    Warning light shows driver door open when the door is really closed. The dome light will stay on and the doors will not lock while in gear. This will drain the battery and is a safety issue since door will not lock.

    Vehicle was in motion when all systems, including power steering stopped during a left turn. Upon inspection, battery was dead. Prior to this, the "door ajar" warning indicator was light, despite the door being latched. Certified ford service center said that the door was indeed latched, so there was no safety issue there. However, didn't inform that it would drain battery. Occasionally, the vehicle parking…

    The "door ajar" light stays on after closing the door. Per social media it is a known and common problem. Because the estimate for diagnostics and replacement (quoted by ford dealership) of a faulty switch in the door is approximately $525.00, there are social media suggestions on how to disable the switch (cutting a wire, etc.). Disabling the switch could cause a safety hazard. I think a recall should is in order.…

    Re: pe16012 i too am experiencing the door ajar light. There are two more safety issues you fail to consider as well as the extent of the problem. One, when the door ajar light is on and the vehicle is in motion the auto lock feature of the doors is lost. Aside from the issue of the doors potentially opening there is the potential danger to the occupants of unwanted access by unscrupulous people. The second issue…

    You can be driving and the door ajar light will come on which turns the interior lights on making driving at night very difficult due to the unexpected lighting that reduces visibility greatly at an instance. Also it may take several attempts closing the door to get the door ajar light to go out causing one to wonder if the door is truly closed or not.

    Left front door sensor regularly indicates door ajar, when it is not. Effects whether i can lock doors to protect children and other passengers. Also adversely impacts battery life; if sensor incorrectly indicates door ajar, the interior lights remain on after departing the vehicle, thus draining battery and increasing likelihood of not being able to start later.

    Door latch does not properly secure. Door ajar sensor light is always on. Interior lights remain on and vehicle alarm will not activate because door locks do not engage. This happens constantly; when the vehicle is in motion, standing, parked, engine running and engine not running. Low tire pressure sensor light also remains on at all times, even though it appears tires are inflated to proper pressure.

I can no longer lock my car at night because the alarm will go off due to this issue and wake everyone up.
