The warning sound that a door is ajar will continually go off even when all doors are securely shut. I have had this replaced twice at my own expense and it is doing it again. It will eventually reset itself after day or more. This has been a continual problem and I am just getting tired of it. It has happened after I have replaced the switches, and fuses. Ford Motor Company needs to take care of this obvious problem.

The fuse in the fuel pump blew out on three separate occasions. When this occurred the vehicle stalled. Upon replacing the fuel pump, the consumer checked the wiring in the fuel pump. They noticed that the wires were rubbing against a metal clamp or pipe, which caused the installation to rub off.

ABS light comes on intermittently and red brake light stays on constantly. While this is happening, the rear windshield wiper will not shut off, and the front windshield wipers do not work. The check engine soon light is constantly on. The turn signals are blinking rapidly or not working on some occasions. My warranty has expired as of last year. The transmission has already been rebuilt and we had problems with the door ajar warning lights not going off and the door lock motor had to be replaced because at first they were locking on their own repeatedly. I feel like these were all a result of wiring problems, but we had such a hard time getting all of the other things repaired that I'm not looking forward to going back to the dealer again, especially since the warranty has expired. This vehicle has been a lemon the whole time we have owned it.
