Doors (driver side back door, passenger side back door) show door ajar warnings even when the doors are properly shut. This fault continues to run my battery down, and eventually forced me to purchase a new battery. I read similar complaints, and as a dedicated Ford brand purchaser I am very upset this issue was not recalled and corrected. The fault activates upon starting my vehicle or while driving. The lights continually staying on causes the battery to drain and eventually die!!! this is not a fault caused by owner error, and I strongly believe Ford should recall and replace the faulty door latch assemblies!

Vehicle registers door adjar constantly. Causes dome lights to stay on even while driving, can't lock door, and battery goes dead. This is an issue! I saw there was an investigation but apparently nothing has been resolved. The problem started gradually and progressed to always. One time after the battery died I had a friend jump it and the cables started on fire! unsure if this is related but the 12volt plug in the dash stopped working and the heater ac HVAC also went out previous to this. What a pain...
