Door ajar warning indicator lights. Lights stay on and if you lock the door with key and walk away you have a dead batter they next day. Repeated shuting of door will some times will reset door ajar but it eventually fails completely and repeated slamming of door does nothing. Pulled fuse to interior lights to keep battery from dying.

After about 40,000 miles, my car started alerting me that my drivers door was ajar when clearly it was closed. I closed it again and again, but the alert still won't go off. The interior dome lights stay on and the doors do not lock after moving forward down the road. This can be a real safety issue! I'm afraid someone might carjack me with my doors not locking! Also, as i stop at stop signs or stop lights, it…

The door ajar sensor is malfunctioning on both the driver door and driver side passenger door. It is so bad on the passenger door that i do not even use it any more because it is so hard to get the light to go off, since it stays on even though the door is closed. The driver door is also extremely hard to get the sensor to go off, even after opening and closing the door many times. I have also tried flipping the…

The door sensor does not register the door as being closed, i have taken the car to the ford dealer several times, both while still under warranty and now no longer under warranty, and the problem recurs on both front doors. This is a well known flaw, with youtube videos on repair and service. Should be subject to a recall.

Driver door ajar alarm. Door is closed but switch is not made up. This prevents the doors from being locked from inside the vehicle. If the lock switch is actuated, 2 seconds later it unlocks all doors. This could be hazardous with small children in the vehicle or when driving in a bad neighborhood. Ford has known about this problem for years but refuses to recall because it is not deemed a safety issue by them.

Although the door is closed and latched the sensor does not operate correctly and reports the door is still ajar. There is no apparent override for this which causes the dome lights to remain on and does not allow the doors to lock.

My driver side door ajar error message stays on when the key is on and when driving. This is a safety issue as i cannot reset it and a warning beep continues as the error cannot be cleared. Started a month ago and would randomly appear now it stays on. Also when i lock my car now with the remote it beeps twice not once. I feel there could be an issue with security now too.
