The driver door light stays on door ajar

- Arlington, WA, USA

The rear left door "door ajar" indicator would show that the door was open, even when slammed shut. At first I had to slam the door harder, but after a while even that didn't work. When that didn't work, it became an issue because my interior lights wouldn't go off after leaving the car. I had to break the part to get my lights to go off so I didn't drain my battery overnight.

My wife was driving to work after dropping our 2 year old off at grandmas. She went to slow for a stale green light and the brake pedal went to the floor. Luckily she was almost to work at this point. We had the vehicle towed to my shop. Replace the brake booster because it has a known issue ( no recall just warranty extension), also replaced the master cylinder because this was clearly a hydraulic failure in the brake system. Driving the vehicle home that night with a good pedal until I get to the off ramp, at 70 miles an hour there is no longer any brake pedal and had to use the transmission to safely slow the vehicle. Now my wife is terrified to drive her vehicle in fear that the pedal is there one minute and gone the next.

The door ajar sensor is always on. When I start driving the lights are on until I move a few feet. I am not able to lock my doors or use my remote start. It has killed my battery. When my car is parked and turned off the lights will come on and off randomly.

Filed door ajar complaint with nhts September 24, 2014 #10638797. Had problem repaired March 15, 2015. Cost $245.93. Same issue occuring again. This time the door ajar warning will not go off unless the car is in gear and we open the door and close it. Not safe to be traveling and opening and closing a door to get door ajar warning to turn off.

Driver's side door sensor. Vehicle warning light days driver's door is open when it is actually closed. Problem prevents auto door locks to engage and keeps interior lights on when door is locked and ignition is off causing battery drain.

Door ajar issue. Door is latched properly, but the sensor is faulty.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

Left rear passenger door is ajar. Drivers door is ajar. Lights won't go off because the sensors say the doors are open. I believe they are shut. This has killed my battery. It happens frequently causing stress not knowing if my car is going to start in the morning

Door ajar notification stays on when door is closed, running, and while driving. This causes the lighting to remain on thus draining the battery.

Door ajar light stays on even when their doors are certainly closed.

Door ajar sensor is failing. Door ajar message stays on with door closed (driver's) making driving very difficult with constant warning beeps and dome light on (even at night). I have to open and shut the door multiple times very hard for it to go away. Many many people have had this issue, and apparently it progressively gets worse until they have constant beeping warning, dome light on while driving at night, doors that won't lock while driving and the constant risk of a dead battery after returning to their parked vehicle. I've already had to buy a new battery due to the dome light staying on after parking. This is very dangerous and deserves a recall. The current fix apparently requires replacing the entire latch for around $400, every two years on average. This is ridiculous.

When you start your car. A message comes on that doors are not closed. It happens randomly every time you drive the car. You can open and shut your doors. All the time. The car also randomly honks the horn and the lights all flash. We have changed the batteries in the remotes and it still happens. This has been going on for while.

Malfunctioning door ajar sensor stays remains when door is securely closed. Can drain the battery. Had the sensor in driver's door replace while under manufacturer's warranty. The replacement sensor is now malfunctioning and the vehicle is out of warranty.

- Oxford, MI, USA

The driver's side door ajar is constantly on. I have opened and shut the door multiple times and even tried to do what some youtube videos have shown. Dome light sometimes stays on after I park, sometimes goes off. I will have a dead battery and probably additional costs unless I want to pay $400+ to Ford to fix this known issue.

- Bedford, TX, USA

The driver door and rear driver door "door ajar" notification's do not turn off, even when the doors are closed. This causes the dome lights to stay on which drains the battery, and then the vehicle will not start later. This also prevents the doors from locking while driving. This is an ongoing issue and can not seem to be resolved, even after a mechanic cleaned and lubricated the door latches.

The passenger rear left door open indicator will not go off thus keeping my dome light on and draining my battery not to mention doors will not lock automatically.
