On feb 5, 2015 as I traveled down the road my sunroof exploded. I was driving 55 MPH under an overpass that was under construction at the time on smooth asphalt, but it was lunch time and there were no workers present nor any equipment in operation. It sounded like a shotgun went off in my car. I pulled over and got out and looked at my tires, fine. My windows, fine. Then as I stood next to my driver's side door about to get back inside, I heard splintering coming from the top of my car. I looked at my sunroof and it was spider webbing. There was a gap already gone at the front of the window. I went back to the roadway/apex under the overpass and looked around and found no rock or other item that I felt would cause such damage.

Ongoing issue since 03/2017, car only has 64k miles on it. Door ajar light comes on and stays on when driver or passenger door is opened then closed. The dome light stays on while car is in reverse only turning off once car is in drive dangerous when backing at night. The bigger concern is none of the doors will stay locked when the car is in motion and this door ajar light is on. This light stays on about 90% of the time, opening and closing door over and over on occasion will turn it off.
Driver's door ajar light stays on even after door is closed.
On 2011 ford edge on the right front passenger door, a "door ajar" warning comes on and cannot be turned off, even when the door is repeated closed. After many tries, I have been able to get it to turn off. When it is on, the car interior lights stay on, leading to a dead battery, and issues with locking and knowing if the door is really closed. The "door ajar" light even came on once when the car was standing and door had not been touched
I bought the edge brand new and when I was 1000 miles over my warranty my door ajar would not go off, so my inside dome lights stay on longer also until you hit the ok button on your steering wheel, then it will go off in a little while, I called the dealership and they wanted to charge me to look at it, I called ford and they didn't want to do nothing either. I have never had any problems with my door on my vehicles in all my life. This has got to be a recall, this is the manufactures problem, because mine vehicle was'nt even a year old and I had this, hope this helps to get a recall.
The door ajar light came on and my drivers door was shut. Eventually the latch completely fell off and the door handle too. We couldn't open the drivers side door or roll the window down. This is a known recall issue with other ford vehicles.
Ford edge 2011 - door ajar when door is closed. Very poor construction of this part. The door sensor is located in the door latch. The door ajar will not let you lock your car doors and also keeps your overhead dome light on therefore draining your car battery. Ford should recall this as they know it is a huge problem and a defective part. This can happen on all doors and at $500 each you are having to pay $2,000.00 just to keep this from draining your battery. How can anyone think this is ok? I never even use my back seat and my car only has 83,000 miles. If you have an extended warranty , strange it does not cover this. You can only buy this part from ford. This is not right . Ford used faulty parts., yet they seem to think it's ok because they said there are no recalls because no one died. Is that what is takes to have a recall ? Ford knows this is wrong, yet will not recall because they don't have to.
Door ajar switch not working properly
Driver side door ajar light is on . Have to drive after sunset with dome light on. Repair by ford dealer on 7/2016 and again on 4/2017
Drivers side door latch is defective. The door ajar signal illuminates, but the door is not ajar or if it is cannot be closed.
The drivers side rear door ajar light stays on after opening and closing the door. Door ajar light comes on randomly and will sometimes go out after opening and closing the door after several attempts. The door ajar light will come on after the car has been stationary for both short and long periods of time. The dome light will stay on if the door ajar light stays on. We had the same issue happen with the drivers side door and had to pay to have it replaced. This is apparently a defective part for this year and model and would like to have it replaced.

Really two complaints: 1) dash/center console lights not shutting down properly and repeatedly turn on/off when car is turned off. Results in battery draw and frequent dead batteries and 2) door latch warning light will not turn off and doors do not lock properly when being driven.
Door ajar light on all the time due to a faulty door latch. This issue causes the interior lights to stay on draining the battery and causing a hazard when driving at night. Also, the doors will not lock when driving, which can be a hazard in certain situations. The cost to make this repair through ford is approximately $400, which I do not have in my budget. Please do a recall for this problem, since it seems to be a recurring issue for this model. Problem began as intermittent and has now become constant. First noticed problem around july of 2016
On october 2016, the driver was westbound on 2 lane route 40 near springfield, ohio. A medical condition caused the driver to pass out. The auto veered off the road initially traveling approximately 40 miles per hour. It crossed through a yard and hit nose first into a hill. Almost $10,000 worth of damage was caused to the front end of the vehicle. The airbag did not inflate and the driver sustained head and facial injuries due to contact with the steering wheel. The driver also sustained deep brusing to the chest due to the seat belt restraint. We are interested to know why the airbag did not inflate and protect the driver. The head injuries and vision problems continue to restrict the driver form being able to drive again.
The drivers side door latch does not catch. This causes the "drivers door ajar" warning. This also causes the lights to no turn off when the car is parked and turned off. This resulting the battery being drained. When battery is drained the car won't start and can leave the driver stranded.
Door ajar light won't go out when closing door, or light just randomly comes on while driving, this is causing dome lights and console light to come on and stay , which can be dangerous in the dark the lights are draining battery even when cars not running , this could leave driver stranded with dead battery at anytime
I purchased my car 9/23/14. My passenger and left rear doors continue to indicate doors ajar when they're indeed closed. This has caused me to replace my battery twice in 2yrs. Extremely costly and frustrating! Because the interior lights stay on, it's draining my battery!!! We as customers need ford to do their part as a reparable manufacturer and take care of this grossly defective part! I'm a woman and a mother, there's nothing worse than being stranded bc your door light won't go off, yet again drawing the battery. This is too dangerous! The doors wont even lock because of this issue. It's baffling that ford doesn't see this as a danger to their customers. At this point I won't ever buy another ford nor will I recommend this vehicle to anyone else!!
I bought the 2001 edge used. After two days I noticed the passenger door open alarm came on and I could not remove it. Bad sensors. Now, both the passenger and driver door alarms stay on. And, it will not allow me to lock my doors, so when I drive the doors are unlocked. My grand daughter opened a back door at a stop light. In addition, due to the sensors, the dome light stays on and drains my battery. Looking this up there are a lot of complaints about this issue. To test the issue while driving, my brother opened the door on the interstate doing 70 MPH. When I try to lock the doors they reopen immediately. This is a dangerous situation. It happened 2/6/2017 and has remained this way.
