The door latch for the driver side door does not latch properly. Majority of the time it will continue to say door ajar no matter how many times you try to reopen and close the door. Can be worrisome not knowing if the door is fully closed. This just randomly started happening.

Body
The driver door latch has a censor that goes out and causes the car door to think it's open when it is actually closed. This is a safety issue as you could be driving down the road with the dome light on. Or not paying attention when it keeps beeping at you while your driving. There are thousands of cases for the car. This needs to be recalled. This is costing owners $500 for a defect in ford.

The driver side door ajar warning light illuminates randomly and stays illuminated even when the door is fully closed and locked both while the vehicle is parked and in motion. The warning chime periodically plays and the dome light stays illuminated. My vehicle was purchased as "certified pre-owned" in december 2014 which evidently did not include replacement of the known discrepant door latch component.

Driver side door ajar sensor failing. Shows door is ajar when it is not. Light will not go off which drains the battery and it affects the locking system when in drive which is a safety issue. Vehicle is a few years old with less than 45k miles. Do a search on the internet and it is easy to see it is a widespread issue that should be recalled and fixed by ford. In my opinion this is a byproduct of ford outsourcing…

There is an instrument panel alarm that says "driver door ajar" that remains despite repeated opening and closing of the driver's door. We paid almost $600 to have the sensor replaced about a year ago, and now it is doing the same thing. The dealership wants to charge us again to fix it. It is a safety issue. Not only does this alarm cause constant blinking and warning tones when driving, but the interior lights…

Faulty/failing door latch sensor triggers "door ajar" instrument panel and sound warnings while engine is on, causing doors to unlock, interior lights to come on, and continued sound warnings whenever vehicle accelerates.
