Consumer Description

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE DOOM LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORDS WHERE THE POORLY DESIGNED DOOR LATCH BINDS UP. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2002 EXPLORER AND NOW WITH MY 2008 EDGE. IT BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF SO IT IS HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO GET THIS FAR BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAS SURFACED SINCE I HAVE READ THAT FORD CARS 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD SEEM TO HAVE THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. *JS
