Door ajar light stays on even after the door is tightly shut causing the dome light to stay on and causing the door to be unable to be locked,

The door ajar sensor is sending false signals that the drivers door is open when they are in fact it is closed. the faulty sensor triggers an audible warning, activates a warning light and causes a "shift to park" message because the computer mistakenly believes the vehicle has stopped (this has happened twice recently while at a stop light; very scary). dome lights stay on, battery is drained and at time doors unlock and cannot be manually re-locked. three years ago i took my vehicle into the dealership to be fixed ($380). three years later, the same issue is happening.

The car alarm goes off at random times at night.

I was driving to work through a busy town i was preparing to stop at a stoplight and my brakes went to the floor there weren't any signs of brake issues prior so i assumed the brakes needed replacing so when i got off work i went and bought brakes my husband was gonna put them on when he checked he said the brakes were fine that the fluid could be leaking the fluid level was fine and no leaks were found he still looked for one just in case so next he said it could be master cylinder and reservoir i was looking online at this point and seen all the same issues others were having as well with this suv i told him there wasn't any need to spend more money because the way it sounded was that its not gonna fix the issue any how because ford itself can't figure out why brakes are going to the floor themselves so i'm left with a unsafe vehicle to drive with a payoff of 10000 dollars what do i do? i'm so tired of getting screwed that i'm abt to hire an attorney and find out why am ...

I get ready to start my day as usual i go and start my vehicle (stationary) to warm it up, as i got ready to set the temperature in the suv i noticed the bottom touch panel did not light up. so i pushed the button to turn off the heat that was blowing and it didnt turn off, i tried and again and nothing. its to hot in texas with little children to have electrical problems that effect the air conditioning. i pushed other buttons to see if anything worked and still nothing, the hazard lights will not function nor will the electric windows. my family and i drove the vehicle to my destination afterwards i had the fuses tested they are good, but was told it is front interface control module. this is my only vehicle and hopefully a ford dealership can give a better diagnosis than auto part store.

When i am driving to work at 5:00 am down the interstate my interior lights will just come on. my edge has interior lights that won't go off door ajar is on the dashboard. late at night when my car is not in motion and my lights just turn on my home security system has recorded it several times and the car has sat off for many hours. my door ajar light is always on. for safety reasons this should be addressed by the ford company.

The driver side door keep saying ajar even when the door is closed. the doom light won't go out and it kills the battery. i checked on youtube and others been having the same problem with this issue. there should be something that ford can do to correct the problem. 2012 ford door latch replacement part to fix this problem.

Driver door ajar warning comes on, leaving interior lights on running battery down.

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.

Ford - door ajar - the sensor was replaced back in 2013 and 2015. appears to have faild again. cleary a safety concern as the doors will not lock. clearly a known issue by ford due to the number of reports. who can entrust the safty of a young woment in a dark parking garage from getting gang raped if she can't find safty in her ford motor vechical.

Door ajar sensor keeps going off, drains battery, leaves me stranded - huge issue for a family!

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.
