Drivers door ajar light is coming on while driving. Doors will not lock with this on which is a safety hazard. Door ajar light continues to come on and the alert chime sounds. I have not taken this vehicle in for service for this issue due to the numerous complaints i have read and ford not taking care of the cost to repair this issue.

Driver side door says it's not closed and lights stays on in dash saying door is ajar, bell rings and interior lights won't go off, after several times of slamming the light goes out. It's something to do with the lock sensor, but ford has not recalled it. I tried spraying wd- 40 in lock area really didn't help it . Was told it would cost 300.00-500.00 to repair. Come on ford?????? *tr
