Automatic door locking once the vehicle reaches a certain low speed has failed to work on a number of occasions. Unless I am being attentive enough to notice they have not locked I'm sure there has been a number of times the doors have been unlocked for an entire trip. I assume this would be a safety issue in the event of a crash if the doors were not locked.

Door ajar warning light comes on so doors won't lock, dome light won't go out and nothing will show up on the dashboard display.

The driver door ajar warning is illuminated on the dash and the doom lights wont turn off. I have found out this is a very common issue with fords where the poorly designed door latch binds up. I had this same issue with my 2002 explorer and now with my 2008 edge. It becomes a huge safety issue at night since the dome lights will not turn off so it is hard to see outside and could potentially cause an accident. From what I can tell I have been lucky to get this far before this issue has surfaced since I have read that ford cars 2 to 3 years old seem to have this very same issue.
