1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2016

My 2005 Mercury Mariner premier has a problem when driving that the left and right door shows they are ajar. And it cycles back and forth across the dash board, you hear a beep then the message is displayed on the dashboard . When the car is parked and locked the alarm goes off between five and 10 times a night draining the battery. This has started about a year and half ago. I took my car into a Ford dealership on September 27,20016 to be repaired. I had the car in their car care for two and one half weeks only to find out that the part for the right side the cable and handle assembly is recalled and there is no replacement at this time and no estimated time frame for it to be available. I spent $544. 00 on a rental and $604. 39. I still do not have the problem fixed and Ford dealer says it has no time estimate when it can be repaired if any?.

I even paid aamco over 500. 00 to fix this and they ended up giving me my money back. And now the whole lighting system pops on and off including back lights and running lights. My back wind sheild wiper no longer works and my door ajar light stays on. . I like my truck but I dont know how to fix this problem. I work 21 miles from my home and I work night shift. This is dangerous on the highway. I pray ever night I can get to work safely with out my lights going out on me. I cannot afford another car right now. Please help me.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2008

Originally, the car alarm would go off without a reason--sometimes within a few minutes of each other, sometimes days apart or even weeks. It has escalated now to not being able to lock my door, any doors, without the alarm going off within a few minutes any time of the day or night. Even when the doors are not locked and I am driving down the street, my lights start flashing on the inside and outside for the first few minutes of getting into the car. I have friends and relatives who tell me they know people with cars, especially explorers that do that. The guy are the Ford service department told me that they have had a lot of issues dealing with that problem, especially with explorers. They tell me that the remedy is getting the entire door lock system changed out on the front passenger door at the cost of close to $400.
