Door ajar signal stays on when door is closed. Have to open and shut door many times to get the signal to go off and the door to lock. I complained about this problem about 2 years ago to ford they did something and it worked now it is doing it again.
Driver door is open, when it is clearly closed causing the dorm light to stay on. The can be stationary or in motion.
Driver side door will close properly and lock. Interior lights remain on in car, draining battery. Had fixed three years ago and problem has returned. Researched and found this is a common problem with this car. Should be recalled.
Door ajar light comes on with all doors closed. The drivers door is the one affected. This turns on the dome light which can cause the battery to drain leaving a person stranded. Also, it causes the brake and parking lights to come on with no one in the vehicle. The door ajar light also prevents the doors from locking with the key in the ignition. The door ajar light comes on whether the car is turned on or not. The dealer said that they have to replace the drivers door latch. I had ford repair this problem in the past. I have it in the ford dealer again today for the same repair. I've uploaded the receipt from first repair. My car is still being worked on at ford dealership and I don't have the receipt yet for the second repair. I think this should be a recall on this vehicle.

Without any forewarning, we were driving along and heard and felt several loud pops coming from under the hood. When we stopped, we found a broken windshield, the passenger side wheel/tire had collapsed into the wheel well, and the engine hood was pushed up roughly 6" above where it's supposed to be. Upon initial inspection, we noticed that the passenger side strut tower, which is of a ridiculously weak 2-piece design, the 2 pieces had completely separated from each other. No potholes or other road hazards were hit, we were driving in a straight line. The approximate 9 spot welds holding the two pieces of the strut tower together completely separated. When the vehicle was inspected by 2 separate shops, both claimed that was absolutely no damage to any other suspension components, including control arms, ball joints, sway bar, sway bar end links, or anything else that would've caused the strut tower to break in such a fashion. Several incidents of this have been reported online and references can be shared upon request.
Driver door ajar alert remains on all the time, even though the door is shut and latched and prevents the doors from locking with the automatic lock buttons and keyless entry pad.

Door ajar sensor stays on for driver's door, interior lights won't go off and creates a night driving hazard, locks won't lock while in the car and this is all because of a faulty latch. Ford is aware of the problem and even has a bulletin out about in which I found in the all data system but won't do anything about it. Labor alone to fix the problem was quoted to me as $300 from my local dealership.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge.

At approximately 73,000 miles the 'door ajar' warning light began coming on occasionally even though the door was securely closed. Reopening the door and slamming it seemed to overcome the problem, but it became more frequent. When this happens, the auto door locks do not engage once the vehicle is moving. The dome lights would also stay on after exiting the vehicle. There is a limit switch internal to the door latch assembly that senses the door latch position and triggers the warning light. This component can only be replaced by replacing the entire door latch module. The repair cost by a dealer is prohibitively expensive for many people ($500+). Those who choose not to repair it will not be alerted if their door is not latched as the warning light will be on all the time.
The driver side door is always ajar. The driver ajar light stays on at all times. This causes the dome lights to stay on at all times and run the batter dead. Useless to purchase anew battery! Also, this causes the security system to not work and I have tried the wd 40 thing and anything else that has been suggested to me and nothing works. Battery is always dead and recharging and jumping all the time. This has been going on for several months now.

The driver side door does not close properly, sensor light reads door ajar and will not allow door to be locked. I have to slam the door a dozen times for it to catch every time I enter. Lights in car stay on as a result draining my battery. Safety hazard as I am unable to lock my doors. Extremely frustrating & dangerous as I travel alone quite frequently. I am assuming this is the sensor in the door that is malfunctioning. This needs to be recalled so the part can be replaced & problem can be corrected.
