THREE TIMES IN TWO WEEK EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ALL IN MOTION. THIRD TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY RAMP. COASTED/LIMPED TO HARD SHOULDER. AS TWICE BEFORE THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON PANEL ALONG WITH '"AWD OFF". TURNED OFF ENGINE, WAITED A MINUTE, AND RESTARTED ENGINE. EVERYTHING NOW FINE AND GOT HOME. TOOK TO FORD DEALER. (FORD OF ESCONDIDO) THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TOLD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK. COULD FIND NO ERROR REPORTS UNDER DIAGNOSTICS. TOLD TO PICK UP CAR. LEFT CAR AT DEALER! THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IF I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ON THE FREEWAY INSTEAD OF THE RAMP, I COULD HAVE REAR ENDED AT 65MPH!

FAULTY DRIVER DOOR SENSOR. ALWAYS SHOWS DOOR AJAR WHICH THEN DRAINS THE BATTERY. FORD REPLACED IT WHEN UNDER WARRANTY ONLY TO HAVE IT GO BAD AGAIN OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL NOT RECALL A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. CHARGING CUSTOMERS $500 AND UP TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WON'T JUST HAPPEN AGAIN.

WHEN I PLACE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR, AND I LEAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE PADDLE THERE IS A HUMMING NOISE THAT HAPPENS, THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I PLACE CAR IN REVERSE AND LEAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN TWO TIMES WHEN I WAS STOPPING THE CAR THAT THE BRAKE PADDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. ONCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A PARKING LOT AND STOPPING TO WAIT TO PULL OUT AND ONCE WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON THE SAME DAY.

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING KEEPS SHOWING, EVEN AFTER THE DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED REPEATEDLY. SENSOR IS FAILING. CAR ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT!

THE DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR WARNING KEEPS APPEARING. SOMETIMES IT APPEARS AFTER I AM ALREADY DRIVING. THE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR ALARMS WHEN STOPPING TELLING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. MY DOOR IS SHUT. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVEN AFTER SHUTTING MY DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES.

SENSOR ON PASSENGER DOOR IS SHOWING OPEN AN DOOR IS NOT OPEN AND INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON AND RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY DUE TO INSIDE LIGHTS STAYING ON. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN EXISTING VEHICLE. DRIVING AT NIGHT AND INSIDE LIGHT STAYS ON IS A DRIVING SAFETY FACTOR. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES FOR THIS SAME REASON. UNABLE TO FIX IT. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATES FOR NO REASON ( DRY WEATHER). RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AT EXPRESS WAY SPEEDS. IT WILL DEACTIVATE AR SOME POINT BUT RECYCLES SEVERAL TIMES.. ONCE CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF CLEARS IT SELF.. FO D CAN NOT FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS.

DURING COLD WEATHER, WHEN I START THE CAR IT HAS A HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUND WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE CAR BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT. CAR CONTINUES WITH WHINING SOUND FOR APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES UNTIL FULLY WARMED UP, STEERING COLUMN FEELS TIGHT DURING NORMAL MOTION OF CAR UNTIL WHINING STOPS.
