Consumer Description

THE "DOOR AJAR" SIGNAL KEEPS COMING UP ON MY DISPLAY PANEL - WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF FOR 30-45 SECONDS. AT NIGHT THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD BECAUSE NEITHER I OR MY TEENAGE CHILDREN WHO DRIVE IT CAN SEE SAFELY. I'M HAVING THE PART REPLACED TOMORROW BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED. THE SERVICE MAN AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TOLD ME THEY ARE SEEING THIS PROBLEM A LOT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE MADE. THANK YOU. *AK
