Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF THE CAR, THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING COMES ON AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF. YOU HAVE TO CONTINUALLY SLAM THE DOOR TO GET BOTH TO GO OUT. SOMETIMES THE WARNING LIGHT AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN IT'S DARK OUTSIDE. I ALMOST WENT INTO A DITCH LAST WEEK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I STARTED COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE FORD DEALER DID NOT FIX IT. NOW THEY WANT $500 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE - NOT THE CONSUMER.
