Door agar sensor is stuck in the door open position. This causes the electric lock system to not lock the doors. When you manually push the lock down it just pops back up. It also keeps the dome lights on. Thousands of these vehicles are experiencing this exact problem. This happens stationary or moving.

Vehicle acts like the driver's side door is ajar even when the door is closed. It does not matter how hard the door is shut. This causes the vehicle to chime as if door is open anytime your speed is less than 5 miles an hour. It also pops up messages and warnings to shift to park when traveling 5mph or less. The vehicle is equipped with touch unlock. This is useless now because the vehicle thinks the door is opened. This is not only an aggravation but a safety issue because it is very distracting when driving in city traffic. This happened to the vehicle with 60,000 miles on it. This started when I stopped at a stop sign in the city. I tried to open and reshut the door thinking maybe I had not closed it hard enough.

Door ajar sensor started malfunctioning on the front driver door about 8 months ago and corrected itself at about the same time the front passenger door ajar sensor started malfunctioning about 3 months ago. Now both are malfunctioning causing interior lights to stay on and chime to tell me to put vehicle in park at any time. This also causes the doors to automatically stay unlocked while vehicle is in motion (clearly a safety issue). I have contacted the dealer with a list of how often this happens as seen here online but they say they have never heard of this issue but will be more than happy to charge me $109 per hour to diagnose the issue.

2013 Ford Flex right rear door shows "ajar" when door is firmly closed. Appears to be a sensor that has failed to recognize the door is closed. This stops the doors from locking / alarm from working properly / interior and puddle lights from working properly. Should be considered a safety issue.
