It's ridiculous how much stuff is happening. The door ajar light comes on even after I slam all 4 doors and the liftgate. It causes the dome light to stay on until I've driven for awhile not to mention the double horn blast when the alarm is set and the random popping of the locks...don't know if they're locking or unlocking. I just had the cd changer replaced because using a paperclip to unjam cds stopped working. The crack in the fiberglass part of the lift gate cracked again less than a year after I fought the dealership to have that repaired 50 miles after the warranty ran out.

Door ajar light comes on. When it does, the door locks won't engage, and the interior lights won't turn off. I've owned Fords for years, but this is the last one that I'll EVER own.
