I read similar complaints, and as a dedicated ford brand purchaser I am very upset this issue was not recalled and corrected. The fault activates upon starting my vehicle or while driving.

NHTSA complaint #11121676, filed 2018-08, 80,000 miles“Vehicle registers door adjar constantly. Causes dome lights to stay on even while driving, can't lock door, and battery goes dead.
