In extremely cold weather last winter, the car doors wouldn't close. The latches wouldn't catch. Driving was dangerous with kids in the car. In looking on the internet to see if others have had this problem, I found that many have. I have been told by the dealer there is no recall on this problem or defect. I have to pay over $1,400 to have it fixed. I even called Ford headquarters. No luck.

Problem: door-ajar warning lamp on; all doors checked, including tailgate; all are closed firmly (not slammed shut). Interior overhead lamp and underdash lights do not go out consistently after the engine's started and put into gear. Appears that random order of check/re-close doors; lock and unlock doors and tailgate by smartkey or manually; set and release emergency brake. There's no consistent pattern to getting the lights turned off. Gervais Ford suggests that it's one of the contact switches, usually the driver-side, that contributes to this, rather than a relay or timer; but that they have to catch it in the act to properly diagnose it. Really aggravating to have to pull the fuse in order to avoid running down the battery in the winter, until we can get it to gervais's shop. Dt.
