The " driver door ajar" warning light remains on constantly. Being a senior citizen, i'm concerned about being car jacked when stopped because the door locks will not automatically activate when the warning light is on. Also, the interior lights remain on for a period of time which can alert a car jacker. The ford dealer estimate to repair the latch sensor is $470. *tr

Door ajar light comes on when door is obviously closed. It can take up to 10-15 slams to get the light to go off. Annoying alert tone goes off until it's closed and dome light stays on. Also, car will not lock if door does not register as closed. This problem has persisted for over a year, but oddly goes away during the winter months. Just now, my windsheild wipers won't turn off. I don't know if these issues are…
