This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
I lived in the country where I could just leave the keys on the seat. Multiple times I came back and the car had locked itself. I only have one set of keys... So it was locking itself.

Ford was unable to identify the problem nor replicate it. Since then, it has only happened three or four times, and I have not taken it in for service. But, I NEVER close the door with the keys inside anymore to prevent getting locked out in the cold. The first time it happened, the baby was in the car, it was the dead of winter and my wife and I were scraping the windshields with the engine running. Fortunately, my wife forgot to lock the door to the house, and we were able to get the spare key from inside. Otherwise, we'd have been stranded in the cold at 4 AM with the engine running and our cell phones inside the locked car.
Very dangerous, and the problem remains unfixed and very random. It has happened four times that I am aware of.
