I own a 2018 Ford EcoSport, and I-??ve been experiencing an issue with the swing gate. While driving, I-??ll randomly get a notification that the gate is ajar, even though I haven-??t opened it. If the vehicle is locked, the gate stays shut, but if it-??s unlocked, the swing gate will sometimes open while I-??m on the road. This issue happens more often when I-??m driving on bumpy or uneven surfaces. It-??s become a frequent problem, and I-??m concerned about the safety risk.

Tailgate door unlatches while driving making the door ajar warning light appear on dash. The door has flung open, while driving. But usually only Makes internal cabin lights turn on. Door opens. While driving. Potentially can cause things to fall out of car while driving, could cause a wreck with cars behind me. It has not been recreated on command, but has happened many times. Dealership has inspected multiple times but no solution or anything found.the door ajar warning light comes on when the door latch fails. Warning light only appears when the issue happens. This happens once a week at least for the last 2 years
