The rear driver-side door indicator switch has become unreliable. It now indicates the rear driver-side door is open a majority of the time. Because the car thinks the door is not closed, interior lights do not dim reliably and the doors no longer lock reliably. I don't get the option to do so until the car is well under way.
2011 Ford Edge body complaints
Page 4 of 10: complaints 71 to 100 of 274, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The door latch sensor is failing causing the car to believe door is unlatched. This leaves dome light on inside car even while driving. I understand ford has recalled other models for this failure but not edge.
My passenger door ajar light/alarm comes on randomly while driving down the road, and sometimes it happens after someone gets in and shuts the door. This weekend it happened while I was driving at night during terrible rain...causing the interior lights to come on and nearly blind the driver(me). It doesn't seem to know when the door is open/closed. This also keeps the car from locking correctly...it automatically unlocks because it thinks the door is open. Last- the light will remain on when you exit the vehicle which ends up killing the battery. You might think it is ok- but it just decides to trigger the door ajar sensor and lights are on. This has happened in middle of the night, after I thought it was locked up and secure for the night. It also makes me wonder if the door latch is not working and the passenger may be at risk of falling out of the car. Ford wants 450.00 to fix a safety problem that is widely complained about and should be remedied without cost to consumer.
Door ajar light stays on when the door is completely closed/latched. That does not allow to lock the doors automatically (after the speed is more than 5 MPH) or even manually since they unlock immediately. That is a safety concern. Also, the interior lights stay on until you drive, blinding you and this can be a safety issue at night.
Door sensor indicates door open even when manual closure of the latch mechanism. Has caused multiple dead batteries and makes vehicle unreliable. Ford denies extended warranty coverage because they claim its a "known manufactures defect"
Driver door would not close. Several occasions the door closes to a "thump" as the door latch will not latch to the body. I would have to reach into the latch, while holding the door handle open, to push it up to get the door to latch.
Edge has door ajar light issue that is cause by faulty door latches. Door sensor incorrectly reads door(s) as being open that causes battery to drain and discharge. Interior lighting comes on while vehicle is moving that may cause distraction while driving at night. Issue occurs while vehicle is in motion and while stationary.
My passenger door indicates that when closed that it is not. The dome light stays on and so does the dash indicator. It has also done it while driving down the road. Creepy, since I'm disabled and have hands controls to drive. So I have to pull over and reclose the door. Plus once the lights come on I can't see while driving at night.
The driver door sensor is not working correctly. The driver door ajar notification remains on once the door is closed, and the interior light will not turn off. I also cannot lock my doors. I end up driving with the interior light on because it will not go out. At night time, this is especially dangerous, not to mention it drains the battery by staying on when not being driven. When I exit the car and shut the door, it takes me up to five minutes sometimes to open and re-shut the door to eventually get the sensor to register and the light to go off. It's ridiculous and frustrating. I hope that this issue will lead to a recall because I have seen a lot of complaints about it. My car just hit 62k miles. I saw others having the same issue at the same mileage.
Takata recall the driver's side door latch does not work properly causing the alarm to go off unexpectedly, as well as "door ajar" displayed when you get into the vehicle and close the door. Manually flipping the switch up with fingers sometimes works, but not reliable and seems to be a concern for driving down the interstate hearing air coming in because the door isn't securely latched. This needs to be addressed by ford as it seems to be an engineering error.
Front driver's and passenger's "door ajar" switch failed causing false indication of doors open, inoperative door locks and dome light to stay on while driving, and while parked dome light stays on causing battery drain.
Drives door ajar sensor does not always work leaving interior lights on while vehicle is moving. This creates a safety hazard as you cannot see outside at night due to the glare from the interior lights staying on as a result of the door ajar sensor not working properly.
Door ajar warning light comes on when door is closed and stays on. Doors will not lock even if manually actuated. Door is actually fully closed but not locked. Warning light is actuated when closing door and starting vehicle. Car can be driven but doors are unlocked.
Door ajar will not turn off for drivers door. Problem is intermittent, however more constant when it is hot out side. This causes the dome light to remain on. You can open and close the door several time and sometimes the warning will stop. Makes driving difficult when it is dark out because of the dome light being on.
The door ajar warning lights stays on. This results in the dome light staying on while driving for a short period of time or after the car is off. Drained the battery once. Also, the door can not be locked. On a much more serious note, the dome light suddenly come on while I'm driving on the highway. This creates a very dangerous situation because I'm unable to see cars around me very well. I went to the ford dealership in feb, 2015 and fixed it once. However, this happens again recently. I really think ford should address this issue!
The door ajar light stays on when all doors are closed and the interior lights stay on. Also I was not able to open the car with the security code from the outside the car I had to use the key. I was park when I first notice the passcode was not working then I used the key I closed all the doors and still said one door was open, so I make sure all were close. I realize there was something wrong so I just drove the car like that. Also I just bought the car so I don't know if that has happened before.
I am having the same problem as everyone else with the door sensor. When I close the driver door the warning tells me that the door is still open. This leads to my dome light staying on , which drains my battery.
Door ajar when door is closed keeps lights on.........hard to see at night.....drains battery...cant use door buttons to lock door......
Door ajar signal stays on when door is closed interior light stay on when door is closed inability to lock doors faulty latch
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. While driving various speeds, the door ajar warning indicator illuminated with the door closed. In addition, after the vehicle was parked, the interior lighting failed to shut off and caused the battery to become inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the door sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Driver side front door sensor incorrectly senses door is open when it is actually closed causing the inability to lock any of the vehicles doors. Dome light remains on when driving. The inability to lock any of the doors is a serious safety concern since it could enable anyone to gain access to the interior of the car and the driver has no way to lock them out.
Door ajar warning always on resulting in doors not locking when car is in motion, dome lighting staying on when exiting the car and not being aware if car door is shut.
Drivers side door ajar warning light is on, even when door is closed. Door locks will not work, dome light stays on. This is a safety hazard when driving at night since reduces night vision as well as allows the doors to be opened by anyone.
The driver side front door sensor is bad, which keeps the door ajar light on at all times, and keeps the overhead lights on for an extended period of time, which drains the battery and is also dangerous when driving at night. Had the dealer "fix" the issue by doing a cleaning/cycling on the electrical part of the latch, but it only lasted a few months and now the problem is back. Ford does not seem willing to address the issue as a safety concern - unsafe to drive with overhead lights on, and it drains the battery, which has caused other issues for me, including having to replace the battery well ahead of its intended useful life.
While driving, the door ajar light remains on even though all the doors are completely closed. The image indicates the passenger door is ajar. Because of this, the dome lights remain on and I am unable to lock the doors while driving.
Door ajar warning message on while driving or parked. Causes interior lights to stay on 10 minutes before turning off when parked. Interior lights will turn on and alarm horn will sound intermittently when parked. I pulled the fuse for the horn relay, don't know when it will sound. I feel it's unsafe to drive without a horn. While driving doors do not lock in fact they unlock after locking them with lock switch.
The door latch sensor in the drivers door is malfunctioning. Shows a door ajar warning on instrument cluster when door is actually closed tight. This warning indication prevent the doors from locking when driving. Big safety issue! It also causes interior light to stay on, and night time driving with that interior light glare is a safety issue. The dome lights have also stayed on when parked, causing the battery to go dead. This issue first was noticed 7/10/16 and continues intermittently each time the vehicle is driven.
The dome light comes on while vehicle is on movement and creates a night driving hazard. The doors will not lock which is a major safety issue. The false door ajar signal prevents the driver from recognizing a real door ajar situation.
Drive side driver door ajar sensor switch fails. Interior lights stay on and door locks will not stay locked when the car is in motion. Door ajar light stays on at all times if the key is in the ignition.
Drivers side door ajar light stays on when door is shut. Is a safety concern because doors won't lock and dome light stays on. Problem is intermittent and is worse in cold weather. Dealership complied with a service letter but the problem came back within months. Dealership seems to be dragging their feet.
