Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. After closing the front driver side door, the door ajar sensor illuminated when the door was secured. During the failure, the interior lights remained on while driving the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that the passenger and driver side door ajar warning lights illuminated. As a result, the doors failed to latch and the interior lights failed to deactivate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver and passenger side door sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. On another occasion, the push to start failed to operate without warning. The contact believed that the failure of the door sensors caused the battery to fail. The battery was replaced, but the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.
The driver's door sensor is malfunctioning. Causes a hazard as the interior dome lights remain on (a nasty condition at night), and the doors will not lock using the interior locking control switch (nor do they lock automatically when underway).
Driver door ajar warning light stays lit even though the door is closed. This creates safety problems at night since the interior lights stay on. This can be especially concerning for some that may be bothered by more light inside the vehicle and for those vehicles that have tinted windows. This problem first occurred with the vehicle about 29 months old and at about 39,700 miles. The door latch was replaced at that time and it is now happening again - less than 25 months later and in just under 27,000 miles.
My vehicle displayed the door ajar alarm after the door had been shut securely. This occurred intermittently for two days, and then began to occur every time I got in the vehicle. A couple days later it went back to being intermittent. I would not get the notification when I first got in the vehicle, but then the alarm would go off while I was driving.
Door ajar sensor stuck on "open" for driver's side front and rear doors. As a result, dome lights stay on causing difficulty seeing at night, and inability to lock doors while in motion. Also, drains battery and has stranded my wife multiple times. Repair is very costly and as I understand it, the replacement part is just as susceptible to the problem as the original equipment. Ford needs to be responsible for this inherent defect.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. When the vehicle was started, the door ajar warning light illuminated indicating that the rear driver side door was open. The contact stated that the door was closed; however, the warning indicator continued to illuminate and the interior dome lights were illuminated. The dome lights would turn off after driving approximately one minute. The failure recurred every time the vehicle was started. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,311.
Door ajar sensor stays on although door is closed and latched properly. The false door ajar signal prevents driver from recognizing a real door ajar situation.

Driver door adjar notification won't go off even though all doors are closed. This prevents doors from locking while driving causing safety hazard. Also causes the interior lights stay on while driving causing safety hazard at night. Sometimes interior lights won't go off at all even after the car has been turned off for hours.
My door latch on my 2011 ford edge wont secure properly. Since it wont secure, my doors wont lock. My 5 year old opened door while vehicle moving to get bag unstuck. It is a safety hazard.

Faulty door latch, drivers door. Door ajar warning light stays on when door is closed, because of this, the dome lights do not go off unless driving at a certain speed, but stays on when backing. This makes it extremely difficult and dangerous to do at night time because the lights blind you. The doors will not lock with the switch, you must physically push each door lock plunger down, which is difficult to do without crawling around.I replaced the latch the first time under warranty and now it has happened a second time only 13 months after the first replacement.
Driver side door remains "ajar". (door latch assembly) locks won't lock, dome lights stay on, can't lock car and lights come on randomly during the day & night. I have been told it is an ongoing issue that could cost me $500.00. If I can't manually lock the doors, the kids can get out while driving. Safety recall is necessary or trading in ford! I have to put tape over my dome lights so I can back out of my driveway in the dark...I can't see!
As I was driving on multiple occasions, the driver door ajar light along with the dome lights come on. Also when I first get in many times the door ajar light comes on and the dome light stay on. I have also had my battery drain where when I got out of the vehicle the dome lights stay on as if the driver door isn't shut.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. While driving 45 MPH, the door ajar warning light illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the door ajar message was also displayed across the message board and the interior light illuminated. The contact had to open and close the front driver side door multiple times in order to stop the message from displaying and the warning light from illuminating. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Defective sensor in drivers door latch. Doors won't lock while car is in motion and interior lights stay on while car is driven or after it is parked.
Door ajar light comes on, does not engage child safety locks. Takes repeated times closing the driver door for the light to go off. Vehicle was taken in once while under warranty, part was replaced. Still have the same problem as many others do with this vehicle.
Just after the manufacturers warranty expired at 36,000 miles the "driver door ajar" notification came on and will not go out. This is an extremely common problem and well known to ford. Safety concerns are that the lighting will not go out and driving at night is severely hampered and the doors cannot be locked while the vehicle is in motion. The no-lock issue is a major problem while having children in the car...ie, granddaughter.
The driver's side door continues to have a "door ajar" warning light on even when the door is closed. This causes the interior lights to stay on and then system to "bing" about the door being open when it is clearly closed. Not to mention the doors won't lock because of it and I don't know if the door is ever truly open or if the air bag will deploy. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed and fixing the issue should not cost owners $500!!
Dolor on driver side dont clase by beeper and alarm wont set. Afraid is damaged door look mecanism. Alredy changed 2 times before with warranty now expired. Alarm activated when door open cant drive car.
The door ajar switch no long senses that the door is closed resulting in a constant alarm on the dash board and the inability to lock the doors, potentially dangerous for children in the rear seat.
