Door ajar warning comes on which makes thee interior lights stay on, when this warning happens the doors will not lock. Tonight, it was especially dangerous when this warning happened after dark and the interior lights stayed on while driving home which is a 20 minute commute.

The door sensor to let the car know the door was closed, failed, resulting in a constant "door ajar" message. This occurred on the driver side door and started shortly after i purchased the car (used) in 2017 and was no longer covered under warranty. For the better part of the past 2 years i was able to repeatedly open/close the door until the sensor recognized that the door was actually closed, but that no longer…

Takata recall the warning light that l passenger door is ajar stays on -- even when door is closed. This apparently drained the battery; had to jump the car to get it started. The dome light stays on. This has especially been a problem for the past several weeks. This occurs whether the car is stationary or in motion.

I purchased this car used. The headlights are extremely dim and unsafe to drive at night or early morning hours. I see numerous complaints on the internet and salesman acknowledges that these are known for this but ford won't stand behind it. Now i'm struggling to find a way to resolve this.

1. The 'door ajar' sensor is telling the car that the door is always open. As a result, the interior lights stay on all the time, which causes visibility issues while driving at night. It also leaves the lights on even after the engine is turned off and doors are locked, which drains the battery, and has caused my wife to be stranded a couple of times. We replaced the switch and a year later, we are having the same…

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.…

The door sensors in this vehicle do not sense that the door is closed when it is. This leads to being unable to lock the doors while driving, it also causes the interior lights to remain on when the car is off even after the door is closed and the car is locked which drains the battery. Occasionally, the door will sense that it is closed after slamming it. This has led to an arm injury that i sustained when…

When the drivers door is shut, the sensor will show that it is still open and while driving at night, the overhead lights come on at random times and stay on sometimes one minute, sometimes 5 minutes and it makes it very difficult to see and is very dangerous. The door is shut but the door ajar light as well as interior lights come one. I have had this "fixed" by ford a year ago and it is still happening.

The left rear door ajar notification light on the dash will not go off, even though the door is shut. Which means the dome light stays on and the doors will not lock. This happened when the door was opened, but no matter how many times, or how much force is used to close the door, the notification won't go away, and the doors won't lock while in motion.
