THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS CLOSE AND SECURE. THE DOOR LATCH SOMETIMES STAYS IN THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. UNSAFE AS YOU WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR UNSECURED.ALSO THE SHIFTING LEVER WILL OCCASIONALLY STICK IN PARK AND WILL NOT COME OUT EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE. UNSAFE IF YOU HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IN PARK ON SIDE OF ROAD OR HIGHWAY YOU CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF PARK WHEN CLEAR TO DO SO. DEALER SAID THEY CAN NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN MOTION WAS TO DRIVE WITH DRIVERS DOOR NOT SECURED.

I was driving down the street at 40mph when all of a sudden the transmission down shifted into first gear. Because this happened on its own, there were no brake lights to warn the car behind me that I was slowing down at a rapid rate. The wrench symbol flashed on the dashboard and went away, so I took the vehicle to a Ford dealer the next morning when they opened up.
