The door latch switch is faulty and the door ajar light will not go out on the instrument panel. Apparently ford refuses to recall the product. I believe this could lead to a dangerous situation if the door is really ajar and the door could open, drain the battery and when the door switch is malfunctioning, it states that the door is ajar and the doors will not lock.
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
My driver side door sensor would show door ajar intermittently. Sometimes while driving and sometimes from the time I start my vehicle. When the door ajar would come on it would automatically open the locks on all the doors. This scared me b/c I have 2 kids in the back and driving down the highway with unlocked doors is not very safe at all as they can open the door anytime by mistake. After 3 months of this problem the problem went from intermittent to permanent. Now my door will show door ajar permanently. When I am driving I cannot lock the doors. Also many times while parked in my garage the alarm started going b/c the sensor did something weird. This has happened many times while parked at my work and at home. I am at a lost why ford has not recalled this part as I see many many ford edge users with this problem. This is a big security and most of all safety risk for kids. Please fix this. Also the form does not let me put in my calgary, alberta, canada address but thats where I am . Thank you.
During driving, the engine stopped and car would not accelerate, there was a complete loss of power. There was no warning, and the "yellow wrench" light came on, and car would not go. This was in the middle of the road and could not get off of the road. It happened so quickly, there was no time to react to try to pull over. Lost steering and couldn't move anywhere. Waited for 1 min or so, and restarted car.
April 3- fifteen mins from home (returning from a vacation to gatlinburg, tn), "black screen of death" occurred. Took immediately to dealership. Waited 40 mins while diagnostic run and told to bring back monday, april 7, as apim was discovered to be bad. Would be replaced monday. April 7- returned to dealership for apim to be replaced and told radio was going to be checked; not apim replaced. Argued with staff there, as service manager had already run diagnostic to determine apim needed. Had to wait another three days for apim to come in to dealership. Returned april 10 for apim replacement. May 3- leaving for a 12 hour round trip to athens, ga to bring son home from college..."black screen of death" occurred 6x before getting an hour from home. Occurred 4-5x more on way back from athens, ga. This happened on a saturday so had to call dealership monday. Told to bring in may 8. May 8- told issue could not be duplicated. Discovered through discussion w/ service personnel that my phone had never been connected w/ sync when these problems have occurred; techs had been diagnosing in a different direction. Appears that radio is true issue. Personnel said they would check w/ service manager about getting radio replaced. May 12- called and told that ford has said that until issue can be duplicated, nothing will be done to fix my car. If I leave car for undetermined time frame, allow to be driven long distances (adding miles to car), maybe problem can be duplicated. No rental allowed bc issue not covered under warranty. This is my only vehicle. Bought $40,000 car for navigation system and cannot use properly bc it keeps going out on long trips.
When all doors are closed, the door ajar lamp will illuminate.
Driver door ajar warning light remains on when door is securely closed. Overhead dome light remains on and doors will not lock while car is in motion. Safety hazard with inability to have doors locked while car is in motion. Excessive wear on the car battery (recently replaced) with overhead dome lights remaining illuminated for 3 minutes after car is in motion and 10 minutes after while car is turned off. While the issue of the door ajar alarm continues to be on and door latch is defective the car alarm randomly goes off without door manipulation. Car alarm has gone off up to 3 times in a day and occurs 4-5 days per week causing disruption in the neighborhood. Many complaints have been posted online regarding this issue of a defective door latch that warrants a recall on ford's behalf due to potential safety concerns. Children could open the door of the backseat while the car is in motion due to the inability to lock the doors.
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.
Door ajar light for driver side front door does not go off when door is securely closed. Must close door 3 to 7 times for it to go off. I have seen several other reports of this problem on internet.
Drivers side door latch mechanism is defective. After closing the door the sensor which detects the door being shut is not activated properly. The instrument panel indicates that the door is ajar. The interior lights stay on until the vehicle is in motion. Most seriously however is that while this problem is occurring, the vehicle doors cannot be locked. None of them. A child in the back seat could easily open the doors while the car was in motion. Even if the driver pushes the door lock button to engage all 4 door locks, they pop right back open after a few seconds. The remote will also not activate the security system when you are outside the vehicle. The horn chirps twice indicating that the doors are ajar.
All four door ajar indicators are stuck. Inside lights will not go out until vehicle reaches approx 15 MPH which blinds the driver when pulling out of driveways, etc.
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".
Instrument panel indicates driver's door not closed. Door ajar light is on. Safety concern with the 2011 ford edge.
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.
The door latch sensor malfunctions causing the instrument panel to announce that the door is ajar even though all four doors are locked correctly. If you cannot make the message go away by reopening and shutting the door, then the doors will not lock once the vehicle is in motion and the dome lights will remain illuminated. Also, the biggest danger is that the latch can malfunction while driving causing the doors locks to unlock while driving at high rates of speed. This is concerning given that my son rides in the back seat.
The door ajar light stays on and interior door locks will not lock. This is not safe when the vehicle is in motion. Ford needs to issue a recall. I've contacted ford and they have not provided a response. I have three children under 9 and the doors not locking automatically is a significant safety risk and it has been a know issue for over 4 years and ford has even issued a service bulletin regarding the problem.
The door ajar light stays on and interior door locks will not lock. This is not safe when the vehicle is in motion. Ford needs to 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.
Having an issue with the drivers door sensor. Door sensor still shows the door to be ajar even after several attempts to close. Sensor picks up that the door is closed about 1/3rd to 1/2 the time you attempt to close. Sensor not functioning properly will allow a warning light in the dashboard to stay on until recognized. The main problem is it keeps the dome light illuminated until you continue to close and the sensor picks up. I have an issue with the sensor coming on and showing ajar while driving. With the dome light coming on, I'm not to happy about not being able to drive at night. Found through chat rooms and forums that several other complaints pertaining to this issue, with no fix from ford. Ford dealer service reps have known it is a problem, but just say to call ford to see if the problem can be covered. Ford district rep., when told of the problem was asked why there is not a recall for this issue. I was told that ford does not issue the recall, it needs to come from the federal safety agency. So hopefully by having to file a complaint to receive some action will show more numbers as to this faulty safety sensor. The other issue would be if the part replaced is going to be the same part number that people are having trouble with. I would be just waiting a few more years for the same issue to arise. Or have they changed the part to rectify the problem. That remains to be seen as I have no alternative but to have the part replaced at $394.00. Although I am 6000 miles under warranty, I am 2 1/2 months past the 3 years.
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.
Problem: door ajar sensor my ford edge door ajar light comes on and will not turn off no matter how many times I attempt to shut the door. With this light on the doors will not lock and the interior lights do not turn off for a period of 10-15 minutes. My daughter and I drive in my edge everyday, with the doors not locking I find that this can be a very dangerous hazard. Today we were driving thru the mall parking lot and a stranger approached my edge as if he were going to attempt to open the passenger door. At the time the door ajar light was on and all doors were unlocked, as the vehicle will not allow you to lock the doors with this light on. Lord forbid he would have opened that passenger door and harmed my daughter. Does it take a tragedy to happen before the manufacturer decides to deem this problem a legitimate recall..... I have read a tremendous about of complaints regarding this problem, how can this be transformed into a recall issue? What does it take to get ford or the safety board to resolve this??

The drivers side front door sensor does not work. The door is closed but it still shows on the dash door ajar. This does not let the doors lock while driving. I feel that this is very unsafe while driving also unsafe for my family to drive in certain areas of the city. I don't even know if the airbags will work.
I've been having issues with the door sensors. I closed the door and the door ajar alarm comes up. I have to slang the door really hard and a few times until the sensors picks it up. When driving I can not locked the doors because the car thinks the doors are ajar. I looked it online and many ford edge's owners had the same issues, they should call for a recall since this is safety problem.
Driver door ajar indicator is illuminated when door is shut. Door must be closed repeatedly to get the ajar light to go off.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled twice with the illumination of the check engine warning light. The contact was able to restart the vehicle both times. Additionally, the vehicle would shake violently and lose power without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
