Consumer Description

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. *CB
