    Door ajar light keeps coming on. Ford fixed at around 38,000 miles now it has come back. I was told they would do the cheap fix and it would return and that has been the case now i am out of warranty. Ford this is a safety issue and should be a recall. If the dome light stays on at night or doors wont lock this is a huge liability. Also its sets off the alarm and drains my battery.

    The doors sensors of the driver and passenger doors are faulty, causing the car to register them as "open" all the time. This causes door locks to default to unlocked, even while driving, regardless of speed. This causes a fall hazard, a carjacking hazard, and an abduction hazard for me and my children. It also causes the overhead lights to stay on while beginning to drive until the car reaches speeds over 10 mph.…
