About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Interior and running board lights come on and stay on, from 10 minutes to over 1 hour. Varies. Intermittent problem. Seems to happen more in wet weather. A real hazard as driving at night with interior lights on is dangerous. They might time out after a few minutes or it may take an hour or more, you never know. Ford should take care of this regardless of warranty as it is very obviously a defect on their part. This has happened the entire life of this vehicle and continues to occur.

While driving the vehicle at 30 mph the dome light illuminated and stayed on. The dealer has been notified.

Door ajar and overhead lights come on and stay on approximately 10 minutes after vehicle has started without any doors being opened. The light is illuminated all the time and consumers daughter nearly fell out of the car when the door wasn't shut. The light was ignored because it is on all the time.

The door ajar light and dome light comes on and stays on for 1 hour+ and the running board lights also stay on. Been back to dealer 4 times and still no solutions.

Whenever vehicle ajar light remains on it causes the interior courtesy light to come on while driving intermittently. Vehicle power would have to be turned off to get the courtesy light to turn off. Dealer notified.

The door jam switch failed to work properly. The switch sensors thinks door is open when it's not. Also, dome light in front would remain on & would run the battery down. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic indicated the problem was repairable, but not under warranty.

The "door ajar" signal keeps coming up on my display panel - when this happens, the interior lights come on and won't go off for 30-45 seconds. At night this is a serious hazard because neither I or my teenage children who drive it can see safely. I'm having the part replaced tomorrow but would like to be reimbursed. The service man at my local Ford dealer told me they are seeing this problem a lot. It seems to me that an investigation needs to be made. Thank you.
