Page 9 of 10: complaints 221 to 250 of 274, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The door ajar light remains on all the time, elluding to the driver's door being open, when it is not. Will not allow me to lock my doors when driving, making it unsafe and wearing down my battery.
When the driver side door is shut, the drive side door warning light stays on. It will not go out until the vehicle is turned off. Once the vehicle is turned off, the interior lights stay on for several minutes. We have to check the vehicle periodically to be sure they turn off. When vehicle is parked outside and no one is near the vehicle, the alarm will go off intermittently. This happens during the day and at night. It seems to have started after the driver side door warning light started staying on. Our vehicle is out of warranty. When I called my local ford dealer, they stated they see the problem with the driver side door warning light a lot but there is no recall on it. The repair can be as much as $500.00.
Door ajar sensor does not work properly on the driver's side front door. The sensor says the door is ajar, but it is not, and will not go off even after opening and closing the door several times. The interior lights stay on, which is a hazard when driving at night.
Driver door ajar error.
The door ajar indicator shows drivers side door open even though it is completely closed. It keeps the doors from locking which is a safety issue. This is a widely known problem with several ford models. Ford should issue a recall for the defective switches.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. When the contact closed the front driver side door, the door ajar warning indicator remained illuminated. The indicator remained illuminated even when the contact slammed the door closed multiple times. As a result, the doors were unable to be locked. While driving and reaching a certain speed, the doors would lock automatically and the indicator would dim. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
At the above mileage the driver door sensor started to act up, it would not let me open the door by touching the handle so had to use the key fob to open it. Then when I closed the door it side the door was open so I opened it and shut it again, still the light didn't go out. This was a intermittent problem but has since never closed with the light going out. Told by my dealer that the sensor might need to be cleaned and it would cost me $190.00.
Driver door ajar door is closed but warning light comes on whenever you enter the car.
Door ajar lights constantly on saying doors are open. Lights stay on because it thinks doors are open. Cannot lock from keyless entry pad. This happened about a year ago not sure of date that's why I didn't list. It is drivers door again and rear passenger door. Two at a time! Rear door is hardly used. Very disgusting and costly repairs again .
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that the automatic door system was defective and would indicate that the door was open when it was actually closed. The automatic door lock system failed to engage. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the door module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000 and current mileage was 47,000.
Driver door says it's open when it's not.
Driver's door latch reports door is ajar, which prevents car from locking doors when car is moving. Other side effects - can't use touch-lock features, lights are staying on after car is locked etc.
Driver door ajar light comes on when door is closed as well as while vehicle is moving. Interior as well as puddle lights come on. Frequent slamming if door to trigger sensor does not work. Unable to turn lights off. Prohibits doors from locking while vehicle is in motion. Serious safety concern.
Door is ajar warning does not clear even after repeated closing of doors. This causes interior lights to stay on and doors not to automatically lock when driving.
Door ajar stays on after door closed.
Vehicle does not recognize that the driver side door is closed. The door ajar light stays on, causing the interior light to stay on, and preventing the doors from locking while traveling. The dealership service department stated this is a common problem that requires the latch be replaced.
First door ajar warning would come on,when you closed door it would go away.now it just stay on, the lights say on and the bells chimes. I see theirs a lot of complaints on the internet. Please help!!! This is not in my budget!! Thanks
The front door ajar sensor or latch has been off and on not working. The light door ajar light comes on you have to either slam the door or open and shut it over and over again now to get the door ajar light to go off and the interior lights to shut off. While the door ajar is on the doors will not lock while driving. The other problem is the interior lights will not go off after parking the car which I am afraid will end up killing the battery. Why has there not been a recall on this? There is a danger with the locks not being able to lock and the risk of a battery dying.
It seems the door latch is defective as many edge owners have had this issue. The "door ajar" light comes on & you have to open & close the door to resolve it. After several occurences, it does not go off by simply opening & closing the door.
On the driver's door only, the door ajar notification remains on even after the door is securely shut. The door will not lock with that notification on and the interior lights do not want to go out either. Also, when the car is off and the doors are locked, this, what seems like an electrical shortage, causes the auxiliary lights come on and off and it causes the battery to die over time. This has been the case since the car was purchased in 2012.
While driving the vehicle on the highway, the "driver door ajar" light appeared on the dash display while the driver door was fully/properly closed and all fours locked. The "driver door ajar" light remained on for a distance before the interior dome lights turned on, and the driver door popped partially open on its own which resulted in all doors to unlock posing a safety risk to the child passengers in the back seat and the driver. The "driver door ajar" light is constantly on, which in turn keeps the interior dome lights on and prevents the doors from locking and the alarm from arming. This issue is present at all times, while operating/driving and while the vehicle is turned off/parked which in turn causes added strain on the battery and electrical systems. The local ford dealer/service department as well as ford customer relations have been notified several times and refuses to investigate/inspect, unless they are paid a very expensive "fee".
The door ajar sensor ceases to function and indicate whether the door is open or closed, leaving it in the "ajar" state. By having it in this state, the vehicles locks do not automatically engage while driving and also the battery drains while the car is not in use.
The driver's door ajar sensor stays on and you will have to open and shut the door several times before it goes out and sometimes that doesn't work. My first incident was when my car was less than a year old (early 2012) and I took it back to the dealer and it was suppose to be replaced. Then in march of 2014, the same thing happened again. So when I went in for an oil change I explained the problem and they said that they would clean it and go from there. Just 2 short weeks later it started happening once again so this time I have returned the car and they want to charge me a $100 deductible to do the work. I asked why because I have extended warranty and he explained that certain items are covered but with a deductible fee. This problem should be considered a recall of the car because it seems to be something that's going to be a recurring issue with no fault of the consumer.
Door ajar sensor stays on even when door is closed resulting in lights staying on.with the number of complaints on this issue ,ford should issue a recall.
The door ajar light has been coming off and on even when the door is shut. Sometimes 5-10 closings will shut the door ajar light off. Most of the time my door ajar light stays on. Which keeps my interior lights on at nighttime. Also not sure my car locks completely as the car honks twice quickly when I try to lock using the wireless locking device. Very frustrating, and for the money they charge for ford cars, don't think this should be a problem. Have searched the internet and found out this is a common problem that can cost up to $300 at dealerships to fix, and cheapest I have found is $85.00 to buy part from ford and try to fix it myself.
Driver's door ajar sensor was intermittent then went completely out. Interior light stays on draining battery when parked. Safety concern with door false alert masking actual door not shut condition. Additional safety concern with night driving and forced interior light reducing visibility and risk to pedestrians. Ford service will only lubricate sensor at customers expense to satisfy tsb-14-0011 causing no confidence in repair and possible re-occurrence of safety issue. This should be a recall and replacement of the faulty sensing unit and/or door latch assembly.
Door ajar light will not go off. Car thinks drivers door is open, which makes it unable to lock and lights stay on in vehicle. I have already had to replace the battery once due to this.
Door ajar indicator stays on for driver side door which will not lock. Doors cannot be locked while driving, interior lights stay on because of door ajar indicator which in turn drains battery. Unsafe for doors not being able to be locked and lights continue to illuminate while vehicle is off and parked.
The "driver door ajar" warning remains lit even when my door is completely closed. I either have to slam my door closed or open/close my door multiple times for the light to turn off. This week, the light has started coming on while my car is in motion, which freaks me out. Due to the light coming back on even after it initially goes off, my dome light is staying on and running my car battery down. I needed a jump start this week due to my battery being dead. Thank you.
