The emergency flashers turn on at anytime including when the vehicle is not running. The only way to turn off is to disconnect wire. We have car in to garage and they had never heard of this happening before!! They 1st said would cost up to $600 but they didn't know what problem was now they are saying a module has to be replaced and will cost over $1100. I did see on line where there was a recall that stated the module had to be replaced to correct electrical problem, and ford would take care of it. I don't feel I should be billed for this since they know there is an electrical issue and module is only fix. The car does not have to be in motion for this to happen it has happened even when the car is parked!!
Passenger door ajar light remains on at all speeds and stationary. Safety of myself and children are in jepardy because my car no longer locks. We will be trading this vehicle in. Safety isn't something you risk. Extremely upsetting. With alll of the issues posted that ford hasn't sent a recall on this.
When I shut my driver door the light comes on the dashboard saying "driver door ajar". I have to keep shutting/slamming the door to clear alarm. At most it will not go off. When I start to drive with all the doors closed all doors should lock and they don't because the door is open. I have two young children and I don't think it's safe. When I hit my key to lock the doors after I get out my interior lights stay on which is causing low battery! This needs to be fixed! For you to provide vehicles to the world safety is a must and their are so many others out there that has this problem why be so slow to correct it!!
On 5/20/17 we noticed the door ajar light was on and interior dome light stayed on while driving. Stopped the car, opened and closed each door, sometimes several times and seemed to be the driver's side back door. Lights all finally went off. The next day the issue returned - dome light remained on for 1.5 days and door ajar light was also on. The night of 5/22 my husband directed my son to try something with the door latch on that door and that got the lights to go off again. It's dangerous to drive the car at night when the interior lights won't go off not to mention that this will cause battery drainage.
When driver side door is shut light stays on and says door is ajar, makes battery run out of juice. Passenger side air bag is off at all times even when passenger is sitting in seat.
"door ajar" sensor on driver's door not sensing when door is shut causing doors not to lock automatically when in motion at any speed and causing battery drainage as lights will not turn off after being locked when parked, which also exposes contents of vehicle for potential theft.
Front driver side door switch does not operate properly causing false indication that door is not closed. Warning indicator can be overridden but this can cause a potential hazard if driver routinely ignores indicator and the door is not actually latched. Based on my on line search this is a common problem with this model. I consider this a serious safety issue. This issue should be investigated for a potential recall. This condition exists while the car is stationary or in motion.
Door ajar switch not working properly
The door ajar light stays on even when the doors are closed. This then drains battery and leaves driver stranded. It also keeps the interior lights from shutting down because the system thinks the door is ajar. It doesn't matter if the car is running or not this happens.
The drivers side door latch does not catch. This causes the "drivers door ajar" warning. This also causes the lights to no turn off when the car is parked and turned off. This resulting the battery being drained. When battery is drained the car won't start and can leave the driver stranded.
The passenger door is showing on panel as "door ajar" even though it is closed. It will not lock and the dome light will not shut off therefore draining my battery too.
The driver door is showing "door ajar" even though it is shut. The panel lights and dome light will not shut off. The doors will not lock. The battery is being drained from the lights not turning off.
I have a 2011 ford edge 2nd yr the door ajar light stays on which keeps all the interior lights on and draining the battery. I've had the sensor replaced once but it started again 6 months later. The dealer aside I need to replace them all at 400 dollars a door I've replaced the battery twice at 230 dollars each because the speedometer reads 60mph when the car is sitting still has to be fixed and the my key needs to be reprogrammed. It's a hazard at night because the dome lights stay on while trying to drive. And the dead battery has left me and my family stranded twice. .
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that the instrument panel lighting remained illuminated and the "door ajar" message was displayed. In addition, the dome light remained illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.
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.
Door ajar light stays on. Not sure if door is opened or closed driver side.. Worried that the door will open while driving. Battery has died in the car already because the interior lights stay on.
When the drivers door is shut the door ajar warning stays on and the interior light stays on.
Driver door is latched but dome light remains on. Door ajar warning light stays on. Will not shut off , have to shut door multiple times until door ajar light and dome lights turn off. Turns on randomly even while in driving gear. Light will even stay on when vehicle is off . Which if not caught might drain the battery. This has happened multiple times in a day . To every day. Even at night time which caused it hard to drive.
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!
I bought this car 2015 in the late winter. From the time I bought it the drivers door sensor would say its ajar. According to the dealer it would be about $1000 to fix. Tonight my auto door unlock doesn't work and neither does the key unlock the door. I'm stranded 30 miles from home. This is totally unacceptable. I will be letting anyone who asks to be extremely cautious about any ford products.
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.
My problem is with a 2011 ford edge. The door ajar light stays on all the time. The dome lights inside the vehicle will not go out and is hazardous when driving at night. The dome lights stay on while driving. I had to replace my battery and now I am afraid my new battery will run down and leave me stranded away from home.
Door ajar warning light on dash after closing doors repeatedly. Dome lights remain on and drain battery lfe.
"door ajar" light remains on the passenger side door. This causes car doors to stay unlocked, dome lights to stay on, draining my battery, unable to use the auto car start. Dangerous for my small children who can now open the door while I am driving
Door ajar signal stays on when door is closed interior light stay on when door is closed inability to lock doors faulty latch
The 2 front door switches work sometimes. When parked the car thinks the doors are open and keeps the lights on. Sometimes for no reason the interior lights turn on and it drains the battery. Plus when the switches are not working the car does not think that it is locked and will beep twice when locking the car. When the switches have failed the doors will not lock when driving. I have been stranded because the lights will just come on when in a store and the battery will drain down to where the car will not start.
Door ajar lights for both driver and passenger side doors stay on even though they are closed. Result is that the dome lights stay on and unable to lock the doors while driving even though they are closed. Has caused a drain on the battery, dealer wants a large sum of money to replace the latch even though it's clearly a sensor only.
