "door ajar" is activated and i have very small children. Very dangerous! I have recently discovered this is a problem with this model by ford.
